I think where it's rated is somewhat fair. The game definitely has certain nuances that are going to annoy the piss out of the flow flow flow guys. I think it's a great game, definitely more difficult than most. Great art work and sound effects, I think if this game ever gets the color DMD and new code people might warm up to it again. GB is one of my favorite themes of all time so it will be hanging around for awhile. I still haven't even come close to finishing all ladders. I've been able to complete two at most. It's still a fun game in my mind and I've probably got over 3k games on mine.
