The Scooby Doo of video game crime-solving is back after five years. Dual Destinies is the latest episode in the popular interactive visual-novel series and casts players as investigative attorneys Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice and new sidekick Athena Cykes on a variety of fantastical cases.

Along with a lower £19.99 price tag and download-only availability, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is visually beautiful in its first outing on the Nintendo 3DS. New psychoanalytical interactions refresh game-play and bring emotions to bear on investigations. Each of the five cases presents not only a wonderfully caricatured cast of victims and suspects but also an intricate web of clues, statements and crime scenes for players to decipher. This is another objectionless outing for Wright.
