I love playing this pin. So many things to shoot for and the shots feel great. Incredible game.

I waited until I my machine was 100% and I had some playtime with it before I wrote this review.

I really enjoy this machine! Some don't like the theme, but I love it. It's unlicensed artwork like this that first attracted me to pinball growing up. The idea of three mice (the balls) being chased around the playfield, being caught by the traps, and escaping into the mouse hole is extremely clever to me.

The two main gimmicks, the traps and the mouse hole, are extremely fun to exploit. I've always loved physical ball lock Nd the traps might be the coolest I've encountered. Also, having the ball go behind the playfield is unique and entertaining, especially when it's for 1 mil.

Some say the middle ramp breaks the flow or is worth too much. I look at it as a great risk/reward strategy. The middle ramp will relight the kickback if you hit the stand ups blocking it in sequential order then hit the ram three times. That's easier said than done. It's also useful to light the build 1 mil lights on the ramps. I, personally, love the middle ramp and enjoymits added strategies. It's not open all the time and resets after every locked ball or collected mouse hole.

The other two ramps are smooth and satisfying and the orbit is fast and useful (it lights mouse trap letters). I just love the flow of this game. When I'm "on" it feels amazing.

The music and call outs are very memorable. I adore the "high score" song that plays when I get to put my name on the board. The game over music is great as well.

That being said, the rules are shallow compared to modern titles, but I love the simplicity and "one more try" feeling it gives me. This machine is a keeper and one of my favorite pins of all time.

Much more interesting ruleset than I initially had thought. There is a certain rhythm to the game that is very satisfying. The multiball is a bit disappointing because there aren't multiple jackpots, but hitting that one jackpot feels great. I find the callouts quite clever and the overall sound is entertaining to me. I tend to like this era of unlicensed pins, so this definitely fits right in. You can find this for a reasonable price,and it's definitely worth it.

Talk about a fun game to play. Every shot feels like amazing. The mini playfield is a little silly though.

I have NO ideas why this machine isn't considered top 10. I love everything about it, even the art package. I love the movie, so the references are great. But forget about all of that....this machine plays like a dream. If you want flow, you won't find much better. I even like the car crash and eyeball. They aren't a waste fad are satisfying to hit. The sound could use a little tweaking. "Jackpot" needs to be more energetically announced and there a certain song that often overstays it's welcome. Other then that, this machine is top notch.

I've gone back and forth with JP since I bought it a little over a year ago. Is it a super flowing rampfest? No. Not in the least, and you will be disappointed if you treat it as such. However, once you learn the shots (damn those scoop feel good when the ball goes *schunk* into them) you will be rewarded with a pulse pounding beast of a machine. When you slop shots you'll hit posts all day and think it's a clunky game. Learn the rules and keep your eye on the current goal and you'll have a great time. Double Choas into feeding trex, then laps on the victory ramp finishing back into trex is some of the best pinball I have ever experienced.
