Interesting looking title and the Hulk toy is something a bit different. As always, this will come down to gameplay as to whether it is just an OK machine or something really good to great. To me the theme is fine and the art looks good enough.

I was thinking about the whole fan-boy phenomenon and what it boils down to is an attitude of uncritically accepting how good a title is simply because it was produced by one manufacturer. (I am not singling out any manufacturer or person in saying this.)

To me it is obvious that manufacturers do not always get the formula right and that some titles are better than others for various reasons, even if made by the same manufacturer. Gameplay is a big factor in this for me. In the end, pinball is a game!

I would never personally hand over money for a pinball title without having played it for a while or at a minimum have someone I know and respect tell me that the gameplay is good. Some of you have a lot more trust in manufacturers than I do if you are willing to take a gamble on an unplayed title! (Maybe you like to live on the edge, but I prefer to know what I am getting into!!)

So lets see some video of Avengers actually being played...
