This is the second Phoenix Wright adventure for the Nintendo DS. Phoenix is back, slightly less wet behind the ears, with four more murder cases to solve (and get his clients off the hook!). There are blasts from the past as other characters from the first game reappear, sometimes in strikingly different guises!

There are a few new twists, such as the development of Phoenix's powers to sense (and spot visual clues!) as to when witnesses are not being entirely 100% upfront. However, it's basically a very similar set-up to the first Phoenix Wright game.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, as it is a pretty good formula - with a winning combination of tricky and implausible mysteries and characters, evidence-gathering and witness-baiting. And it's always fun when you get to raise an "Objection!" - though as before, occasionally the logic of exactly when you will be successful and when it edges your client closer to a guilty verdict is a little mysterious.
