Let's just say this has to be one of the most underrated and misunderstood games of all time. The build quality is outstanding and the materials top notch. A gorgeous machine inside and out. The mechs and lighting are tremendous. The code is deep and fun with tons to do but not too complicated. The 22 inch trunk shot never gets old--theatre is way cool. The fact that it isn't even in the top 100 is laughable and embarrassing. That's due to the mob mentality and groupthink /lazy takes of this site unfortunately which I just saw a pinball company honcho commenting on the other day. So--biggest complaint you always hear is "shots are too tight." I have some news for you in that regard to what that really means--it means 1 of 2 things. #1--you're just not really that good at pinball--it's ok.#2--You haven't given it enough time to get dialed in to the shots. Give it time and you will get a lot better at it. The price is so good right now--if you have been on the fence---BUY IT. I highly recommend for good players and even if you are average --just give it some time. For a first effort from AP--tremendous game and a shame it/you don't get the credit you deserve.

I am not a fan of Marvel or the Avengers---but....I am a fan of great pinball machines. After finally collecting all the gems and beating Thanos I have experienced everything it has to offer. Pros--incredible shooting game some in the biz say maybe best ever. It is definitely a blast to shoot with varied shots and multiple ramps. The wire forms are great and machine has great colors, art and lighting (get mirror blades). Lots of great mods of which I have most. Just a great looking game. You want rules? Deep as they come and fun too. I will say they made the computer grid more complicated than it needed to be though. Music is fine and animations are just OK. The outlanes feel like they have magnets which will have you nudging a lot with little success. Great game if you are better than average player or up. Better to me than many of the new "next greatest" games coming out.

Holy cow is this game underrated. First off-- has things no other pinball machine has ever had--projector and UV lighting. Both have exceeded my expectations greatly. There is no other machine like it out there. It plays fast and faster. Many modes and most of them are really good. 2 minis and a final showdown. The TK ball lock is nice too---IF you can get it dialed in correctly. The demogorgon shot is cool also. Many people adjust this to make it too easy imo. I want it to be a difficult shot as the game can be tough overall. It's more satisfying when you hit it that way. Play better. Good looking machine all modded out too. A few cons---the TK ball lock can be really hard to get dialed in. Most of the time can be accomplished but it will take you much trial and error. The demodog modes are a little lacking--not very compelling. Many feel they need to dial in the Demogorgon also. Some QC issues that can be resolved--no playfield issues on this one. Not perfect but give Stern credit for trying new technology and pushing the envelope. It's always tough being the first to try something. Code is complete---give it a try!

Game is incredibly underrated due to theme and only 3500 made. Steve Ritchie lay out--is that any good? Beautiful machine and build quality is excellent.With LEDS and mods just a gorgeous machine. Color DMD is awesome in this. Tons of features---hotel is a blast to shoot, 4 flippers, metal ramps, 2 saucers, old school drop targets, stand ups, hound dog toy and clear upper playfield is right on. They should have used these more often--great concept. Encore MB feature is way cool. It just shoots smooth---great backglass. Modes are solid---not the deepest game ever produced but it's just entertaining and fun. You don't have to be a big Elvis fan to enjoy---it's a sleeper---Elvis has left the building!

This game has a lot going for it. First it was designed by John Borg who designs great games IMO. If it had Williams on it instead of Sega it would be rated much higher. So the movie was terrible--who cares--you are playing a pinball machine. The shots are excellent with great art work by legend Paul Faris. The wizard mode is a blast. Unique start to multi ball which can lead to 6 ball if you hit your shots fast enough. The large DMD and animations are excellent. Some things to do if you want the full experience. Color DMD is awesome on this. You have to replace the flipper coils with the GNR coils. It totally changes the game. There was a design flaw with the originals. Full LEDS and it jumps with a great lightshow. Add some Titans and some lights to the back and you are set. Deep rule set and many modes. I have not even mentioned Frankenstein throwing balls at you but its awesome. Adjust settings to have him throw it hard and it hits the glass--way cool. You can even change the soundtrack--don't feel the hate for the music like others do.The ball launch is cool too--no regular old plunger--classic. Set it up with the right enhancements and you will not be disappointed.

Wolverine HUO--I wanted to wait for at least 100 plays before rating this completely underrated game. Ton of code here and numerous great shots, modes, villains and heroes. Beautiful machine and with the newton mod it opens up the left side of the playfield. 4 multiballs, 2 wizard modes, moving ramp, magnets, VUK, etc. This is a great table for home use. It has so many shots, combos, modes, etc. that the lastability is off the charts. Great light show with changing colors. The DMD animations are excellent. For what you can get one of these for---it is one of the best deals to be found. Powder coated, backglass, nice cabinet art. Playfield art is done right. Call outs are average at best--some better than others--only negative I see. Much better than many machines rated higher--believe it.

Waited 3 months to rate and it's a great machine. Huge Borg fan and this is definitely Lyman's masterpiece. The code and rules are some of the best ever created. Deep, Deep and deeper. I have never even seen an episode of TWD but that doesnt matter. Game play and code make the game. Have most every MOD also and it is a good looking machine. Alt translite is nice. Yes--it can be brutal and punish you for mistakes but that's my type of game. It will make you better and in a home setting that's what you want for lastability. Can't recommend it enough--get it--forget about the theme. Zombies are timeless. Don't get bit!

An all time classic. The colors are great--what a striking pin. The gameplay is fast and furious. Wax it up and let it rip. 2 sets of targets and a killer kick out hole. It plays insanely fast when tuned up and waxed. I have a collectors condition machine that with new rubber and waxed is lethal. Yes it can be a drain monster at times--but some of the best ones are. Go for it if you can find one in good shape.

No question one of the most underrated games of all time. Great ruleset, massive drop targets, poker and blackjack! Gets a bad rap because of the movie I suppose. Must be 100% working to appreciate and understand. Nice layout and the giant DMD is awesome. Raise or fold? What a value for the money---if you can find one in good shape--get it.

Totally underrated game! Have had for a few years and it is in great shape and plays well. Have to use the curved flippers or you are not playing the game as intended. Great sounds and with some colored LEDS in the back glass looks great. Wax it up and let it rip. Unique and fun game--if you can find one in good shape get it.
