... is definitely my 'game of the month'.
Despite my continuing enjoyment of Tetris and Animal Crossing, and despite having the latest Metroid game (which we've only been waiting for since we had the demo/taster from the release date) I'm totally addicted to this game.
Has anyone else played it? Apparently it's now so hard to find now that people in the US are importing them from the UK (I am playing the American version as a friend sent it to me
) but I'd definitely recommend picking it up if you see it.
You are an attorney straight out of training and the general idea is to solve several murder mysteries, and getting a 'not guilty' verdict for your client. You don't just play the time in court, you have to gather the evidence outside the court and then find fault in testimonies in court.
If you are as 'old school' as me, you'll instantly recognise the genre as the descendant of the old Lucas Arts 'point and click' adventure... yes it's really that good
The first 4 'cases' are ported and build upon a GBA game never released outside Japan, and the fifth and final case is a brand new adventure for the DS, I have finished the first four and am just starting on the fifth one now
Brilliant game and I'd highly recommend it
Apparently it's so popular in Japan that it's being ported to mobile phones with new cases every few months
