Gaming Best Phoenix Wright Game?

[Raika]

I was wondering which Phoenix Wright game for the DS is the best?
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials And Tribulations
I couldnt make up my mind which one to play, suggestions?

You should definitely play them in order. The stories link together, so if you want to enjoy them to the fullest extent, start with the first one.

 

[Vague Rant]

I felt the first one was a lot more logical than the sequels, especially the second. I often felt like the leaps in reasoning were too big in the sequels, and had to resort to walkthroughs quite a few times (which largely ruins the games, but replaying entire sections is even worse).

playing them in order is a must

but i prefer 2

 

[kaisai]

Just like everyone else is saying you have to play all of them in order

i liked all of them, i just hated one or two turnbouts

Well, I also just got my NDS. I played Apollo Justice first, then only I play first Phoenix Wright. After playing Apollo Justice, I found out that the first Phoenix Wright game's first & 2nd turnabout is quite predictable, with the exception that the 4th turnabout is really good !

Still need time to play the last case though...

I liked the first one the most.

There are recurring characters throughout the series. Although they re-introduce the characters' backgrounds, I don't think it'd be as enjoyable as actually knowing their past, etc.

I agree with you. I found that the second one was more... unpredictable. It felt like they were just throwing random stuff in there with all the twists and turns.

I enjoyed Trials and Tribulations the most, but definitely play them in order.

The best in my opinion is Trials and Tribulations because of Godot. However, my favorite case was 2-4.
If you're just starting the game, I suggest you play them in order. And keep in mind that case 1-5 has no impact on the story.

...but is awesome.

I liked the first one and apollo.

1, 3, and 2, in order of preference, though the last case in game 2 was excellent. But yes, you're obligated to play all of them in order.

 

[Edgedancer]

Easily the 3rd game. I just love the final case but I could go without the armstrong character.

 

[lincruste]

The third opus, T&T is the great conclusion of a great trilogy.

 

[hksmrchan]

play ace attorney first, then justice for all, then T&T then appolo justice..?

 

[kjean]

I love all of them. Lol.

dude holy crap 1-5 is uber epic its insane. I was in the same problem as you TC and well many people said that i should start with one but i didnt want to because i actually had lost my save and didnt want to do it over but i found a completed save and i am glad i played the first one. The stories are just amazing they will stick with forever play it in order. I am actually about to start PW Justice for all i just finished the first one......its amazing play it in order.

 

[Holaitsme]

I loved trials and tribulations just because the cases seemed more epic and it was the last game before you know what.

Also Godot made it more epic.

 

[Popin]

They are all good, but I played 2 first and loved the randomness of De Killer and Matt Engarde, though, number 1 and 3 did seem longer.

T&T pwnz all of them--but still play them in order
