High on nostalgia, short on realism

I loved this game as a kid (did anyone have the "ring on the dolphin nose" one?). I am thrilled to have this one, and I love how longer button presses equal to harder presses on the physical game. But, it lacks a bit of realism. The mechanism for pushing the buttons and the ball motion is completely predictable and repeatable. Within a couple of minutes I had more than 1000 points in free play mode. The magic (and frustration) of the original was the randomness and the chaos. If you pushed the buttons too fast, they didnt "recharge" with air, and wouldnt do anything. And, similar presses often produced different results. With some more realism, Id give this five stars. As it is, its such a great trip down memory lane that Im not looking on eBay to find the old games for my four year old for Christmas this year...
