Pros: The game is truly designed to take advantage of DS capabilities. Story is VERY involving. Gameplay is invigoratingly different. Music had charmed from the start. Artwork and "animations" are really well done. Several cool features and gameplay mechanics make this an interesting type of game.

Cons: None for me. A person not inclined to sit and think may not enjoy this game. However, puzzle lovers will adore this title.

Other Thoughts: Since I'm a newcomer to the Phoenix Wright series, these comments might be a little biased. I had only heard about the series when I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to buy this game. I was somewhat worried that I would be disappointed. I wasn't. The game had me hooked right from the first time I played. Everything about the game and its mechanics was very thought-provoking. I really don't know how to describe it, but this game has made me think in a way few others have. The more I played through the story the more respect and astonishment I gained toward the genius of this game's creators. I think the game is not only a sequel to previous successful titles, but I got the feeling that the game was a very involved treatise on human nature. The story was so disarmingly involving I think I'll die if a sequel isn't published (they left it on a real cliff hanger). For anyone slightly inclined toward puzzles or perhaps philosophy this game will be a superb piece of entertainment.
