Quoted from zaphX:

Man. You didn't spend any time to understand the game at all.
"You bat the ball around till you qualify for a song" - No. You run the 4 multiballs and try to maximize jackpots as much as possible to go into the song with a decent song level. You also want to collect as many patches as you can to assist you during the song. And never mind the wizard modes for tour, slash, and the 4 albums...
If you're only going to look at pins at the surface level, you shouldn't buy ones with deep rulesets.

sorry but this isn't a deep rule set in my view not like JP2, GoT or AIQ. You are always heading in the one direction which is to the song mode and the game focuses too much on the song mode in my view. Why are all the booster modes have to be multi-balls? Why couldn't the booster modes be just simple modes. I think if you took the MB out of 3 of those modes the game would instantly get better. Then in the song mode you hit shots until you have to hit the scoop and its not obvious what you need to hit unless you look at the screen at the back. I liked GNR at first but I've found it to be wood-chopping heaven. Took me almost 40 minutes to get an almost 100M score and honestly big chunks of it I don't know how I got the score. Its a good game just not anywhere near the hype it has received. Once I got that score I just didn't want to play it again. JJP take the wood chopping out please!

I also have the playfield problem and so far the JJP response has been farcical. I feel for the distributors who have to take it in the gut from their customers whilst JJP has GNR playing too loud in their office to even hear their customers and make them good. Last JJP I buy. Stern has resolved issues for me every time and in my view stand by their customers much more than JJP.

I knew when I ordered the game that JJP hadn't fixed this problem and I would likely get hosed by them - despite contrary propaganda from them and their piss poor suppliers; so I'm not crazy pissed off but if I'd got a CE it would be going back to my supplier for a refund. For reasons I struggle to understand JJP have a perception of high quality and standing by their customers, sadly now owned 2 JJP games the reality is poor quality and they don't give a toss about their customers.

Neil.
