The first AA game is one that requires patience. The first case does its job and nothing more. The second case feels rushed and ridiculous, as if it were supposed to be something much more. The third case is fun, but its conclusion leaves a lot to be desired.

It's almost always the finale which makes an AA game. If you can make it through the warm-up zone, you'll get that here too, and thankfully you'll have the bonus case still after that. This isn't one of those situations where you have to tell somebody to "skip the first game", but you do have to go in with some patience and ride it out a bit.
