Quoted from trilogybeer:Some people spend time rating games , others spend their time playing them . Since people's tastes vary in pinball the ratings system is almost completely useless .
Agreed. I don't understand how the ratings system works here other than some pins are more popular than others. Many of the reviews are of no help at all when trying to decide on a pin to buy. Obviously, they are subjective, and some are not well written or not very descriptive. You read many reviews that say something like: I really like this pin. It plays fast and had fast multi-ball.
But every once in awhile find find someone who writes objective reviews that help you make a decision.
