Quoted from rai:I'm debating a new pin to my collection or just wait until the next release cycle.
Just wanted to get some opinions on these two pins seem to have love-hate reviews.
Have played both some but not a lot.
GB rules good/bad?
Woz reliability, buying used how much can I expect to pay for light boards over the years?
Overall want Woz more but cost is a lot more than GB premium.
i own both. WOZ is the better game.
I haven't had significant issues with either one. (weird, i know)
Ghostbusters looks amazing and has some cool modes and callouts, and once you really get going, it can be very fun, but overall it is very frustrating and monotonous. Players tend to either play the video mode to death or play the right ladder ("ok, who brought the dog?") and after a while it starts to feel incredibly repetitive. you will also have a LOT of games where you get nowhere. Many players won't even start a mode. Also it's incredibly linear -- you can only work one mode at a time, and simply being in a mode even disables most side features like Tobins.
It also needs a code update and who the hell knows when and if that will happen.
WOZ is a much more varied experience. you can make progress on anything any time, and stack literally every mode. you're never locked in to one progression path. And the rules are deep enough that you will probably never feel like you "beat" it. I also feel like it's the more impressive machine mechanically and technologically.
my two cents.
