" Back in the day discovering the nuances of an arcade game was part of the journey to mastery. You learned the basics from the label on the cabinet and the brief attract mode, but you learned the elite skills through exploration and experimentation, and also by watching and learning from other gamers.
Nowadays it seems that players expect every little detail spoon-fed to them in excruciating detail by enormous great handholding tutorial modes, and even though SG does contain a tutorial mode, a couple of goes of of which should be enough to teach any reasonably sentient individual the basics of the game, it seems that some people feel that the game requires altogether too much thinking, one website describing the experience of playing as being like trying to do sudoku under slightly unusual and stressful conditions."
