The first game in the series crafted specifically for the DS, Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice puts you in charge of title character Apollo Justice at the outset of his legal career. Controlling the game almost exclusively by pointing and clicking on the DS Touch Screen, you must guide Apollo through an investigation phase before defending clients in the courtroom. During the investigation phase you gather evidence by interviewing witnesses and scouring crime scenes for clues. After you've built a case, you must stand before a judge and defend the innocence of your client by cross-examining witnesses and revealing your findings. Whichever case you are working on, you can expect to become immersed in the deep and entertaining storylines that have become a trademark of the Ace Attorney games.As well as introducing Apollo, the game marks the arrival of several more fascinating characters to the series. There's Apollo's assistant; the young magician Trucy, who's mysterious powers can help you to tell when a witness is giving false evidence. There are also brothers Klavier and Kristoph Gavin – one a rock star and ace prosecutor and the other a level-headed lawyer who is always on hand with helpful tips for Apollo. On top of that, you'll cross paths with the star of the previous Ace Attorney games, Phoenix Wright, in the most dramatic of circumstances!In some of the toughest cases in the Ace Attorney series yet, you'll have to unravel multi-layered mysteries, defend more seemingly in-defensible causes and even persuade a jury of your client's innocence for the first time. And, as fans of the series know, no Ace Attorney game would be complete without the ability to intervene in proceedings by yelling Objection! or Hold it! into the DS microphone.
