Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 1 - Book Review by Joe

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 1

This is the first issue in a series of manga based on the Capcom video game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. This manga follows the same format as the game, as in being divided into separate cases that all tie into each other, rather than just one storyline. There are various references to the game, from small character references to the trademark “OBJECTION!!”.
This particular issue includes all of Case One, Turnabout with the Wind, in which Phoenix is yet again tasked with proving his friend Larry Butz innocent of murder, and the first half of Case Two, Turnabout Gallows, in which a man commits suicide after claiming to be chased by “the spider”, and Phoenix must prove the victim’s boss innocent of the crime. If you’re a fan of the Ace Attorney video games, or just a fan of mystery in general, then try this book out. Trust me, it’ll be worth the time.

If there's going to be a book version of Ace Attorney, it will definitely become a hit! For sure, law students will be interested to read that to get ideas and lessons as well. Since they read tons of books for their studies, this one would be a useful one to be added onto the shelves.

This game deserves an award from gaming reviews and the like. It’s a very sensible game, it’s very engaging, and it lifts up your sense of justice. Video games should be like that: instilled with lessons that can educate and motivate people.
