OBJECTION! That question violates the best evidence rule!
Objection Sustained, please proceed with your next question!
....
OBJECTION! The question is vague!
Overruled, please, let the defender shut up!
Well, that's the main idea of the game, you're the defender of some guy who is accused of committing a murder. In the first level, you will have to gather points by objecting to the questions. |

What kind of objection do you state? Maybe the question is proper... Well, I couldn't get pass the first level :S so you have to check out yourself what happens after the first one, I'm sorry for this, but I'm only human, I've been told!
There could have been some more attention for the gameplay, you have a couple of buttons which you can choose from and the buttons are only stated at the start of the first level, so I made a keylist, it's with this .zip file, print it and it will be a lot easier to play this game! |

Objection! is an interesting little game by Transmedia that will test some logical skills within you that you probably didn’t know you had. After all, unless you are a trial attorney, these are skills you probably never use, making the game of Objection, a courtroom simulation, very fresh and entertaining for most modern gamers, despite its age. It is very realistic and offers a real educational opportunity for people interested in the United States legal process. As with the actual court system, Objection features tons of rules and bureaucracies that must be followed if you are going to win cases. It is a cleverly done game that is similar to First Degree.
The user will be a defense attorney in Objection as opposed to a prosecutor. Like with an actual defense attorney, the user will be trying to prove his client’s innocence of various charges, or at least diminish the punishment if innocence is far beyond proving. Part of the weapons you will use to accomplish these tasks will be knowledge of the law, and part of it…as with a stereotypical lawyer…will come from sheer wits and craftiness.
The fun begins when the prosecuting attorney begins to question your client. First you have to wait for the line of questioning to go south, and then you can object to it. You have to state the reason for your objection, badgering the witness or request to repeat rumors, for example. Questions can be argumentative or the prosecution can lead the witness with his phrasing. All of these are grounds for objections. You cannot, however, just keep on yelling “Objection!” If you do, you will be informed that the line of questioning is proper and your score will go down. You will gain more points, however, if you object for a valid reason. It is, therefore, a must that you understand the workings of the court.
There are different methods of play, each with different rules, and reflective of different sorts of court cases: civil, criminal, and ones requiring an expert witness, which are very tricky. The first two types of games are fairly self explanatory, but expert witness requires you to not only object when necessary, but to carefully analyze the testimony of someone who is considered an expert witness and is testifying for the prosecution. You will have to cross examine and try to point out flaws in the testimony to diminish the respect of the expert witness and lessen his or her impact on your client’s sentencing.
Overall, this is interesting, unique and fun. You will find it an odd but worthwhile challenge. |
