Re: AC/DC Premium / LE hits No:1 position on pin side

Well, the Tron LE/Pro saga has corrected itself with the benefit of a few more votes, so ACDC will do the same over time (which is probably a bit on the harsh side as it stands right now).

After having extensive game time on the ACDC Premium it is definitely one of Sterns better pins, no doubt about it. As it is, the Premium/LE would right now sit in the Top 30 for me (with the Pro sitting MUCH lower as they are essentially a totally different playing experience).

If/when the code is completed it should break top 20 easily (probably peaking in the low teens) but for that reason it is a bit silly for it to take the number 1 spot at this point in time.

The band/theme means nothing to me, as does the so called "rockin" sound (I could just buy a jukebox for the same experience). Gameplay always takes priority for me (strangely enough) and it just seems to be "not quite there" in terms of that. There is nothing really innovative in terms of interactive toys that affect gameplay that hasn't been seen before and it is almost as if there was a pre-existing generic design on file at Stern that they dug out and then decided to throw a bell on it to make it theme specific.

For pinball to grow, they need to expand into new markets (see JJP), not simply appeal to the same old, same old for the quick and easy buck.
