Everyone said GAA2 was better than the first, and while I agree, I still didn't find it to be as good. You wait two entire games for Stronghart to turn out to be evil, and then when it finally happens, he's barely a force in the trial at all, he gets completely trounced by Ryunosuke and is a threat exclusively because he's the judge. Same with Jigoku, who was obviously going to be evil as soon as he showed up outside of the courtroom. Didn't like Sholmes randomly inventing a hologram machine in the 1890s, either, that kind of took the wacky technology element too far, and him saving the day at the end sort of robs Ryunosuke of his victory. I also couldn't believe they did the "prosecutor is accused of murder" thing again. And for all the game talks about how Kazuma and van Zieks are genius prosecutors, they never have any big moments where they show off their genius. They just do normal prosecutor stuff and get the runaround by Ryunosuke. van Zieks is at least more fun than Kazuma, though. Also, the final two cases not having juries was a mistake. The juries were a lot of fun, and they should have shown up again, as a bunch of stuffy legal people who assume Stronghart is always telling the truth. They should have been the people cheering him on and insisting the trial move forward after he tries to stop it.

But it's still an okay game. I didn't hate it or anything, and Susato and Iris grew on me. If anything, I'd say that setting the game in a different time period was a great decision, because it finally let you escape the bloated number of characters in the main timeline.

Still haven't played PWxL, but I already know the final twist in the game, so I probably will never bother.

Main Characters: Phoenix > Edgeworth > Apollo > Ryunosuke > Gregory Edgeworth > Athena
Prosecutors: Godot > Edgeworth > Blackquill > von Karma > van Zieks > Franziska > Ga'ran > Payne/Auchi > Kazuma > Nahyuta > Klavier
Assistants: Maya > Susato > Iris > Athena > Ema > Rayfa > Kay > Trucy > Pearl
Cops: Sholmes > Gumshoe > Gregson > Ema > Gina > Fulbright > Satoru > Shi-Long Lang
Judges: Judge > Seishiro > Canadian Judge > British Judge > Ku'rain Judge
Final Bosses: Dahlia > Matt Engarde > von Karma > Gant > Fulbright > Ga'ran > Kristoph > Simon Keyes > Stronghart > Ashley Graydon > Quercus Alba

I'm aware that Sholmes doesn't technically count as a cop, and that I cut Susato's father from the playable character list even though you play as him for five seconds, and that I cut Blackquill, Grossberg, Mia, Franziska, and probably some others from the assistants list.
