I also quite enjoyed the soundtrack, which, like the original game prompted me to go in search of a copy to enjoy outside of the game long after it had ended. They’re as punchy as the neon-hued pop art, which is devilishly good at complementing the grisly deaths the students eventually succumb to. Where the visual novel segments are at times too passive and overly wordy, Class Trials are an impeccable exercise in getting the blood flowing. Variety is the spice of life, as they say, and Danganronpa 2 has it in spades.
If that isn’t enough variety, there’s even a snowboarding minigame that requires you to answer questions that relate evidence to the current trial at hand.
There’s also a new segment known as the Rebuttal Showdown, which finds you “slashing” down arguments left and right - literally. The minigames have been overhauled from the last game, however, and they seem closer to puzzles than games of skill this time around. Finding enough clues eventually leads to a Class Trial, a set of fast-paced mini-games that put your skills to the test.Įach mode of play in a Class Trial is a rapid-fire battle of wits as you point out relevant evidence to each character’s testimony, “shoot down” letters to reveal clues, debate against other students in a rhythm game of sorts, and build comic strips depicting what you believe to have gone down in each case.
This perspective gives the game a bit of a claustrophobic feel, emphasizing the hopeless mood that permeates the academy walls as you gather important evidence and testimonies against a possible culprit in a murder case. The first of these you encounter are Phoenix Wright-esque segments where you explore crime scenes in a first-person point of view.
