    Quoted from gdonovan:

    You are more likely to get an honest opinion from someone who doesn't own the game.
    They have no "skin in the game" so to speak. A guy that just spent $7500-$10,000 isn't going to be that honest any more than someone is going to badmouth the new girlfriend or new car.
    My ex was great, at first. Now she is my ex. for good reason. The signs were there and I ignored them or was unwilling to admit them.
    Page through the reviews and look for trends is the best advice I could give you.

    If you never owned the game then chances are you’re going to rate the game on your first impression, and that’s usually a shallow one. Once you buy a game and really play the heck out of it then the rating will be much deeper and you’ll get to hear about the details. I think a lot of games get bad ratings because they were played on location. A lot of games on location just don’t play that great(weak flippers, switch not working, lights out) and can cause false impressions.
