Phoenix Wright 2, was originally released on Gameboy Advance, but, like Phoenix Wright 1, has made the jump to Nintendo DS.
The English translation in this game is very well done. It has many more puns and Internet pop culture references than Phoenix Wright one. Apart from the Judge always calling the new (female) prosecutor 'sir' the English was perfect, and much funnier than the English Version the first Phoenix Wright.
Amongst all the old faces, several new characters are added to the lineup, including, perhaps the most ferocious prosecutor yet, Franziska von Karma and Maya's adorable cousin, Pearl.
Not surprisingly, the gameplay, music and graphics are almost identical to Phoenix Wright 1. A few new elements has been added or improved on. Maya gives you her Magatama, a magical jewel that allows you to see when someone is lying. While this can not be used in a court scene, it can be used in the detective scenes between court sessions.
Also, in Phoenix Wright, you had 5 exclamation marks in the court scenes. When you made a false accusation, one of these were taken away by the judge. This has been replaced by a blue bar. Now, if you make a large error, the judge will take away a larger section of the bar. It's now more risky than ever to take guesses. Evidence is everything in courts.
These two editions make the game significantly more difficult than the first. In addition, the cases are longer, and more complex.
However, unlike the first game, there is not a new DS exclusive case. There are only the four original Game Boy Advance cases to play.
Unfortunately, there is very little replay value in this game.
