Struck by amnesia and then faced with an icy rival, the lawyer must shatter the psyche-locks buried deep in people's hearts. The cases grow darker, the stakes more intimate, without losing any of the biting humour. This graver sequel deepens its characters with a finesse that leaves a lasting mark.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Is Gyakuten Saiban 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to Capcom's courtroom game known in the West as Phoenix Wright - Justice for All, Gyakuten Saiban 2 extends the lawyer's investigations and pleadings across four twisty cases. The brilliant writing, the memorable characters and the mechanic of flushing out contradictions in court remain a peak of narrative gaming. The Japanese version demands command of the language, but the writing quality fully justifies it. For a fan of text adventure, an Ace Attorney fan or someone curious about the genre, the title keeps an intelligence and an investigation pleasure intact.
