The Art of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Bought this for my daughter and she is extremely happy with it.Amazon delivery service was great as being a prime member I have received this the following day after placing the order

As a self-confessed Ace Attorney fangirl I had to get this. The art is a treat to look at and far more detailed than in the game. I would have liked to have seen initial character drafts in the book (I have seen them online but the book would have been so much better with them in), but you do get full page artwork of some of the more minor characters along with short descriptions. Also featured is artwork from the Apollo Justice game, which was a pleasant surprise when I received it (as I had just finished the game).If you're a fan of this series then this is worth getting as a souvenir. :)

more detail and developmental sketches though. The cover of the book however became unstuck after being use a couple times, on the same day it delivered, which is rather annoying. Still really enjoyed the book though, if you’re an ace attorney fan this is a good purchase

The book has an amazing amount of art from all three games and the Apollo series. nice little comments on each of the drawings. the only issue is the the cover has come away form the spine on the front of the book, this can be fixed with a little glue. not a big issue but worth noting

I'm a big fan of the game series and for me, it was the combination of gameplay, music, story and visuals that really grabbed me. Capcom have some great artists working for them and the art of Ace Attorney is just brilliant too. Jam-packed with all the art from the 4 Ace Attorney games (sorry, no Ace Attorney Investigations, the book's much older than that...).If you liked the art of the game series, or just like Phoenix Wright and all associated characters (like I do) then you'll love this book! :)

I've only taken it out of the box about 3 times, it's so gorgeous and one of my favourite things I've ever bought

The media could not be loaded.  If you're owned other art books published by Udon Entertainment, you'll find the construction of this book similar. This time, the cover comes with a nice texture feel. Inside, it includes art from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.In-game character art forms the bulk of the art and there are a few splash art pages. The cast of characters is huge and the variety of character design is really good. There are lots of character poses including a full body illustration. The expressions are lots of fun.The art is typical manga style but you already know that from the game. I thought the art from Apollo Justice is slightly better, the line work is more confident, quality more consistent with top manga character designers. Maybe that's what they call improvement over time.Absent from the book are the concept sketches. There are barely any, except for the few from Apollo Justice. Commentary from the designer Kuzuya Nuri can be found only on the few pages of splash art with the rest of the books with the characters just feature a single paragraph character description. As a result, the book lacks a bit of depth.I would recommend this book for the fans only.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

The Ace Attorney series on the Nintendo DS has been a favourite of mine since the arrival of the first game, up there with the Zeldas and the Super Marios of this world. The sheer range of colourful characters is one of the many reasons why I regard the series so highly. For anyone who also loves these characters, this book is a must.The cover has an embossed finish to it, with the main images and logos on the front and back being glossy; this impressed me from the very start and made me think of the time and care that has gone into the making of the book. Inside you see various full-page artwork used for promotional purposes and also images that were featured on the box and manual of the three Phoenix Wright titles. Apollo Justice fans shouldn't worry; the fourth installment (though the third to be released in Europe, oddly) is featured heavily towards the end of this 240 page book.The section on specific characters takes up the bulk of the book, and rightly so. Each and every character has at least one full page to their name, though the more major characters can have up to 6. All of the character variations are given suitable airtime too (e.g. Young Edgeworth, Mia being channelled by Maya and Pearl). Most of the characters' animations are shown here, and you can really get a feel for the expressiveness and personality of these creations. A personal favourite is Maya's angry face :)There are short descriptions for each character, and also some insight into the creation of selected pieces of artwork by the character designer Kazuya Nuri. The print quality throughout is excellent, the character designs bursting with colour and making me want to take out each page and use them as posters (this would ruin the book, unfortunately).I cannot recommend this book enough. For anyone who is interested in the Ace Attorney series, or even just character-based contemporary art, it is an excellent, beautifully-crafted read that deserves your attention.
