I think of Judge Dredd like a easier Theatre of Magic. Instead of the trunk you have the left loop and the sniper tower. There are 3 multiball modes and the deadworld multiball is a challenge to progress through the dark judges.
The artwork and sounds are top notch, taken directly from the comic and with superb voice acting. This is pre-Stallone so no cheese here.
The background music during regular play is a little repetitive but only because it's not as catchy as some games.

This pin was blah at first, but I started to like it becuase it did have some cool game play. I am not a fan of the playfield art and lighting, honestly a symptom of the time in which it was made. This era of wide bodies is just not for me.

Dr. Flash... you have evolved quite a bit.
Pros:
- Captive balls were a good idea
- Rotating Deadworld ball lock; I felt this wasn't used too well but it's still a great toy if you buy the mod for it
- Awesome DMD animations. They flow quite well and certainly match up with the themes of the modes (if you haven't given the Judge a choking fatality or booed off the Bad Impersonator, you need to)
- Sound bytes are both epic and humorous (10 years for flatulism)
- Experienced players love this game due to how drainy it is and how fast some of the shots are - dat small loop
- Music is godly
Cons:
- The captive balls don't have much use unless you're in Meltdown mode; and even then you can hit the ? target to complete the mode instantly
- Playfield doesn't have much flow
- air raid feels like a bunch of clunky, wasted space
- Infamous Supergame mechanic; I like this but sometimes it's not too fun (that 100 million super shot is always a blast though)

Very fun game. Very fast, but way too hard. I just need to find this game again and play to the ultimate challenge.

Either you get it or you don't. I got rid of mine because i didn't like the maintainance issues and gremlins these tend to have. I should have kept it. Anyhow, it's a fun game for both advanced and beginning players. Unusual playfield layout. I love the way you can get the ball screaming on the small upper right loop. Game can be brutal when set up hard. Modes are varied and fun. This is one of the few games where all the modes are actually fun to play. Sorry about the erratic review. The game is great, probably the best game under 2500 out there.

Has some nice modes and shots but just not for me. Themed well, but I am not into the theme. I can see why people like it, but the layout is a bit off for me.

All kinds of space on the Widebody layout. Ramps, Ramps amd more Ramps. Plays much faster than expected. Bad shots get rewarded with the ball coming back at you SDTM.
Pretty simple rules with lots of shots. Supergame gets used rarely, but it is fun way to introduce newer players to the multiball experience, and every once in a while I'll play it just to change things up a bit.

Judge Dredd is an excellent, underrated pinball machine! Lot of flow, ramps, 4 flippers and crazy multiball mode. The music is AWESOME and will put you into a heavy metal mood. The game suffers a little without the deadworld mod, but that is an easy fix. I found the combos in this game to be very satisfying to play. This is a beautiful machine with a outstanding comic book style art work playfield and plastics. Do not over look, or under estimate this pin!!
