Still a fairly big split. Positives of the case include an interesting murder premise that delivers on its concept, the middle portion of the case, and two really good scenes with Lang. Most people agreed that the smuggling ring is a particularly weak overarching plot. There were many opinions on Alba, some liking that he was tough to take down, some hating how long it took, and some that were a mixture of both. It does well enough to be the top case of its game, a trend for all finale cases except AJ (assuming we count 1-5 as a DLC case like 5-6 and 6-6).

Summary:

Edgeworth is called to the scene of an attempted political assassination, and though he solves the case, he soon realizes that something much larger is already brewing...

Main Characters: Miles Edgeworth, Dick Gumshoe, Kay Faraday
Other Characters: Nicole Swift, Shelly de Killer, Winston Payne, Di-Jun Huang, Horace Knightley, Ethan Rooke

My Rating: 7/10. I've had pretty low ratings for AJ and AAI1, which I feel are easily the low points of the AA series. That won't happen for AAI2, of which I am a huge, huge fan of. E2-1 is right up there with 3-1 for amazing Case 1s. The fake assassination is interesting to get your feet wet, but of course, it really kicks in when you investigate the murder. I always liked the Logic Chess against Huang. It's kind of a dig at AAI1's long take of international diplomacy in E1-5, while also showing that Edgeworth doesn't back down for anyone. But the real star is Knightley. He's one of my favorite one-off culprits. He's got a fun design and he's a surprisingly astute and clever murderer. The revolver swap at the end is great.
