I've only played the Gottlieb pinball classics version for Wii. So not really a great indication. lol
You're right, i think 1500 sounds a bit rich for one of these. I guess the best idea is to play it, and if you like it and can knock the price down. Go for it.
Personally, it seems to play a little clunky for my liking. Judging by the video i just found on youtube. Older games like Firepower, Flash etc would hold my interest for a lot longer than this game.
Let us know how you go
