Had a chance to play a premium and gave it a good amount of game time. Conclusion, I would never own one, would walk passed one in the wild or at a meet, code is just plain shit.
Just flip for flip sake, no real strategy or just fun factor. Stern need to re code this boat anchor or convert these as wall hangings

Fair assessment. Stern really stuffed up BIGTIME on this title, and out of the 6 pinheads / KISS fans that I know bought the LE, I'm the only owner still hanging in there.
For the stern fans that defend Stern no matter what, one of my favorite designers is John Trudeau, one of my favorite movies is Ghostbusters, and Aerosmith would be a cool game to own (even though is RIPPED OFF Kiss on so many levels). Star Wars is a classic title and Iron Maiden is one of my all time favorite bands. I would not consider ANY of these titles due to the exceptionally PATHETIC support by Stern.
I have come to accept that my KISS LE is an ornament. Currently used to store paperwork on the playfield glass and old DVDs underneath it. Not played for MONTHS.
Devalued as it is a Stern. !*!

Have to agree re Kiss and dunno about other titles, but I have had no reservations with gb. Cannot comment on Stern support, but AMD have been great to me. That's why a metallica is waiting for me. Hopefully I don't get bitten, but am confident met will be ok seeing coding is complete or close to. Now Kiss is just down right a mess. Why is that?? Everyone I know who have owned one have sold or in the case of the other day, the owner warned me I'd be disappointed.
Btw I nearly bought one over gb but luckily you and others talked me out of it. Thanks big time.
But it would be funny if 10 years down the track and some major code updates, this title became a classic %.%

I got a kiss pro 5 weeks ago. I sold kiss pro 4weeks ago. Quickest pin in and out for me. In fairness it was replaced with a TZ but I didn't regret moving it at all.
-
One of the main issues I think is it is not obvious what you need to do! The game does not really tell you.
Still like the the flow on this game, think it is a great shooter.
Personally not a game for me but I found this video helped me understand it better. Give it a look!

Quickest new game I've ever owned and sold - then the guy that bought it off me sold it in record time lol. Such a shame as it's the theme I always wanted. New code won't fix the layout anyway.

yes surprised me too seeing you're a big kiss fan. When I heard of the sale I knew there must be a problem with the title

I like it since the new code. The song multipliers and the PF multiplier all the way up to 10X make this game interesting for me. We have one at work but I haven't had any time to really get into it.

Yeah real shame Rob for me as I always wanted Stern to do KISS and they screwed it up unfortunately. Luckily I bought a demo so didn't loose much

Layout is really good. It has some really good shots. Aerosmith is basically the exact same layout.
It just needs code - 18 months since delivery and it still is not finished. I've had ONE game since December. Would never buy or recommend a late model Stern based on this business model.

Mainly bug fixes.

at least they are working on it

No real noticeable improvement. Still needs a proper update.
I had forgotten how much fun the game actually is, so I'm appreciating the game a little more as it is. I does need some polish and I'm sure it will stay in the collection once that eventuates.
-
If anyone knows of a cheap KISS Pro for sale, let me know. Call me crazy. haha.

Stern are working on the final code update for Kiss. Mentioned at Expo.

Looking forward to it. I've been waiting a long time ! I've heard that the update is significant to the point that owners that sold theirs will be scrambling to find Premiums. The update is supposed to be "that good".

Hope so this title deserves it :)

they is one more code update coming soon as well

I had a few games over the weekend after watching some more interesting play strategies on Youtube. The ruleset is different from what I'm used to, so I revisited the game on its current code, and started to enjoy it more. The flow on the orbit shots and both ramps are cool on this game. Even though the next update is around the corner, I'm glad I kept mine.

The first major update - not the recent one as it was just a bugfix and an extra song, that was not recorded by the original 4, so it did not suit my taste. Still enjoying it. Playing it today.
