[TAS] DS Gyakuten Kenji 2 // PART ONE

Longest one so far. This game is amazing, it's basically a perfect sequel. A perfect sequel that saw what was received poorly by the fans in previous games, and did it again in new ways that makes for a much better experience. Turnabout Big Top is the case that was picked apart the most, understandably. The stage play at the prison being a mirror to the love triangle from that case was cool: Regent the Tiger (Regina) was the lady caught between two men, Astique the Elephant (Max) shaking his trunk and knocking away Simeon (Ben) to ultimately win her over. Simeon as a stand-in for Ben is great, too, with the Money the Monkey doing a bit with the hair to control Simeon's arms... like a puppet! They also redo the "flying culprit" thing. Investigations 1 did it too, but just like in Turnabout Big Top, it was a weapon concealed in a cloth. This time, the killer really did fly. Elements from Investigations 1 were also improved. "Extraterritorial Rights" are used MUCH more reasonably, the smuggling ring was presented in a more engaging way, and the international politics were also more interesting. And on top of all that, the original story and themes unique to this game are top notch as well. I honestly go back and forth on this game or Trials & Tribulations being my favorite game in the series.
