Wizard Of OZ Pinball

[coon82]

I got the chance to play the WOZ prototype at Bumper today. It looks and sounds amazing.
Very smooth shots, fast and looks like a real solid game.

Considering some of the rules being put into it I can see this is going to be one special machine.

Purchasers will not be disappointed.

Just for the record.. can you confirm that you are not a JJP agent?  

Seriously though.. that is good to hear.. after SOOOOOOOO much speculation both good and bad, its all down to how the game represents itself.
As more info has been released its been looking better and better...

.. thanks for the feedback, this is the machine that sets the pace for JJP and its imperative that its a great game.

All sounding good for pinball so far.

More importantly, did you "commit to buy" in order to play the damn thing?

The cackling witch at the end of the game echoes through the whole building

I'll try to answer everyones queries :

Firstly I am not an agent  but I am a purchaser of WOZ, which is why I got the chance to play the prototype. The quality is amazing and the glossy finish with the LEDs look great. Plus there are so many targets and toys. It is pimped!

Because it is a prototype you have to use your imagination for some things as the LCD and the toys are not fully integrated. There's only one song and none of the rules keith is working on are not in the game as of yet.

We've heard for many months this game is not for everyone (nothing wrong with that), but when you see it even if the theme doesn't suit your taste there will be things that will really stand out. I think you'll find there will be a lot less 'haters' out there in time.

The machine is a huge step forward and does not compare with current pinball releases. I think it will be a game changer for the industry! As others have said previously the code will be the maker of this game, but if I go from what I saw and experienced their won't be shortcuts on the coding.

Guys, this is all only my opinion from what I saw and experienced, but hopefully as others get to play it (hopefully in a more complete form), you might share that opinion also.

Great feedback.

Its going to be special there is no doubt. First widebody since 1995. That alone is extremely unique and Jack has done pinball a great service for
re-introducing the widebody.

a fairly new video (I think), link sent to me by pingame journal

The witch on the broomstick at the end is cool, flying around and writing GAME OVER with her smoke from the broomstick.

The game reminds me alot of how a widebody Indianna Jones plays...u have to really place your shots correctly to get up to the top playfield to get the most out of the game otherwise u just keep bouncing around the bottom two thirds of the playfield...

I think this widebody is like alot of widebodys, it makes u think, it makes u follow the prompts, u get the best out of it by trying to achieve/defeat each mode by thinking about and placing your shots....that makes it interesting if u like a longer thinking style of game...heaps of different sounds...and its not even finished yet, so it is going to get better n better as time passes...still cant stand the red shoe flippers - yuk...got to think of something else to replace those...maybe emerald greeen flipper bats with yellow rubbers ??  

$7,000 pricing in the USA for a std WOZ is so much cheaper....what can u do...

[Freiherr]

Play appeared slow and monotonous, maybe because it is a wide body. The theme is not my cup of tea but the candy and level of detail are sure to please. Quality looks A1. LED and crystal ball look a bit dull but maybe in real life they are better. LED would be good for watchers but the player would not gaze at for long.

Maybe.... i think it was the player, his timing of the ball onto the flippers was plain crap

totall agree....if u are going to show off a machine and all its features, get someone who can play really well who can make the different shots to get to the different playfields etc......not to mention trap the ball, n pass between flippers n a few of the basics...that would have helped alot...

ACDC rocks, and your opinion matters.
