Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit is a visual novel adventure game developed and published by Capcom. Originally released for the Nintendo DS in 2011 in Japan, this entry in the Ace Attorney series puts players in the shoes of veteran prosecutor Miles Edgeworth.

In Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit, you step into the role of Miles Edgeworth, a prosecutor known for his sharp mind and unwavering pursuit of justice. The game unfolds across multiple cases, each presenting a complex crime that requires your keen investigative skills. You'll spend time at crime scenes, examining every detail, talking to witnesses and suspects, and piecing together the initial facts before heading to the courtroom.

In the courtroom, you will cross-examine witnesses, identify contradictions in their testimony, use the 'Press' function to dig deeper, and present evidence from your investigation to expose falsehoods. A key mechanic is Logic Chess, where you must deduce the correct line of questioning to break a witness's carefully constructed alibi.

The narrative delves into Edgeworth's past and his complex relationships with other characters, weaving a compelling story across its distinct cases. You'll encounter a cast of memorable characters, each with their own secrets and motivations, making the process of uncovering the truth a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. The game's structure allows for deep dives into each mystery, focusing on the deductive reasoning required to achieve a just verdict.
