AJ:AA Countdown: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Case 1-1

Okay, yeah I didn't post since 2006 but anyway, this time I'll use the blog for the Court Records Apollo Justice Countdown, I go by the name of Samus Wright in the forums, just so you know. I just finished Case 1 of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney so I'll post up comments for it, It will be a once per day/case update, so here it goes!

Case 1-1
Defendant: Mr.Larry Butz
Charge: Murder
Victim: Ms. Cindy Stone
Witness: Mr. Frank Sahwit
Defense: Mr. Phoenix Wright, Mia Fey(Defense Aid)
Prosecution: Mr. Winston Payne

So here we go again, It didn't take a lot of time to finish it but I still remember the first time I played it. In this case, your friend Larry Butz is charged for murder of his (ex) girlfriend. Of course , you as the player knows perfectly it's not him, as the game show you the real murderer at the start of the case... But the fun starts when you actually cross-examine him(Frank Sahwit). It's so entertaining to see the look on his face when you rub his lies all over is smug face by shouting "Objection!" at the top of your lung in your DS! Especially when he ends up throwing his toppee in Phoenix's face who seems REALLY annoyed. And then, while the cornered music pumps you up, you corner him and prove to everyone how pitiful and stupid he really his... and he ends up foaming at the mouth and falls uncounscious. At this point in time, you really feel like celebrating! This is the case that, after all, got me hooked on the game AND the serie so it deserve a honorable mention even if it's pretty short compared to what's coming the next case!

This case also helps you to know how the serie works in term of finding contradictions in testimonies. In this case, every contradictions are pretty much "Hey look! Over there! I'm there under the flashing arrows!" Except for the last one, where you have to prove why the clock, the murder weapon which can tell you the hour (it actually says it), is 3 hour slow on the day of the murder. At first glance , you can't really prove that, it's impossible... HOWEVER, this is where your boss, Mia Fey, will say it to you: "Think outside of the box! Don't doubt the fact ! Just assume the clock was 3 hours slow and think through it!" Which mean, you know already that your client is innocent! So don't think "How can I prove it was 3 hours slow?" The real question is "WHY was it 3 hours slow?" And then you can easily find the answer to your previous question! This is how you'll be able to progress through the cases, with this simple sentence
"Think outside of the box!"
Which makes the cases all the more goofy and fun as hell!!!

Stay tuned as tomorrow I review the second case, which is the REAL start of all the mess that will go on after!
