Very good game, Great story, good facial technology but sadly the ending falls short of greatness

This game is great, the cases are good, the acting is superb. It keeps you interested for a while, looking around and trying to find the bad guys. What I did notice though, was that while doing the murder cases, you had to blame one of two suspects right, but the problem was, you as a player knew that it wasn't really them. I mean I to convict 5 people for 5 murder that I knew was someone else's fault. To me that comes short for police work. I know he didn't have a choice as a character but you yourself knew the truth. And the last few cases of the game, I mean u pretty much knew what was going on. Like you could figure it out, so you were just playing so that your character could find out. Which seemed a little pointless, since all the clues were not used for any interrogation. The ending was disappointing as well, and I felt like there was not much of a twist. I felt like the game lacked a certain amount of consistency, I found it boring that the player would find out, have the story figured out and then you have to go through the motions with your character to fill in a couple of blanks. There was no real WOW moment at the end or even leading towards the end.
The game itself was a good idea, I mean the acting was amazing, and the design was suburb.
The best way to describe it is that it could have been great but it falls a little short of the greatness most people expect.
