Quality time with your favorite Ace Attorney

With the recent confirmation that the Japanese version of Phoenix Wright 2: Justice For All has a very good English language translation, the good folks over at Siliconera have imported the game and spent some time with it. This, obviously, causes us to want their deaths, slow and painful, as our rabid addiction to the Ace Attorney's adventures bring out the best, and worst, in us.

Jealousy aside, we're pleased to report that they've had a good time with the title. While the sequel boasts a down-sized case load (a total of 4 cases), they are said to be more complex and, with the introduction of the "Psyche-Locks," overall improved gameplay.

1. I still need to pick up the first one, I can't even find it.

2. It's a fantastic game, a great translation. On par with the first.

Vinni: Like Trauma Center, it's been reprinted and shouldn't be too rare anymore. Hit up Amazon or Wal-mart with free shipping, or check the EB Games page to see if any nearby stores got shipments.

Easily one of the best DS games.

3. I went down to Pink Godzilla and bought it the other week. It's awesome I'm only on the second case and I'm loving it

4. I beat the second case like twenty minutes ago. I must say it was probably the most satisfying case I've done in the Phoenix Wright universe thus far. At first I wasn't quite sure how I liked this game, but it's become very enjoyable. The english translation isn't terribly great however. It's not "all your base are belong to us" bad, but there are some times where you'll feel like a retarded fifth grader wrote the lines.

5. The reason that theres only 4 cases is that this is just the same thing as the GBA version released in Japan, and doesn't have any additional DS functionality like case 5 did in the original. Gyakuten Saiban 4 is being made specifically for the DS though; hopefully we'll get a translation of 3 before that is released.

Some of the things in this game tricked me up and I had to look for a small number of hints on gamefaqs. However, its a great game, case 4 specifically is awesome.
