Speaking as an artist myself, I feel that some of the these harsh armchair criticisms are uncharitable at best, ill considerered and philistine at worst.
Working within the constraints of licences and subject to approval by their holders, I'd like to see any artists (let alone untalented critics) do any better.
There have been plenty of "sucky" themes used by
all the other makers (despite having the advantage of long experience)
Remember, WOZ is very popular in the US and we are a relatively small market for them.
As a placatory for some of us, rumour has it that JJP's next title will be quite a lot ballsier?
My overall view is that JJP have bravely bucked the trend toward lacklustre machines and are pioneers of innovation.
Try having a closer look at what they have achieved so far (on Pinball News) and perhaps think again.
Basically, give JJP a "fair suck of the saveloy" is my message.
