[quote name='Mr Durand Pierre']I just beat this game today. Honestly, I found it to be pretty dissapointing. The characters and plots were well written, but really unnecessarily long-winded, and not being able to speed up the text was a major thorn in its side. And while some of the puzzles were good, there weren't nearly enough of them. And the non-court segments were a pain in the ass as you usually just had to show everyone every piece of evidence until something new would happen and then someone else would appear in a different local, making it horribly linear. Ultimately, I felt that it moved too slow as a book, and there wasn't enough gameplay in it to be much of a game. As much as I like the idea of a lawyer game, I didn't think Phoenix Wright came close to living up to its potential.
Still, I'm not sorry I bought it since it will only increase in value over time. If anyone's interested I'd be willing to trade my copy for Ouendan.[/QUOTE]
HOLD IT!!!

Mr. Durand Pierre, did you not buy the game knowing that it was text adventure?
