YEEEEEEESSS!!!
There are about 6 billion people who don't realize how mature Phoenix Wright is. The second game (Justice for All) has a case that presents a choice to the player that even the most mature of us can't handle; essentially deciding what you believe about justice entirely, and there IS no clear-cut answer.
Everyone who likes "mature" games needs to play that series. (and on that note, Hotel Dusk is pretty good too)
On the one hand, Metacritic allows people to have a quick way to base their buying instead of just getting whatever looks the shiniest. On the other hand, we are putting a lot of power into reviewers; sometimes perhaps too much, as they can pretty much decide with some altered scores which games succeed. We need to be sure we're not dismissing games just because they're below a certain score. Dead Space scored higher than Assassin's Creed, but I readily call Dead Space "Doom 4: Aliens Attacking Yet Again" whereas Assassin's Creed, while imperfect, was new and interesting. End of the line; to support your local developer, try to be looking past the Metacritic review. It's like using Wikipedia for reference; you never know.
