Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations, known in Japan as Gyakuten Saiban 3, is the third game in the Ace Attorney series, and the last in the trilogy begun with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Plot
With Phoenix Wright's assistant, Maya Fey preparing to take over the leadership of her hometown, Kurain Village, Phoenix starts looking into past cases fought by his deceased mentor, Mia Fey, and finds himself facing a mysterious new prosecutor named Godot.

Why It Deserves A Godot Blend

 * 1) For the first time in the series, Phoenix is no longer the sole playable character; Mia Fey and Miles Edgeworth are also playable at different points in the game.
 * 2) Godot, the new prosecutor, is essentially the previous game's Franziska von Karma done right, with an initially abrasive attitude towards Phoenix, which eventually gives way to a more complex personality, and a vendetta that comes across as far less petty. For that matter, Franziska herself is written far better in the brief appearance that she gets.
 * 3) Very good storyline, widely regarded as the best in the entire Ace Attorney series, with all the plot threads from the two previous games finally converging in the game's final case. The game even makes the seemingly unrelated cases from Justice For All fit into the overall story.
 * 4) Great soundtrack which, again, is arguably the best in the series so far.
 * 5) Maya Fey, after being a comically useless sidekick in the first game and barely even featuring in the second game at all, finally comes into her own as a character.
 * 6) The final case is regarded as the best in the entire series, with all plot threads from the previous two games coming together, as well as introducing new twists and creating an atmosphere of mystery. All characters from the previous games also return and some of them are improved since their previous appearances.
 * 7) The past cases give us the opportunity to see younger versions of many of the familiar characters, helping to show how they've developed as characters since the first game.
 * 8) The game goes from having four cases to five (the first game had a fifth case, but it wasn't added until the DS version), meaning that it has far more content than the previous two.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The same punishing health system from the second game is still in effect here, though it is toned down a little.
 * 2) There's no new gameplay mechanics, being the one of only two Ace Attorney games (along with The Great Ace Attorney 2) to not do so.
