Phoenix Wright make you think and look for the not-obvious clues to progress on your text, lots of text. Think of it as a text puzzle game :)
Hotel Dusk is good but I think it's a bit overrated. It's got a good story. It's more like reading a novel than playing a puzzle/adventure game. It's great if you just want to sit back, relax and enjoy a... novel. It does get compared to Trace Memory often. However, Trace Memory has a lot more puzzle and less story. I would play Trace Memory first, then Hotel Dusk. You'll be in for a surprice with Trace Memory, with all the things you could do with your DS. But it's rather short, IMO.
