It may not be completely linear, but still gets very boring seeing the same modes over and over in generally the same order. You don't see much of the west coast stuff very often, but ALWAYS see the east coast stuff every game. I owned it for over a year and its and awesome, awesome game. That said, after a year it just got so I didn't even want to touch it. Not too much random about it. I think at the time I had 3 games, if I had owned more like 10 games at the time probably would have held onto it. Would have looked sweet next to my Funhouse.
