The story is deep and well thought out, the script at times dark, at times humorous, but always entertaining.

Invested Phoenix fans get five well-written, twist-filled cases to end a trilogy that unquestionably deserves a seat right next to titans like Maniac Mansion and the Space Quest series. Just make sure you play the first two Ace Attorneys first -- this is one courtroom you shouldn't enter unprepared.

This is by far the deepest, darkest game in the series, yet the superb writing means that it will also be the funniest you'll encounter.

While Capcom is known for milking its franchises, Trials and Tribulations is not a mindless sequel. You'll cheer. You'll boo. You might even yell, "Objection!" The first entry is still the best, at least in English, but the final Phoenix Wright game definitely surpasses the second.

The third game in the much-loved lawyer-sim series makes a watertight case for classic status.

The story is phenomenal, the music is some of the best, and it leaves Phoenix Wright and friends off on a spectacular note.

The Ace Attorney series has got increasingly better with each entry and the conclusion to the Phoenix Wright trilogy ties all plot threads together so seamlessly it makes this a must-have for those who became engrossed with the first two.

The best Ace Attorney game by miles - just play 1 & 2 first! [May 2008, p.89]

It's been a great run; court is adjourned.

It ranks as my favorite installment in the trilogy. The gameplay brought nothing new to the table, but playing it for the plot and characters has left me more than satisfied.
