Metareview (the web) - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All

I'm surprised anyone at DS Fanboy is even around manning the posts! I imagined a complete lack of content for as long as it would take for y'all to buy Justice for All and play the crap out of it ;)

It's interesting what the reviewers are saying, but it's certainly not putting me off. If the game gives the same quality stories/twists as the original, I'll be more than happy.

*still waiting for it to ship to her local EB*

I wouldn't worry about it too much Hannah. Pheonix Wright 2, like Lumines 2 and Guitar Hero 2, is just more of the same thing. Which isn't a bad thing for us, because we get more of the greatness we enjoy, but usually bad for reviews since "they see nothing innovative"

We have to be here, Hannah, or they beat us. But we're all secretly playing PW with our left hands and typing only with the right. It's tricky, but you can really learn to use the stylus in your teeth.

I'm kidding.

...or am I?

I'm wondering why i even bother pre-ordering from EB/GameStop... I get the phone call that says come in for your copy of Phoenix Wright... so I show up and guess what? The shipment didnt come in and they aren't sure if it will even make it in today... WTF?! a bad day just got worse!

shawn, my case wasn't nearly as bad as yours. But I reserved two copies of the game at my local GameStop on the 15th. One was for myself, and one was for my sister. Of course, because I preordered two copies of the game, I was under the impression I would get two of the bonus styli when I picked the games up when GameStop got them in stock.

Well, when I went to pick them up today, they only had one stylus left! In fact, they had only gotten six total! I guess I can't blame GameStop, though, since they can probably only get as many as Capcom will send them, but maybe GameStop just misreported the numbers to Capcom, too.

Either way, I emailed Capcom about the problem tonight, and hopefully they can come through and send me the second bonus stylus I was supposed to receive.

I have to say, though, the stylus and the rest of the little bonus package is pretty cool, if not only for the novelty of it. The game, however, oh yes...PHOENIX WRIGHT IS BACK!!11

Having already played through the game (I'm a PW nut and already imported it, though I'm going to buy the US release too - I have it on pre-order), my impressions are that PW2 is just as good as the first game, but a couple situations in Case 3 prevent me from calling it better than the original. At best, it matches it, but it does not exceed it.

The final case, though, is probably the best one yet.
