Objection!

Your honor, while the defense makes several good points about the defendant’s strengths, it makes no mention of the game’s obvious faults. The biggest problem with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is that it has very limited replay value. While the game is surprisingly long for a text based adventure game, with four of the five cases each taking about 3-5 hours to complete, the fact is that the game has very little replay value. Once you have experienced the story, there is next to no reason to go back and play it again. No branching story lines, no additional endings, no unlockables, no nothing. While the game gives you choices on what you want to say, 95% of the time these choices have no impact on the outcome of the game. The remaining 5% comes from the fact that there are one or two choices where making the wrong choice will result in you either losing the case or losing an exclamation point.
