I think it's how the cases are written that makes a lot of them feel too long to me. Like, they take the same amount of content and twists that the earlier games had, and stretch them into cases that are twice as long. That length doesn't feel earned. AA5 feels like a bit of a sweet spot between the two, where the cases aren't as long as AA6/AAI2, but they're still longer than the earlier games, and most of that time is used well (though not all of it, of course).

The exception is 6-5: it's the longest case in the series (I think?) but that length is used extremely effectively. Of course, that's partly because it cheats by being two cases in one, while the other games have epic cases split in two instead, but still. 6-5 does go on a bit too long at the end, but not in the sense that it's paced poorly, just that the last 30-60 minutes aren't as good as the rest.
