First off, in a little just for fans trivia silliness, here are the
stats of the case: State v. Larry Butz. August 3rd, 2016. Phoenix Wright
Record: 1-0.
Basically, it all goes down like this: Cindy Stone is found dead in her
apartment by passerby Frank Sahwit, who notices her ex-boyfriend Larry
Butz leaving the scene before he got there. Larry is arrested on charges
of second degree murder. His best friend, and our protagonist, Phoenix
Wright has just passed the bar exam and believes that Larry is innocent.
His mentor, the famous defense attorney for whom Phoenix works, Mia Fey
helps him along throughout the trial. Facing the greenhorn is Winston
Payne, a man once known as the “Rookie Killer”, but now laughed at since
he was defeated by Mia Fey more than four years previous.
The case is very good. Sahwit is a decently memorable character, it
gives you a good impression of Phoenix, Mia, and the Judge as
characters, and has some memorable dialogue. I would say it’s only flaw
is that it is by far the easiest case in the whole franchise. However,
considering it is the first and therefore the mechanics will feel new,
this doesn’t seem like much of a flaw. It definitely isn’t my favorite
beginning case of the series, but it is above average.
