Anyway, this was a good game. Mostly better than DR1.

The mini-games slightly improved overall. Non-stop debate is more interesting thanks to the agreement mechanic. Hangman's gambit sucks but not anymore than the first one. Logic Dive is not amazing but it's fun enough. The comic book one got better. Rebuttal Showdown is decent-ish most of the time, though it can become terrible if the player fails to upgrade their sharpness. BTB got much worse. It's very hard to hit those buttons, and I just spammed Fever Time all the time. Maybe we'll have a game with functional gameplay by V5 or something.

The cast is overall better. The bad characters are much better than DR1's bad characters, the middle ones are somewhat better than DR1's middle, the top ones are on the same level. But this game kills the top ones before the ending, so the endgame cast is one step or two worse than DR1's.

The plot is more outlandish but it's well written. I'm not sure what I prefer. DR1 has a little more simplicity so its more elegant, DR2 had a few moments where it could have jumped the shark, but it didn't.

The cases follow the same pattern, they are more ambitious which makes them a little more illogical, but they work in the end. I guess a ranking would be something like 2-5 > 1-4 > 1-5/6 > 2-2 > 1-2 > 2-4 > 2-1 > 1-1 > 2-3 > 1-3.
