OK - my thoughts on the game.
I only had 3 or 4 full games on it - and had a few BLINDING balls somehow.
Quality of the top PF parts appears ( as already said many times ) - excellent.
The LCD is large BUT nowhere near as large as it looks ( to me ) in the Youtube vids I had already seen.
Image quality of the display/ movies is absolutely excellent - clear.
However -like most pinball games you rarely get to look up at the ( in the case of WOZ ) 4 split screens when playing a ball.
I did get to watch the animations/ movies when I locked the balls and started multiball etc - very neat.
The game plays FAST on the lower part of the playfield - that scores highly with me.
The game appears to have limited decent shots however.
2 up the centre - which everyone found themselves going for over and over again.
The orbit- nice.
But all the other shots like the RAINBOW targets , side holes and witch just seemed to 'take care of themselves'
The two upper playfields, each having one flipper just felt AWKWARD , thats the best word I can think of - especially the left side where you have to open the doors.
The spinning house shot - I made once - didnt seem too exciting.
The flying monkey wasnt exciting and I did manage to get it once - i just took the ball to the upper playfield on the left where you had the awkward flipper thing start.
The State Fair on the lower left is an absolute waste of time , apart from location games as apparently it will give a free game if you get all targets in one ball - other than that I found it completely useless.
The Flipper Slippers are a travesty of the game of pinball
The audio was quite OK and nowhere near as bad as it sounds in the videos.
The game ( I truly truly hope ) is a LONG LONG LONG way from being finalised in regards to code as it just doesnt do 'much' at all
So there you go - a mixed review.
Did I like it - not much
Was it "OK' to play - for sure , and not as annoying as I had imagined.
Did it break down MANY times throughout the night - YEP ( and THATS what concerns me with everyone saying 'oh JJP games will be of the highest standard etc )
Both electrical and physical ( ball went and wedged itself under the left slingshot and stayed there )
Would I play it again many times - definitely
Would I own one - NOPE.
Did I only base this opinion on 3 or 4 games and watching a handful of others play - yes - but that was a decent eye opener.
