Pacing feels a bit off throughout--the first case is at least twice as long as most tutorial cases in the series, and the final case is easily the longest case in the series that I've played (haven't gotten to Spirit of Justice or AAI 2 yet), and both of them feel like they could've been considerably shorter without losing much. Still, the change in setting and characters is exactly the shot in the arm this series needed, and the new cast is absolutely delightful. Very excited to play the sequel.
