GB came at a time when enthusiasts were screaming for a different layout, they got it and then the shot complaints started rolling in.

If you think GB is a diamond then your probably kidding yourself a little as its not there yet but it is a brilliant linear style game with probably the most gear on it and innovation that stern has brought out in a while. Like avengers it needs tweaking but then is a scream to play... always something going on. Not to mention the beautiful art package and immersive world your given under glass here. definitely this is a premium purchase... pro is just too stripped and changed.

If you think it is a dud.... well you just need to PLAY BETTER!!! as it isn't an easy game... quite frustrating but also very rewarding when you string some shots together with those multipliers going.

Quoted from Eskaybee:

Unfortunately, the designer was too busy looking at other things on his computer other than re-fining the GB design. Awesome theme, outstanding art package, great sound; but lackluster design and a software package that is drowning with no life preservers in site puts this in the dud dept for me.

I can see your point but dialed in almost every shot is smooth... you just have to hit it smoothly. The black widow ramp for example also shoots like a pig unless it gets a good dial in then it's one of the best shots in pinball.
The geometry on this game works... it's just different.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Literally the worst game ever made. It’s an anti-fun garbage box from
the depths of hell, designed by a deplorable pedophile...and if that wasn’t bad enough, boring rules that make no sense for this design are attached. Most players who’ve played almost any other game in existence knows what hot trash this thing is...it’s uterly shocking that anyone is still going to bat for it. This game created some dimensional rift in the pinball space time continuum....there must be an alternate universe where there’s an actual good GB game, and that’s why there are such starkly different opinions about it. I’m from the Shitty GB dimension, if you haven’t noticed. Maybe this alleged good GB game was designed by someone else and coded by Lyman
