I owned the game since they first shipped and just sold it.

- Beautiful game to look at, just stunning
- Great theme and art package
- LCD screen is incredible and ties in well with the theme and gameplay feedback
- Modes are plenty and fun to play, but easy
- Progression on each of the 3 tiers is easy to complete
- Layout is way to open and simple (this is my #1 issue with the game)
- I find the game very easy, with long ball times
- Multi-balls are very easy to achieve and can go on for a long time
- Drop targets are so loud and can get annoying clicking and clacking
- Smaug toy is a let down
- And ……………………..It’s heavy as *&#%

I really gave the game a chance, but in a home environment I need something harder and more compelling to master. If I had ultimate room I would keep it, but with a max of about 12 games I need to be more selective. Ghostbusters prem is replacing it.

Quoted from BillySastard:

I love mine, but I'm thinking of selling. The game times are just too damn long. If I play I have to make sure I have 45 minutes free in case I have a good game. Mine hasn't been powered on in a couple of weeks because of this.

Yep, this and the layout are what finally drove me to move the game. I had the same issue where I would have a 30+ min game and not play it again for weeks. I think harder games just work better for a home environment since they keep ya coming back. Man I do miss my BSD some days!
