UPDATE - more plays today on Avengers.
I went back to Timezone n played the Avegers Pro a few more times incl today. I think i have visited the place apx 4 times now to get a good feel for the Avengers Pro machine.

I will say that the machine doesnt flow the same way/style that AC/DC or X Men does, but George Gomez's style is such that he sections his pinball playfields off in such a way that not all areas flow into the next area etc. I think he makes his playfields this way meaningly due to the style of straight shots he creates. His style seems to be more a triangular style/flow of shots versus John Borgs roundness if u get my drift. Its hard to explain til u have played the game alot.

Its almost like he has designed the game/playfield so that u can shoot n concentrate on a certain area and easily stay in that area, or shoot to get back in that area again n again, versus being sent out/let out of that area easily by that section just sending u off to another. Its like u can shoot whatever area u want to, over n over again, and strategically stay focused on that area til u have mined it repeatedly to get all your objectives before u then chose to shoot n move on to another area. This style/design of playfield means u can concentrate on the areas u want to by aiming/playing your shots well. Its a great way actually to get the most out of the objectives n point scoring the way he has done this.

The only casualty along the way is the rollover lanes in the top corner being a little hard to see, and the bottom inside rollover lit inserts being almost impossible to see but i expect the bottom inner rollovers to be fixed by the time full production starts with clear parts to those specific plastics.

This machine is fun, and different, and I like the way it is very different. I think people who like a strategic pinball game will like this pinny cause he has set it up in a way that playing strategically rewards you the most. Rather than playing with the game like X Men, Avengers Pro makes u feel u are battling against it which is the whole idea of the battle feel i think Stern/Marvel and the designer wanted.

A good solid fun strategic pinball that will reward u for hours with heaps of missions n modes.
