I just found this table about two weeks ago, and I love it. I think the layout is very good and it's type of table that you want to play over and over....

It's a fun game with toys galore. I especially like the Creature toy that looks like it's underwater. The music got on my nerves after a while though, felt like I was stuck in a Munsters episode.

It is a funny game, with great animations, good layout. But it's too easy. It just don't have the lastability for me to be a keeper.

Nice game with lots to do.
However the creature section always bothers me because it has no speech and the writing on the DMD is pretty boring.

This game has some great quotes and is fun to play. The 3 ramps are extremely fun and rare to find this many on a game.

I have played my fathers machine about 100plus times. I really loved the theme and the gameplay straight away, I found the sounds a bit repetitive after a while, and the music can be annoying after a few plays. but overall a awesome machine with tons of playability for novices and experts.

There just isn't a lot to MB, it's an OK game, but how it got to "A" rated status, I have no idea - it needs a much better ruleset to be a genuine "A" game, the artwork is stunning. Give me a White Water any day

GREAT license, toys and artwork! The rules are a little on the weak side but a fun game. I'd like to have one pass through my hands someday.

Pretty amazing how these pinside rankings work. For example this isn't my favorite game...now don't get me wrong I like the game...but after rating it honestly it seems it's one of my highest ranked games.

Probably my favorite theme of any pin...incredible art work...great humor. Most say it's too easy which I don't find is the case. It's nice walking up to a pin and knowing you have a chance of getting through the software

What pinball should be all about, just plain FUN!! Great looking game, awesome sound, and a theme that just couldn't be much better. The Drac extra ball animation, and the Monster Bash Intro are 2 of my all time favorite animations. Just play and enjoy!!!

Monster bash is a really awesome game! Easy to learn, challenging, great music, good sense of humor, great art work and great flow. I personally like it better than Medieval Madness and its a real "bargain" in comparison lol.

Monster Bash is a great game. Task based game is easy to pick up and with 2 levels of Wizard modes it's easy to have a good game. Expanding the "martian" bomb theme 6 fold for the different creatures gives a nice extra angle in game play. Not much to dislike about this game.
I'll split this and Indiana Jones having the best replay animations & sounds also, not that that factors in much.

I just love this. I think once I set my sights on playing the perfect game with stacking then I realised this was seriously addictive. It's not deep and when you finish the Monsters Of Rock there's a strange come down but getting there is so much fun. I would love one of these so much.

10 of 10, this game has the nicest flow of all. Tons of toys and gimmicks (Dracula and Frankenstein are great) a superb sound and athmosphere, fun shots - this is what makes a Top pin!

I enjoy this game quite a bit. I love the concept and think the theme is done brilliantly. I wish more licensed games did it in a creative way like this. The art is excellent and the game just consistently makes me smile.

This was the first game that I purchased back in 2001 (thank god), and it will always hold a special place in my collection. Probably not the greatest game for really strong players, but absolutely fantastic for everyone else. Another game that has the "it" factor, at least for me. My only complaint is that the background music can get a little annoyingly repetitive sometimes. Other than this minor drawback, MB is just plain fun, as well as beautiful.

Top 5 for me. I really like the original music, toys, voice and sounds. A great game overall. With the stacked scoring, several multiballs, Universal Monsters and rock, its a 10 for me on all levels. Lymans lament is fun too - I play Lyman in my league every month, and he's not nearly that taunting in real life.

Laughs abound with plenty of hilarious callouts from Monster Bash. A Gomez signature fan-layout makes all of the shots easily obtainable for players of all skill levels. It's a fun game for a while, but ultimately, the lastability wasn't there for me.
