“Ok, the rules are deeper than the playfield, I'll just put it that way. Its alot of fun to play. I dont really understand why it gets rated sooo high tho. Pinbot has more variety on the playfield for petes sake. Still, the display makes for deeper rules and that keeps you entertained for sure. Wish it could be more physical related as opposed to display oriented...THAT experiment became a nightmare when that Star Wars monster came out with a tv screen in it that did just about everything on the screen and you could hardly SEE the ball on the playfield because of it. Remember?”

“A superb open playfield gives plenty of action, the short ramps are nothing short of spectacular when your 4-ball "Total Annihilation" multiball blast through them. The games is full of fun quotes, stereotyping various nationalities in a fun way. Reaching "Attack Mars" is enough of a challenge to keep the game interesting (let alone the "Rule the Universe") but the game is easy enough for even the most novice of players to have a blast! Highly recommended, too bad the price is so steep.”
