The first of an amazing series. Starting off strong, this game holds up to modern eras. The overarching story interweaving the characters is really something special. I love all chapters and all characters of this game. Every chapter and character subsequently introduced is beautifully crafted, both design-wise and story-wise. I can prattle on about all the separate chapters and how amazing they are, including every side character, but that'd take way too long. It's a great introduction to an amazing story that will persist for another two games, although the second for the most part ignores it. The music is perfect. It's all perfect! I love this game. Phoenix Wright is a great main character, and every other character is so surrounded by tragedy that playing Phoenix Wright feels very rewarding, solving the mysteries surrounding the people and bringing to justice the evils of the Japanifornia area.
