Quoted from usandthem:As my dad used to say, "All sizzle and no steak". Now, I'm not going to suggest that GNR is ALL sizzle, but I was certainly dazzled by the light show the first few times I played it. On subsequent visits to the arcade, I liked it less and less. Like most JJP games, it doesn't "feel" great. Shots aren't very exciting. The light show and art are second to none, yes. However, once you get beyond the razzle dazzle, shooting this pin is average.
Play some Wonka... I agree with your general thoughts here but Wonka has great shots and the "feel" is excellent.
As does Dialed In which is why I hope they get Pat Lawlor on another one.
Its amusing that the two JJPs the got the most shit for not enough bling and theme are the best players by a long shot.
