JD has 5x the amount of stuff going on that T2 has. For the same price or close to, I would get a JD all day long. T2 is okay, but I like something with much more depth for a home environment.

Some much more to JD than T2 period.

T2 sucks. It is boring. Skull shot over and over. JD is 100x better game.

JD is an awesome game with a great theme and lots of modes. I loved mine when I had it. I say T2 is a good game too and it appeals to non pinheads more so than JD.

Get JD end of line

T2 is kind of a 1 trick pony, but its intensity and difficulty make it worth it.

T2, easy to learn, tough to master.

In the first month I had T2 I thought "man, this is getting old already, wtf"....but im almost a year in now and I dont think I will be getting rid of it soon. It just has a feel to it that I really dig, and it gets my blood going trying for that super jackpot.

JD is cool, but I dont think I would compare it to T2.

A few of things to consider and they are all based on my opinion.
T2 is a very fun and easy to approach pin but it is limited in depth.
JD is deeper but not as easy for a non pinhead to understand.
T2 has the nostalgia and easy game play that attracts people to it like moths to a flame.
JD is a game for pinheads and comic book nerds.
You will "finish" all of the possible shots and goals on T2 within a month if you play it regularly.
You might not "finish" all of the shots on JD by the end of the first year.
T2 - the sound is meh other than having Arnie do all of the call outs.
JD - the sound is pretty cool.

Final thoughts: If you can get past the lack of depth I think T2 is a great game to get people into pinball. It's a bunch of fun and easy to explain what to do. If your wife likes it and will play it I say keep it. If however you are the type who needs new goals to keep shooting for other than beating your own HS then JD would probably be a good trade especially if the price is close. I have a T2 and I would have a hard time letting it go but JD would be a title that would make me consider it. Good luck with your decision. Both of them are totally rad.

I have both and find T2 the more challenging game but I really enjoy the dark comedy and many modes/challenges on JD. Sorry, but that's probably no help with your decision. I don't think that I'll be getting rid of either machine any time soon.

Where is O-din when you need his opinion of JD?

Judge Dredd is only a $1400.00 pin folks!

JD. T2 gets old fast.

Judge Dredd for sure, it is a great game, T2 is Ok for a large collection but not too deep.

JD for sure. Way more toys. Had T2 and sold it in 45 days. Gets boring like others stated. Also had No fear and that one lasted 3 months. No Fear is ramps only and no pops. Really 1 trick pony. Gets boring.

T2 gets old quick, and JD sucks. JD was my shortest ownership of a pin. A few weeks after buying it I realized I just hated the game. Normally I'd give a game a bit of a cooling off period at that point to reevaluate the game, not that one. I decided on a Friday night and Saturday afternoon it was sold. I was happy to see it go.

It sold so fast because it's awesome!

Why not both?

JD all day, every day. i just had a chance at one, but a TZ within my price range came up. if that was not on the table, i would have grabbed the JD. love the theme and flow. considering the license, it's amazing it was even made.
