I really enjoy mine. It's been on location since the launch party and is pretty well liked. Can it be frustrating? Yes, but I'm glad it's not super easy. I have mine set to 1 extra ball at 3 modes and both kickouts go to the left flipper. It plays very fair and players never get hosed by the left kickout.
I'm a fan of the right ladder, but tend to get stuck at Gozer. I try to start Storage Facility with that mode so my odds of finishing it are better. If nothing else, maybe survive for 40 seconds and it'll just time out. The bad thing there is then you have to hit Slimer to light modes again. I think that's the part that trips most players up, again, not super easy.
The video mode argument is tough to get behind. Sure, you finish it and get mid 50 million points. I'll do We Got One, finish it in 3 shots and have 21 million and go right into Spook Central and lock it in for 15.6m most of the time. I'm about to beat your best video mode score, continue rolling through valuable modes, and you now have to go to town on Slimer. If I drain, I'm trying for lighting the multipliers because I'm either in a mode of have them lit. What does a video mode player do on ball 2? It's the Little King's beginner strategy for a reason.
Have I scored 7 million on GB? Many times. Have I scored a billion+ before? Quite a few times. The scoring is hugely imbalanced, but getting a hold of the game and breaking into the billions is an amazing ride. Coming back from a certain defeat by getting into and rocking the sh!t out of Stay Puft for a last ball last player victory is an amazing feeling.
The game is exciting. It screams "TRY ME" and will beat you down from time to time, but when you hook a monster hold on for the ride!
