I've been following Phoenix Wright from a distance for awhile now. Not owning a DS, I didn't have the chance to try it to begin with.
The interest started when my brother showed me the game. Eventually, I discovered "Phoenix Wrong" which lead to me discovering the Court Records site. After doing quite a bit of reading and running through the available manga, I think it's safe to say I'm interested in the series.
The issue is, the idea of a lawyer game itself does not sound all that "fun" to be personally. I'm more of an action-oriented game player, and the gameplay to this series just doesn't seem to hit home with me.
Should I try to give the games a try anyway, or continue to follow the series from a distance?

It's SO addicting, but if you're not into those genres...

Seriously though, I had the same feelings as you did, but I was still hooked. Try it, you likely won't be disappointed. Especially considering your fairly considerable devotion to the series already.
OFF-TOPIC: Huh, this forum has a feature where if someone posts while you're posting, it warns you before your post goes up and lets you change your post. Awesome.
That's, like, totally gonna help me, like, avoid saying stupid things, yeah.

I'm guessing Lumines II doesn't count.
Last time I physically played a game like Phoenix Wright was... I think Carmen Sandiego back in 3rd grade.

If you can appreciate good writing your can appreciate PW. It's the only game I've played that can be classed as funny.

But, that's just me speaking. Personally, I love suspense.

When I show my friends they all say: So you kill the witness? Or...
No, you justice them.
Then they lovingly refer to it as the game where you run around the courtroom yelling Objection.
Just try it. You'll like it.
Thinking back to it, I gamefly'd Ace Attorney before I bought it, and the first time I played it was in the dentist waiting room. I was caught off guard when the first word was Damn. In a nintendo game...Awesome. The rest was history!

Mega Man said the exact same thing in Mega Man X3. That was even more shocking to me than in this. The game got a freaking E Rating.

But yeah, it's a text adventure, so if you can't get past that it will be tough to get into PW :)

Then you've never played Monkey Island XD
ON TOPIC: I would buy the game if I were you. It is brilliant and you could also ask the store if you could exchnge it within a certain amount of time (I have a game store near me which does that.)

(I'd happily turn off the DS a million times to get past that case :3)
Floating down through these autumn leaves,
My heart, for a moment, stops.
My eyes are empty, my face emotionless,
Because nothing can hurt me now.

PW is probably one of my favorite series' of all time. I actually am mostly an Action Junkie.. but I also enjoy debating and law. As a fan of Japanese games and humor I was immediately hooked. The story is amazing but the actuality is that I play mostly for the courtroom sessions, because my dream has always to been to become a Lawyer, even before I played this game. Although it is quite far fetched from real life court, it still gives you a sort of representation of it. I would rec commend picking up the game, even if you are an action gamer.

I know what you mean. Save, then die then start from the save point then die then start again ect. It takes many hour ;-; It's totally worth it though!
Hey there! Glad to have you on here ^_^
That does help. If you don't find the jokes funny then the game looses part of its charm. I think most people find at least some of it funny though! I just giggle to myself while play and don't care who hears me. I also tried shouting into the mike once, but felt really stupid >.>;

Shouting into the mike is SUPPOSED to make you feel stupid XD I tried it too...
Honestly, if you're really into FPS then you may not want to buy this game. I think if you could be lent it by a friend first then you could see how you felt about it ^^"

You literally don't even have to try.
Before this, I played games of many genres: Action, RPG (Lots of them), etc. I hadn't played any text adventures. They were a bit before my time. However, I greatly enjoy and have a deep love for older games that have this old feeling to them that just isn't present in newer games. I'm talking Final Fantasy 1. Love the game.
Being that I'm a big book reader, and interesting plots and characters draw me in, I was happy as all hell to be playing this game. It moved my list of my favorite series. A list that remained unchanged for many, many years. I think that speaks for itself whether you'll like the game or not. Give it the shot it deserves.
