I really hate to say it, but in my opinion it's overrated if anything. It's a solid game, but just about as vanilla as they come both in layout and ruleset. There just isn't anything special about it that you haven't seen before over and over in better games. It's also missing atmosphere and character, which is important to me in a game. The Cleland sound mod helps that by capturing more of the movie characters and music, but it is still literally just playing scenes in the background while you play. It never sucks you in to feel like you are a part of what is happening. Then there is my biggest pet peeve...the mid-point mini-wizard mode is a completely unthemed mode that simply plays a song that happens to be in the movie. Just zero effort whatsoever put into that one. They could have at least had the Milano flying around the screen or something, but nope...let's just put some generic cherries and bombs up there since the song is named Cherry Bomb...brilliant! Why bother with pesky theming? That's kind of an analogy for the entire game, unfortunately. I really loved mine for a few weeks, then once the honeymoon effect wore off I realized there is just nothing special about the game. Solid all around, sure, but not a keeper for me, which is a shame. I REALLY wanted to love it and have a keeper as I am a huge fan of the theme.

As always...just my opinion. I know there are many that love the game, and I am happy for them, and wish I were one of them!
