Love the art and it's a fun game but for me 2 things prevent it from being a keeper. These are the flipper kickout holes which prevent cradling the ball and their frequently extended interaction with the swinging target.

Not sure how the above reviewer said there's nothing to shoot at. This game is all about skill shots. The object is to hit the lit letter to spell "Expressway". The E,X, and P letters are hit from a skill shot from the plunger and all the rest are skill shots as well throughout the playfield as they light up. The "Spot Letter" target is also another way to hit the current letter. There's also the bonus kickout hole to hit as well as the up post and bonus score advance mushroom bumpers to go for. Getting a ball into the left alley is not a direct skill shot and is usually knocked in by the left pop bumper. When this happens the player is rewarded by watching the ball being kicked out up from the left side and across the playfield and down into the right alley to score 2k points as well as getting the "mileage" score via a ball kickout. It's a really cool feature on an EM and combined with a great art package and theme, it's a keeper.
