Wanna Be a Lawyer? Try Apollo Justice!

Okay, this game came out quite some time back in 2008, but I only managed to get hold of the game recently. Glad I wasn't too late.


"Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" is the fourth game in the Ace Attorney Series, and basically you act as a lawyer to help exonerate your innocent defendants from their crimes.

Be warned though, if you have not played the last three installments, PLEASE don't try this game first as it may be a bit tough for beginners. Yes, even the first case, as I felt that it's too hard for a novice.

Other than the "Press" and "Present" features that were already present in the first game, many new features have been included since then. Just in case you are already lost here, this is what the terms mean:

"Press" (right) -- To press is to force more information out of the witness/defendants. They may have left out some of these info during their original testimonies and doing this will shed more light on the case and give players more details. You will shout "Hold It!" in an event of pressing for info.

"Present" -- To present is to catch the contradiction in the witnesses'/defendant's via the help of evidence in the court records.

So I was speaking of the new features in the game. Since the first game, where we have the basic two functions, I present to you these features...

1."Psyche-lock" -- Oh, this. One feature that I hate. Sometimes, people hide evidence from you, so you will be able to detect the person is lying. They will be surrounded with locks like this:

With the help of evidence, you will have to break the locks, so they will reveal the info they have been hiding from you. It gets very troublesome after a while, at least for me.

2."Perceive" -- I like this feature, and very much also. Perceive allows you to catch some unusual actions when the witness/defendant is saying his testmony. If the witness displays a nervous twitch, the player can press the "Perceive" button that is located where the bracelet icon was twice, causing Justice to yell "Gotcha!" Awesome stuff to hit the witnesses/ defendants if they are lying.

If you want to have a taste of how being a lawyer will be, I assure you that this is a very good game to have! Even though trials in real life are much scarier and complex, this isstill surreal enough for a game.

But like I have said before...
Novices to attempt this game at your own risk!!!
