A fantastic followup to an already solid spinoff. The story does a great job of setting up threads over the course of the entire game and then tying them altogether, which is something only a few games in the series have done. It also brings some great elements to Edgeworth as a character.
Although every case is important, I could feel my energy waning during cases 2 and 3, and coupled with the second half being surprisingly long, this led to me taking multiple breaks from the game. Seriously, Gyakuten Kenji 2 is nearly as long as AA1 WITH Rise from the Ashes, if not longer. The lack of an option to speed up the text also hurt the experience for me a bit. Still, I think this is a great entry that many international series fans are missing, and I hope Capcom finds a way to localize it eventually.
