    Quoted from sevenrites:

    Completely agree... Never leaving my collection. It's a beauty. Your list of reasons why is also spot on.
    In addition to what you've listed, there's also the shaker motor, excellent music soundtrack that changes with each mode and progresses as you advance from jackpot through double jackpot and into monster jackpot, it sounds phenomenal with a powered subwoofer, there's hilarious callouts, a blacklight reactive play field, the 180 upside down loop ramp you can shoot 1/2 way around to get a trickshot to land in the other wireform & more.

    It's not a bad game at all and I love the art and the odd layout... but I grew tired of it once I mastered the shots, along with multiball. It took me many months of tweaking the game to make it play perfect. Once it did play perfect, I was able to completely destroy it over and over again. I installed the new code and my scores were even higher. Traveled through the wizard mode a few times, almost completed all the modes twice in one game. The call outs were not amusing after playing the game a few hundred times and I rarely went back to it, once I decided that I had accomplished all that the game had to offer.

    Again, those are just my opinions, after owning the game for ~5 years. However, I don't feel the same way about EATPM or Dredd, after playing them 100's of times. Yes, my opinion on how good those games are has changed as well, over time. But it really says a lot about the design of the game and the small things in a game that are overlooked when you are gathering your initial impressions of a game. Shot design, humor, reliability, dots, music, they all shake out better, over time. The fun factor and your opinion of any given machine changes, after a few 100 plays, not matter the title.
