Okay,  finally got the chance to play the pro and I think it is a ball tearer game with a bit of oldskool design coming back into it.
Love the Tommy style skill shot, the multiple top lanes and 4 x bumpers, nice rubber back on in lane posts so the old nudge comes back into play, the flippers that are wider apart so you have to work at a long game, ingenuity like a 2x stage left ramp which diverts to the bowl on right or to the left lane, music is ALLWAYS a good thing in pinball( shame it isn't stereo), ball busting GEARS drop targets that jam it back at you real quick and the good design of a DMD that is finally tilted slightly back so no glare, just like Star Trek.
Bits that are bummers are the donut pit which really doesn't do donuts, the right hand loop bowl which needs to be tilted back slightly to allow a good rocking to make it swirl, left shot lane needed to be longer to give it that GOOD FEELING SHOT and finally you should able to make the music louder than the call outs as some of them are a bit naff!
All in all a bloody good fun game and should not be scoffed at if you see it on site.
Good flow and generally a good theme, although not for me. Light show can be a little over whelming at times with the flashers but bearable.
DMD animations are pretty cool.
I won't judge the cabinet as I don't play the cabinet  ()
Audio 7/10
Playfield 8/10
Fun factor solid 9
If the theme was right I think I would have owned this title. I had a lot of fun and can't see why people knock it apart from theme. If you like Mustangs or Fords in general, this pinball is a no brainer.
Will play LE very soon and see how that goes.
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.
