Phoenix Wright - Justice For All Introduction For those familar with the first game this would seem like the exact same game except different cases. Phoenix Wright 2 carries with it all the fundamental features of its predecessor and adds a few additonal. GAMEPLAY The gameplay remains the same. You are introduced to a short animation video of the crime [not showing sufficient detail]. You then perform either investigations followed by court trials. ADDITIONAL NEW GAMEPLAY Phoenix Wright 2 introduces a new features known as the psyche-lock. You hold a green stone whihc enables you to see thru peoples lies. If a person is lying or hiding a secret a number of chains with locks will appear. The greater the locks, the greater the secret and the more difficult it is to unveil. If you present the wrong information your health meter will be punished. This is another new feature as phoenix now has a health meter which is affected byyour performance in psyche-unlocking. This most defintly provides a greater level of difficulty as you need to determine whether or not to stop the process. The game features a number of familar characters including Maya, Gumshoe, Edgeworth, etc. Their are 4 differnt cases to solve and each will require you to solve different tasks. As always, every case is not predictable and there holds a number of interesting and entertaining twists. The humour still operates not only from Phoenix but from the various characters you encounter. DS FUNCTIONALITY Like the first edition, it also supports microphone input as players can yell 'OBJECTION' or "HOLD IT'...id advise doing this at home not on a bus lol. Touchpad functionality returns as you select various areas to investigate and perform certain tasks such as searching for electromagnetic devices. OVERALL This is a must have for any fans. If you liked the first one you will defintly like the second. Each case is addictive as the first and you wont be able to turn off your DS once you start revealling the various truths. I recommend this to anyone who like good stories. The main difficulty is knowing what to present or when to attempt the psyche-locks. 10/10
