Great game, but the ratings are skewed by a lot of unrealistic 10.0 or 9.90 scores. I generally trust only a few reviewer's opinions, and they have written hundreds of reviews. Their reviews are generally higher than MM, so perhaps the hype is real after all. I'd like to get my hands on one before reviewing myself. Out of principle, I don't see myself ever giving any machine a 10.0. I mean, how big a Blue Oyster Cult fan must you be to want to hear the Godzilla song every single time you take the tower down? Is it fun watching all those balls drop SDTM when you do? Do you really like replacing the bridge plastics that crack due to loose tolerances? No 10.0 game should come with that kind of baggage.

Not sure I'm a troll, but there are some negative aspects to the game.
1) The bridge is poorly engineered and many have had issues with excessive wear very early on.
2) The tower has a tendency to drop balls SDTM.
3) Not everyone likes Blue Oyster Cult.
Fanboys and resellers have given a lot of phony 10.0 ratings to this game, but I'm of the mind that no game is 100% perfect. Despite these flaws, I could see how some people would still consider this #1. All the modern games are so much deeper than the superpins of the 90's, and yet its that nostalgia that makes me favor them over Godzilla.
