Ive owned this game for awhile now. Its just not doing it for me. Maybe its the multiplier based theme...The weird layout and angles of the playfield...how i actually get annoyed sometimes when i hit the grandpa scoop and go down below....poorly designed drac and kitty shot...the software (dont get me started). I keep waiting for a update but I dont think I can wait. Even with a update Im just really not impressed with the layout. It really is a brutal game, the angles are really weird. I feel like the prem and le should have come with a shaker motor also or something. Also why spend so much time on hidden modes of the game. I feel like Im missing out on a lot of things. Like how often am I going to be up at midnight to play. sometimes ill be up and try to remember to notice its 1215 and i missed it haha. I have set my alarm before haha

There are good things

I have never had to take the glass off for a stuck ball or anything. I havent had any maintenance issues at all. I do like the black and white edition i have. Some of the lighting effects i like. Some people dont like it but I like that stern is moving to these smaller brighter type of inserts. They use a lot of them on the new Elvira and i think they look good and changes the look. The different colors look neat on the black and white also

Ive had this machine for a couple months now and I really enjoy it when the ball isnt getting stuck some where. It took some time getting it dialed in and fixing all the places on the playfield the ball could get stuck. I lite the playfield more too which made a big difference.

So I traded my MET Pro that I put about 2500 plays on for a practically brand new Deadpool Pro from some rich dude. I have about 100 good plays on it so far and I have mixed feelings.

I really like the game but I feel like they really still have a long way to go with the rules. There could be so much more to the game than there is and whats up with the no extra ball. Well really hard to get extra ball? They really need to come up with a update and also keep track of more high scores. My MET kept track of all kinds of in game mode high scores. I mean come on we play to beat high scores. And then again I will complain about the stern quality again. Already have pitting on this machine. Again people seem to keep justifying this by saying a pinball is harder than wood. Well I have two other machines with thousands of plays and there is no pitting on the play field so why stern keeps putting machines out with play fields they know and don't care about pitting blows my mind.

Now with that being said the game is a lot of fun and I dont feel bad about my choice. I know people arent going to like it when I say this but I think MET is a little over rated on this site. I put up some monster scores but it was really are to stay consistent with it and it takes a beating. This machine is holding my attention and I like a lot of the features. I will be patient with the updates because I know they have to be coming. I think with a few updates this machine could really be one of the best machines of there. And it looks great. And I came out ahead in the deal so that helps too I think haha. Mine came with a light up topper and under cabinet lighting and the MET pro I traded didnt really have to many big mods like that but was very very well taken care of.

So I finally feel like I have enough plays on this to give a honest review and I have some mixed feelings about it. When i first played it I really enjoyed it but now that I understand the rules a little more I feel like they are not as good as I thought and lacking in areas. I do really enjoy the toybox toy and the launcher seems to work well. The pro version is the one i have been playing but played a premium at a convention and thought it was much better with the way they did the elevator. The pro model I play in my league is a little beat up and both the elevator and scoop seems to shoot down the middle every time. The elevator give a ball save that I feel is wasted every time because of this and I have had balls come out of the scoop and drain during competitive play a lot which is very frustrating. Also is the machine is not leveled correctly the pop bumpers with catch it a lot of times when I dont believe it was meant to.

The artwork is awesome on the playfield especially and would look great in my collection at home but after getting to know it better Im not sure i would pick one up if I saw it for sale even for a decent price.

Ive had this game for LED model over a year and have over 3000 plays on it. I could really write a lengthy review on this.

First I really enjoy the game. I love the layout, theme and ruleset. It has a lot of different things going on and is great for home use because it takes awhile to master all the different ways you can approach play.

My only con is the quality of the stern machine itself. I bought it brand new and had a few things go wrong with it and I felt the playfield pitted fast and the magnet mushroomed fast which caused playability problems. I have talked to a few people about the pitting and everyone seems to think this is a normal thing. Well I dont think so. I have played games in the 90s like my Judge Dredd or Popeye both of which I have in my collection with a ton of plays on them with no pitting. Stern is not trying to make their games better they are trying to make them cheaper. This was also my first machine so I was expecting a little more out of it I guess as far as quality goes. Im not sure I will buy another brand new stern machine.

The game itself is awesome and everything other than quality of the machine I cant complain about at all. It can be a drain machine at times (I have it set pretty steep and its a fast game already) and hard to get consistently get high scores. Even though I have the game I always dread being put on it in tournaments because of the consistency problems and because in my opinion only plays well when its maintained correctly. Having weak flippers or a mushroomed magnet that the ball jumps over all the time can be very frustrating. I think it is a great game to have in a personal collection though because once you finally get a run of good balls in one game and get everything stacked up it can be a very adrenaline filled intense game

I had a chance to play a few games on this during Zapcon (which is why I didnt rate the sound) I knew it was a highly ranked game on here but I didnt know that so little were made and that makes it even more impressive to me. I really enjoyed the game and for not knowing for sure what I was doing I had a few pretty good games one it. I thought it played well and I liked the toys and how they were incorporated in the game. I wish they made more of them so I could find one a little cheaper because I would definitely buy one.

I had a chance to play this at Zapcon for awhile. I wasnt a fan of the playflield layout with that guy that moved back and forth and I felt like I never used the top left part of the machine. With that said I do enjoy what Jersey Jack is doing to step up the pinball game and the game really is eye catching.

I have had this game for awhile now with about 1000 plays and it really has some good points. I think this is a great game for home use with all the different things you can do with super game and whatnot. A great game for multiball practice and widebody flipper handling if you play competitively. I find the playfield to be a little dark but with some leds and a few spotlights its a lot better but for the time period it had a lot of positives and the artwork on the playfield really stands out when lit. I recently changed out all the rubbers and gave it a really good cleaning and now it plays really nice. Oh and mine has a color display which is great for the game because there is a lot of awesome animations and the call outs are funny too.

I had a chance to play this machine at Zapcon in Mesa AZ. I was actually impressed with the game and wish I had more time to play it. I also liked the way the flipper combos were setup at the top of the playfield. I cant say much for the sound because it was loud in there but Im sure it was top notch.
