I like text-based games, too. But one of my all time favorite DS games is Custom Robo: Arena, which combines action and text. I can replay that game so many times. It's so fun, though not extremely challenging. I would go for the first one (Ace Attorney) because otherwise you don't have the necessary background. I've played that one. It's really fun. I want to get the next two...idk about Apollo Justice, though. However, I am interested in the one for the 3DS...looks good...-shrugs- who knows heh...the others are rated T but the one on the 3DS is M, so I'm interested to see the difference.
