Innovative concepts  
OBJECTION!

I like the Phoenix Weight series a lot. The witty and sharp dialogue, the weird characters, the references to pop culture, and the twists and turns. The Phoenix Wright games are like good books. Good, interactive books which you have to yell into to object, and books that penalize you for accusing the wrong suspects. With a game like this, however, there is little the developers can do with each sequel to refresh the gameplay, other than add new characters, and cases. This is both this game's strong point and weak point. Trials and Tribulations is the third game of the beloved series, and poses to compete, if not surpass the other games. One thing I'm going to point out, right off the bat is that this game is more of the same. This is good because upon completing the previous games, you are always left wanting more, and the stories, characters, and dialogue are always fun to tread through. So in a sequel, you're generally wanting some good ol' Phoenix Wright action with minor innovations, but more fine tuning. The bad, however, is the fact that with very little change after each installment, it is easy for the game, and the series as a whole to get repetitive. This doesn't really bother me, because I loved the formula before, and I know what I came for. But this is certainly something to keep note of if you plan on purchasing the game. There is a lot of reading in the game, but the dialogue is good, the tracks are memorable, the cases are challenging, the prosecutors are obnoxious...there's just not much more you can ask for in a hand held adventure game.
