Awesome title. Love everything about it. The horse-shoe action is fast and furious. Chaser lights and sound effects really get you going.
I've read reviews where people bag the sounds but I can tell those that haven't played, when those thumps speed up and you know you have a target or two to max out your bonus or there is a special you're trying to hit, they sure get the heart pumping and more times than note intimidate me in losing the ball. I love the mother ship sound to hit the right hand target. Not because it's something special but because I can see the ship on the video game and the memories at the argyle hotel with my uni mates and the jugs of beer I would win for every highscore I got. Good pub owner at the time.
I think those that don't like the sound have never played the game. The sound and chaser lights are part of the game. Imagine a sub woofer in this game ?
