Love or Hate are too strong I think. I like the game a lot and think the hate for it is undeserved, much like Star Wars. Yes, it is hard but if you play it more than a couple times you start to get the hang of it just like any other game. The "world under glass" aspect is phenomenal, and the toys/ramps are unique. The code certainly could use improvement, but overall it's a solid game; a great game for competitive play.
