Many who don't own it bitch about it - not sure why, but likely due to high price... In my opinion, best game of all time - terrific art, great layout, awesome sound/speech, easy enough for anyone to enjoy yet challenging enough to keep you interested long term. It is the only game that I've consistently owned since I started collecting.
At the end of the day though, everyone has different likes and dislikes, so play it and decide for yourself. Despite the price, if you end up not liking it, you can get your money back no problem as long as you don't overpay with a dealer. They sell quickly when they come available.
