First of all, to anyone who wants to play this game to completion, please realize that this is a port of a full fledged game, so don't expect it to be free. You have to buy the chapters 2-5 to play the full game, and the first chapter is free, to give you a taste of what to expect in the game, to see wether or not the game is worth it for you. Do not get mad at the developers for charging you to play a port of a console game. Now, onto my review.I am only in the third chapter (Day two - trial) and I am absolutely loving this game. Fantastic addition to the series so far. Tbh, I'm enjoying this game too much to notice the flaws. The characters are incredibly intriguing and complex and from a narrative standpoint, most of the trials are very solid. I've only had to pull up a walk through once in all my playtime as I couldn't understand what the game was asking of me. Other than that, it is a great story driven game, with chapters that can last you a great while, with even the first chapter (taking place in JUST the courtroom) lasting me 2+ hours. Just be prepared to do a lot of reading, as most visual-novel games do. Not the greatest addition to the series, but great as a standalone title and great for those who want to get into the Phoenix Wright franchise.

Well, of course, this is what you get when you release an awesome addition to a long-running DS game series to the IOS App Store: you get a wave of drooling, casual morons who don't understand that Phoenix Wright games are visual novels and that you actually need half your brain to play them. And they give the game low scores because they're too stupid and impatient to know that, or appreciate the game for what it is. Then they treat it like it's freemium for charging for each chapter when Phoenix Wright games are normally DS games that go for about $30 in stores. Unbelievable, this level of ignorance. Go back to your Angry Birds, you ADD-suffering, brainless losers.But for people who actually know and love Phoenix Wright, this game is a gem. It was so much fun playing the first chapter on my phone. The graphics and anime cutscenes are lovely. The controls are little clunky on this little screen, so I think I'll end up buying the full game on the 3DS store instead. Still, this app is great for people who don't have a 3DS. Definitely a great buy, don't let the illiterate idiots who can't read tell you otherwise!

Being a hardcore Ace Attorney fan for years, I admit I was worried about this game due to the transition from 2D to 3D, as well as the seemingly wonky storyline they were trying to do. After playing it on the 3DS, I was very impressed and like all other Ace Attorney games I was not disappointed. When I heard it was going over to iOS, like the Trilogy and PW:AA before that, I was scared and excited. Nevertheless, I was even more impressed by this version. For those who complain about the length of the build up, that's common place in this series and I believe that the way it does explain things in such detail and length is crucial to this series maintaining it's position as a "visual novel" of sorts, but also to help new players get the just of what has gone on in the past 5 main storyline games. The music is amazing, but that's just another thing that has failed to disappoint me. In conclusion, I applaud CAPCOM with bringing Dual Destinies to iOS. Now I can continue to obsess over these games virtually everywhere. 5/5 with no objections from me!

I loved this game on my 3DS, and I'm happy to see it here available on the App Store where a bigger audience can now get the chance to play this fantastic game. Also, despite being the fifth game in the series, I believe any newcomer will be able to jump in to the series here. Especially considering that the game has, what I believe to be, a somewhat lower difficulty curve than the previous games. I encourage anyone to download this and play through the first case. If you aren't hooked by then, I can help you. The game appeared to run fine on my crummy sadly abused iPad 2 so it should, theoretically, run just as well if not better on anything newer. The DLC case is also a treat and worth the price. The costumes... I got it for the Old-School suit available for Phoenix, because of my nostalgia for the older games. The other two costumes are a bit meh. It's only 99 cents so it's your call.

I've only played the first episode so far, but already it's not as good as the first case in the first game. It's very easy and there was no travel to different areas. It had simplistic gameplay compared to the earlier games such as a sheer lack of choice (although there was some) in what lead you would pursue. I also felt that the new girl character is a poor attempt to get younger people into the series because of her necklace that helps analyze the case for you, which simplifies the cross-examination and brings the game farther from real law than it already is. Which is another point I want to bring up: the game isn't realistic (this is not part of my score). In real law the lawyers and judge could have no personal relationship to the defendant. Also, in real law the client is often the one that actually commits the crime. Not the witness, as is who is the actual murderer (or whatever happened) in every ace attorney game I've ever played. But that's my personal opinion, it's worth a try.

I had played the previous Phoenix wright games on my DS a few years back and I remember really enjoying the game and playing all the games within the span of a month. A few years later and I find that Capcom has released a new Phoenix Wright game and I was ecstatic. This is a big graphics update from the first game for sure. New characters (as well as returning ones), animated and voiced cutscenes, plus the same nostalgic feel from the older games. What more could a Phoenix Wright fan want? If you are a fan of the series of games like me, this is a must have! If you are new to the games, and enjoyed this one I highly recommend you try the older games as well. Word of warning though, this game is very much like a visual novel of sorts and extremely linear. If this doesn't interest you, then it's safe to say this isn't the game for you. However, if you enjoy games like that, then this game is for you!
