It’s not much to look at in my opinion……
But damn is it a fun game!
I have the privilege of running the pinball palace w my dad in Brunswick ga
There are roughly 50-60 machines that fit in our front most 2 rooms and, as I am working and have to stay
Within sight of our check in counter, these are the games I wind up spending the most time with out of our near (rapidly approaching) 200 total machines….. and I admit it’s not the most enticing or exciting game flanked by all the Latest Stern Jjp LEs and top B/Ws golden age classics…..
BUT DAMN IS IT FUN!! The replayability is thru the roof we have had this game since we were still in the garage tinkering w our 20ish machine collection when we got this game almost 10 years ago and I still play it regularly to this day. It’s one of the select few that I always find myself coming back to after whatever the newest hotness has become stale. For me it nearly rivals MM & AFM in that aspect. Not the art. Not the slapdash afterthought-edness of the theming, albeit well executed… nothing about it Screams sopranos in function. Could have just as easily been a JAWS, or “Journey” or [insert whatever art packaging u like] game.
WHAT DOES keep u coming back, are the extremely well designed rules and TIMELESS layout of the PF both in perfect cahoots w each other. Add to it one of the easiest to identify (difficult to execute) objectives and progressions toward the wizard modes and MWWWWAAHHH! Will absolutely hold its own with the best of em on the test of time!!

Only so much you can do with a theme like the Sopranos.
Pros:
-The yacht holding the multi ball
-Safe bashing
Negatives:
-Everything is just blah on the field and nothing really stands out here

Such a fun game. Visitors always seem to gravitate to 'sopranos'. I really think this is a very underrated game. Lots of shots, fantastic call outs and the objective of working your way from soldier to boss is easy to understand and very satisfying and their are plenty of other objectives too. Great flow. They guy I bought mine from has been trying to buy it back ha ha ha. This one is a keeper for sure.

The game is simple, easy, has a good layout, two ramps and several lanes, it would have been great if it had a mezzanine like Elvis for example, the game uses profanity and I love it although I wish there was an update on profanity to change them more often ...... the fish is nice but besides moving its mouth it does nothing and that shot is easy, they had to put a ramp on it and make the fish spit the ball ......
I will still keep this game, I like playing it with friends playing a few games between a beer and a laugh
I find it should be rated more , it doesn't deserve to be in place 138 , I would definitely put it in the top 100

Since the first season, I've always been a fan of The Sopranos. When I learned that a Sopranos pinball had been made, I immediately wanted to own one, even without trying it first. It was the first pinball I purchased, and I can assure you I wasn't disappointed.
While not the greatest masterpiece I've seen, I appreciate its overall look, fitting well with the theme. The gameplay isn't too complicated, and the shots are enjoyable. The integration of sounds, music, and voices is superb and very faithful to the theme.
For me, like the TV series, it's a classic! I still struggle to understand why it's rated so low in the listings, but oh well.

I am a huge Sopranos fan and maybe my expectations were too high for this machine. But I feel they could have done so much more on so many levels. The game play is choppy. The call outs are too repetitive. Just was disappointed playing this machine.

A pretty basic and unimaginative design. Some of the biggest most prominent playfield lights simply say “food”, oh boy.
Somewhat fits the theme generically. I wish it was better considering the theme.

If there’s a mathematical average pinball game, it’s this one. Mediocre theme implementation, mediocre flow, mediocre callouts.
Nothing on this game is bad, but nothing on it rises above feeling phoned in. I cannot say I enjoyed it.

This game is pretty underrated in my opinion. The rules are fairly deep and there is plenty to do. The layout is pretty good too. Nothing too special, but worked for what it is. The game falls apart a bit with the art and theming which are subpar at best. The game itself is really good but the art, theme, callouts, and music are just meh and bland. I still enjoy playing it and I think it's a great bang for your buck pin.
