Quoted from Rarehero:

GB is the worst game ever made.
GOTG is an OK game with horrible voices.
Get neither. Better games exist.

I agree with @rarehero. Guardians is a very "flat" experience, even with the great work Cleland did w/sound. GB should be the best game ever made with movie assets, a packed Playfield, and awesome theme. But gameplay-wise it's poor.

Quoted from freddy:

Maybe when you owned it!
New code is great !

I think the code is better - for example when we played it last year all the time in league, there were huge exploits - but the design has issues.

Every time I step up to GB at the local arcade now, I really really REALLY want to like it. There's just so many cheap, drains it kills the experience.

Quoted from jawjaw:

For starters, right ramp is prime example of terrible design. Ball goes up, looses momentum, and then drops down like a failed shot on pro. On premium, right ramp is very tight and very difficult. Neither is fun to shoot imo. Inlanes guides badly designed and ball often jumps right over straight to outlanes with no chance of nudging. Pop up targets causes a lot of drains on premium and block shots. The slimer rarely worked right on games I played. More of a opinion but some shots just feel difficult to hit when they shouldn't. Flipper adjustment seems to be very important. I really enjoyed playing GB when it first came out. Love the theme, art, and world under glass. However, the more I played it the more I disliked it. You spend all your time battling the flaws of the game without much reward other than keeping ball alive a few minutes longer. Final nail in coffin was when they put in that random jump scare, scream animation. Maybe there is a good game hiding in there somewhere but done looking.

It's hard to argue w/any of this. Key line:

"You spend all your time battling the flaws of the game without much reward other than keeping ball alive a few minutes longer."
