Lost Judgment

Lost Judgment improves on almost every aspect of the first game and goes even further. Delivering a deeply profound narrative teeming with optional content and superb boss fights with a soundtrack that is ear-candy. Lost Judgment starts strong and finishes with a bang, leaving a feeling of uncertainty of what justice actually means.

Lost Judgment throws just about everything it can into its world without feeling over-saturated. With the main story, side quests, school stories, mini-games, exploration and other distractions, it's hard not to be impressed with what's on display. There's still an element of hand holding in the detective sections we'd love to see worked on and the lip-syncing may not be the best, but the team's first attempt at delivering a simultaneous worldwide release for the series is a gamble that has paid off and perhaps offers the best entry in the franchise so far.

By building on the first game's strengths and taking confident steps forward in some key areas, Lost Judgment delivers an arresting and captivating experience that surpasses its predecessor in every way possible.
