I have to agree with all of the positive reviews on this game, it is a blast! I,like many others had zero interest in this game when it first was announced. After getting some time on it at league I decided to get one and I have to say I couldn't be more surprised. From the initial live streams I thought the animations looked cheesy, and I am not a fan of the band either so I just didn't give it a thought. Seeing the whole thing in person changed everything. The animations are fun and bright, the art is amazing and the music is not terrible so it all ends up working as others have said.
The rules are not crazy deep from what I can tell but I like that about this game. Sometimes with deep rules I get that chopping wood feel. This game is like candy, just jump in and have some fun! The 6 ball multiball is crazy fun and I love that you can relock them into the toy box during multiball. This gets some of the balls out of your way but still allows you to score with the bonus of all 6 balls. It's really a simple risk vs reward rule that just adds to the games fun factor.
If you are on the fence or can't believe the hype I suggest finding one to play. It's surely not for everyone, but it blew me away and I had no expectations to like it. At this stage i would say it is more fun than Metallica, and Ghostbusters which I own both of. Enjoy! Great job Stern!
