court-records.net has them all. Also some great official art. If I weren't so fond of my avatar, I'd use the one for this game (http://www.court-records.net/arts/GS3%20artwork.bmp) in a heartbeat.
Here's the 1up review, which hadn't been posted yet

GTFO with your terrible ideas. Gyakuten Saiban was born on handhelds and it should stay on handhelds 'til it dies.

Bullshit, Gyakuten Saiban is just screaming for a full-blown old-school traditional point-and-click adventure experience of epic proportions. If I can't get it on the PC, the Wii will work just fine.charlequin said:

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with the series as realized on handhelds. It not only has gameplay more suited to play on the go than almost anything else (since you can stop and true-save anywhere, anytime) but a console version can only fuck things up by adding unnecessary bullshit like voice acting or (perish the thought) 3d. The final cases of PW games make it perfectly clear that the DS is more than capable of delivering on "epic" when need be.

Also the two-screen interface works way too well.
It'd be really annoying having to bring up a menu and crowd out all of the text just to look for some evidence.
The current system does not need changing.

Holy crap! Case 5, so far, is a dream come true.
Finally finished it. Overall im pretty happy. Its probably the best game of the series, had tons of those small touches
The music was pretty good, and the psycholocks feel well placed. Theres 5 cases vs the 4 of PW2 so theres a good amount of content. Great new characters and the return of old ones.
My problem was with the 5th case.... Its a real good case. Its just
Ill be honest. I dont know if i wanna play PW4. Sure its the "first ds" game and all that but these characters, Phoenix, Maya, Gumshoe, Edgeworth you end up loving them like the cast of a good TV show. Nobody liked Joey they liked Friends. To me i dont know if ill like Apollo even if Wright is semi invovled. Sounds silly i guess.
Spoony bard? Things Break? Know your role? imaterial girl in an imaterial world, isnt it ironic dont you think, ghost in a shell, rocko claw of the tiger ect
My problem was with the 5th case.... Its a real good case. Its just
I HATED the ending. Mayas mother ends up being killed in some stupid plan by Godot to protect Maya. Why not just have Misty channel Dahlia in a jail cell or something. Tremendously stupid. I was always hoping the Harry Potter wannabee was Morgan Fey who is still in Prison still didnt kill Maya and could probably plan something else from there. How stupid...... Other than that the case is pretty amazing. Playing as Edgeworth was soooo so good, and seing Francheska again was pretty awesome. Having them help you was pretty good. I also ended up caring for Godot, when he cried tears of blood. That was sooooo sad. Its a good ending to the series, though not perfect. Theres still a ton of characters i would have liked to have seen to properly "finish" the series. Case 4 from PW2 feels more like the true ending i guess than Case 5 of PW3. This case just ties all the loose ends i suppose..

Playing last case of the second game right now. I love Phoenix Wright. Can't wait to start the third game. I love how you get impossible cases with seemingly guilty clients from every angle and somehow always prove them innocent.
This might be a little spoilerish, but while I love the game, it some times seems like the formula gets a little repetative.
Does this aspect change in the 3rd game? Do they switch it up a bit?

Every case is a murder crime. Every client is innocent, in every court your client is proven innocent and you find the real murderer in one of the witnesses.

While I have some disagreements with 1up in many instances, I must say that they must be one of the damn sites to actually get the review right on the spot.

and also isn't the point of phoenix wright games sort of "being there from the beginning" so to speak? seeing familiar characters reappear in a new game etc. I'll admit I don't know if PW4 follows the plot of the prvious games or not, but I'm betting there are at least a few familiar faces.

From what I hear, the USA version is far superior.
It fixes spelling errors, grammar problems, and has some features not taken out.

What I did like about the line was that it was a double-reference.

No, that is what zack and wiki is for.
GS is for the handhelds.
I still spotted like 2 spelling errors or so, which I think may be an improvement over the previous games.Hcoregamer00 said:
So anyways, I just finished it. I just finished the game. Holy crap. I am so disappointed. Why? For one, I was sort of expecting some crazy shit to go down, you know, as a prelude to the Apollo game, but no, it all just falls nice and neatly for the game itself. I guess I'll just have to wait to find out why Phoenix leaves his work as a lawyer :/
Personally, I don't know if it was because I used a guide at certain points in the game when I got stuck or what, but sometimes, I feel like the solutions were way too obscure, or as was the case with the previous games, the solution of what you had to do at what points made the game essentially punish you for not following the linear path that it's set. I know that that's not a new problem to the series or anything, and I've been here since the first PW, but you know what? I think it was smart of them to start the series anew with Apollo.
It really does feel like the series got, as Kodiak put it so nicely, "Splinter-celled." I can't wait for the Apollo Justice game.

Finished it myself, and I thought it was the best of the three. Everything wraps up in a nice, yet satisfying package. All the loose ends from part 1 and 2 are tied up, and Godot was pretty damn awesome. I'm an Edgeworth fanboy myself, but there were definitely times that I thought Godot's lines were simply brilliant and outshined even Edgey's.
Sure, you have to suspend disbelief at times (
), but it's within reason, especially considering this game is hardly aiming for realism anyway. It's an anime PnC courtroom drama. Together, those elements are a potent brew for craziness.
As some have said, I'm not looking forward to Apollo Justice. Ace Attorney without the entire Phoenix Wright cast is meh and very unappealing. I couldn't care less about having more "DS functionality" in the games (if it's at the expense of losing all the characters). That said, I'm fine with ending the real series here, because it was a great conclusion to what really was a trilogy.

For example, while I thought the ending was great, Godot's reasoning for saving Maya the way he did was a bit 'out there'

I have a good feeling that load of you are going to be eating your own words when Apollo comes out. Quite honestly, I'm glad that they have a few returning characters, but a mostly brand new cast. I mean, admit it, if they kept on going with phoenix wright 4 and 5 and 6, with the same cast, you know that the games would become stale, repetitive, and convoluted, in an attempt to keep things interesting.
The use of DS functionality in the last case of the first PW:AA was a huge hint at what's to come, and I welcome that with open arms. No more ports!

I look forward to Apollo Justice because of this trailer:

Yeah, I vehemently disagree with your reasoning. That's pretty much like saying that keeping the same cast of your favorite TV show from season to season automatically makes it get stale after a while. It doesn't. If the writing goes stale, then yes, the characters will too. However, that's not the case with Phoenix Wright yet. The truth is they got a new cast, because it's a new system. This switching of main characters is no different from Raiden usurping the lead role from Solid Snake in MGS2, and we know how that turned out.
That said, I have no problem with introducing new blood into the series, since I like that they ended on a high-note with a pseudo trilogy. My problem, however, is that I've already heard mixed impressions about AA4. Pretty much everything I have read boils down to: "Fun gameplay stuff, but boring cast and writing." This is exactly what I didn't want to happen - a boost to the gameplay at the expense of the characters and story. Who plays a (semi)PnC adventure for gameplay? I don't, even though it definitely doesn't hurt.
