Quoted from hoov:I have/had both and agree with cpiel:
"Bank-a-Ball is in the lineup now and I believe is the better player with specific objectives to complete - keeping a player coming back. It also has great flow and seems to hit the sweet spot of difficulty level for most folks. A bonus is guests can relate to the theme and know what to do intuitively"
With that said Crosstown was a fun game - slight edge to Bank a Ball.
I, too, have owned both. The BAB was my first wedgie in my collection and probably the last to leave. I like it that much. The Crosstown was traded after a year. Fun game, but I like BAB much better.
