Quoted from Goronic:It has a nice layout, perhaps a retheme to something like Rick and Morty or something not music band related?
If this game had a decent theme they would have sold 2-3X more units (its that good)....the theme blows
Quoted from CaptainNeo:Maiden.
AFM has toddler rules and an empty playfield that looks like it was pieced together with leftover parts laying around the shop. AFM is the rolling stones game of B/W.
Now thats funny!
Quoted from TheLaw:I believe he's been pretty consistent on his thoughts for years regarding this.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but clearly he's on crack 
Quoted from CaptainNeo:true that. It's been my thoughts on AFM for the past 15 years. There are about 3 other games with the exact same layout and rules as AFM. At least MM has a cool interactive toy to it. MB has some fun toys floating around as well, with the same layout. AFM has a bank that moves up and down. ZZZZZZZZZZ . But toys isn't the make or break of a game. In reality, IM doesn't have anything for toys, It's about layout and rules. Rules are actually stacked rules similar to Stargate. Has your mode based section similar to TAF. But also has a physical objective section with it's own side rules, like CV. So it's like having CV and TAF together. Which is what Stargate does, and it's brilliant.
What you describe as the games biggest flaw is what makes it so great, and why its such an incredible design. Simple rules that are easy to understand (yet challenging to achieve), great flow, incredible call outs, and very very fun....I have many great games and when newbies play my collection most of the time AFM is their favorite. New modern games have gotten out of control with their complex rule sets. My biggest grip (if I had to pick one) is the similarities between MM and AFM....
