Gyakuten Saiban 3
Sorti au Japon le 23 janvier 2004 sur Game Boy Advance, Gyakuten Saiban 3 constitue le troisième et dernier volet de la trilogie originale développée et éditée par Capcom. Ce visual novel d'aventure judiciaire voit l'avocat Phoenix Wright affronter un nouveau procureur mystérieux nommé Godot au cours de trois épisodes, tout en proposant une incursion dans le passé à travers les deux premières affaires de la carrière de Mia Fey. Initialement exclusif au marché japonais sur la portable de Nintendo, le titre a connu un portage sur Nintendo DS en 2007 avant d'être rendu accessible ultérieurement sur Wii U et PC (Microsoft Windows).
Côté durée de vie, il faut compter environ 21 heures et demie pour boucler l'histoire principale, tandis qu'une complétion intégrale demande près de 26 heures. L'accueil critique et public s'est montré partagé. La presse spécialisée a salué le retour de l'humour caractéristique de la série, Jolt Online Gaming soulignant des dialogues « hilarants », tandis que GameBrink notait que les fans ne devraient pas être déçus par ce « drame judiciaire supplémentaire ». Du côté des joueurs, l'avis est plus mitigé : certains estiment que le titre reprend les forces du premier opus mais en amplifie les faiblesses, pointant des enquêtes qui s'éternisent et des directions peu claires, d'autres allant jusqu'à le considérer comme le maillon le plus faible de la trilogie originale, citant des affaires jugées peu intéressantes, voire exaspérantes.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The humour from the original game returns in full flow, too. A lot of the dialogue is laugh out loud funny. [JPN Import] »
« More of the same courtroom drama so fans shouldn’t be disappointed. [JPN Import] »
« The verdict is in: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All is another superb graphic-text adventure from the folks at Capcom. [Feb. 2007, p.96] »
« Justice For All gives the fans everything they could want; the cases are longer, the testimonies are harder to crack, the witnesses ever so wily, and the prosecutors are more die-hard than anything you’ve faced. »
« Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All picks up right where its predecessor started, offering one of the best adventure game experiences available on any current console. »
« While the game design has its issues and the localization bloopers are regretful, I still found myself glued to the DS—on my second play through. »
« I hope that future Phoenix Wright titles are able to keep the character and plot development at the same level achieved in Phoenix Wright: Justice For All. »
« Justice is a terrific game, but it suffers in comparison with the previous one. This time around the plot twists aren’t quite as unexpected (you usually know who the real killer is fairly early on), and some of the puzzles in the last case are rather unreasonable. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Basically the same game as the first, with the same strengths, while it's weaknesses are amplified. Cases that drag on for far too long, unclear directions to go, faulty logic and basically the feeling, that the gameplay formula is overstaying it's welcome »
« So easily the weakest of the original trilogy. 3 of the cases in this game range from uninteresting to downright infuriating (I'm looking at you, Turnabout Big Top). The ONLY thing this game has going for it is its last case. Lucky for them, it's the best case in the series. I'm not sure how Farewell, My Turnabout exists. Or more specifically, how it exists in this game. The most welcome subversion of the Ace Attorney series, its most shocking twist, and the most high-stakes plot are all rolled up into one unreal package. It makes this game worth playing, which is the highest compliment I could give to any case in the whole franchise. If you're stuck on one of the other chapters in this game's story, keep pushing through. There's a MASSIVE diamond at the bottom of this cave, even if you have to dig through some dirt to get there. »
« All the cases feel stretched out and **** first phoenix wright game had more direction justice for all has awful pacing.I didn't care about the outcome or the characters of the new **** the cases are also very similar to the last game,so it also feels repetitive.Most of the i wanted the cases to just end but it just kept on going.Justice for all is inferior to the first game in every way. I liked Franziska Von Karma she was an interesting character.l also liked the moral dilemma that phoenix faced in the last **** last case also had a cool twist that I didn't see **** new psyche lock mechanic it made the investigation section which is always drawn out more engaging. The main characters are also very fun and charming like the last game. »
« Me encanta esta franquicia, amo a Wright con todo mi corazón, gran juego este »
« Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All on the DS is another legal rollercoaster that keeps the courtroom drama alive and kicking. If you loved the first one, this sequel is a must-play, continuing the saga of our beloved defense attorney. Case 1 - The Lost Turnabout:Phoenix wakes up with amnesia, defending someone he doesn't know. It's a wild start, throwing you into confusion. The case unfolds with a mix of suspense and humor, setting the tone for the game. Case 2 - Reunion, and Turnabout: This one hits you with a blast from the past. Phoenix defends an old friend accused of murder. The emotions run high, and the plot thickens as you delve into the character's shared history. A dramatic and engaging case that keeps you invested. Case 3 - Turnabout Big Top:Step right up to the circus of crime. This case takes a different turn with a murder under the big top. The characters are eccentric, the puzzles are challenging, and the stakes are high. It's a fresh twist that keeps the gameplay interesting.**Case 4 - Farewell, My Turnabout: This case is a gut punch. Phoenix defends his rival, and the courtroom battles reach new heights. The moral dilemmas and shocking revelations make this case a standout. It's emotional, intense, and a testament to the storytelling prowess of the game. In summary, Ace Attorney - Justice for All doesn't just maintain the quality of its predecessor; it raises the stakes with new cases that weave an intricate narrative. Each case is like a legal puzzle, and as Phoenix, you're the one putting the pieces together. If you enjoyed the first game's mix of storytelling and courtroom drama, this sequel delivers more of the objection-raising goodness you crave. »
« Phoenix Wright 2 is definitely inferior to the first in every way. It does its job as a bridge between the series, but as a game, the quality of the episodes is disappointing. »
