I'm adding Phoenix Wright to my list of "DS Game Flaws"

It is the best DS game I've played, but it could've easily been left on the GBA. The first four chapters work fine without the touch screen (I didn't use it once on the third and fourth chapters. When I used it on the first two, it was for the sake of using it. And as much as I wanted to do it, I didn't want anybody hearing me yell "OBJECTION!"), and the fifth chapter has no reason to exist. For those who don't know the story, over in Japan this is a GBA game with only the first four chapters. When Capcom brought it to America, they put it on the DS and added a fifth chapter with features that use the touch screen. It feels like it was taken from another game (I wouldn't be surprised if it was), and even though I haven't finished it yet I'm sure I'm almost done and I haven't seen any touch screen uses that couldn't have been done with the control pad (the only thing I haven't seen yet is dusting for fingerprints with probably couldn't be done well with a control pad. But why include it anyway?) This loser chapter should have been left out (and it could have been without any damage to the story of the other four... in fact, I think including the fifth chapter hurts the story) and the game left on the GBA.

Admittedly, it is nice to have what somebody said on screen while you're looking through the Court Record, without having to back out to remember what you were looking for something about. So, like Castlevania, this game uses the dual screens rather than the touch screen.

Another nice thing about chapter 5 is up until now the only character I hated was von Karma, who you were supposed to hate. Actually, the same could be said of Red White, though he was never to the point of flipping him off or cursing at him. And at least he showed some sense of humanity at the end of the trial. A few characters were kind of irritating, but they had a plot reason for being that way, and in the end none of them were really bad people. But now there's characters I hate because they're unintentionally obnoxious. First there's that girl who follows you around and throws the word "scientifically" around like Wii rooters do with "innovative", and the Chief of Police who, no less than three times, has sat there smiling for ten seconds after being asked a question before answering.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!
