Its beautiful because it is so brutal. This era is tough to compare to current games but this original theme and unique layout will make it stand the test of time. This game is the great equalizer in a pinball tournament as ball times are usually short but I love the rules and when you finally put it all together and max out the multiplier along with super bonus, its a thing of beauty. This is another game that won't ever leave my collection. Its great for its time and the price point is a good one. Don't have it as your only game but works great it a collection of games to mix things up.

Dialed In LE has stood the test of time in my collection. I purchased long ago and have yet to even think of getting rid of this game. When it first came out, I thought it was the most stupid theme ever....but then I played it. The toys and gimmicks are one of the best ever. The shots are satisfying and smooth. It is not multiball heavy like some other jersey jacks. The SD card shot is kind of weird but can still be made. Everyone that plays my collection ends up liking that game cause its easy to walk up to and just play, but rules have good depth and don't get too repetitive. This will likely stay in my collection for a long time to come. Give it a chance if you haven't yet!

Great looking game that has wonderful theme integration, but like many Jersey Jacks, it just isn't that fun ......over time. The rules kill it cause it just seems to multiball heavy. The playfield, although filled with toys under the playfield, is just too barren when the toys aren't out, but when the toys are out, it is just too barren. The games does make you go on a journey, but it just feels like chopping wood over and over and over. I do feel the callouts are great. This one didn't last too long in my collection and I have since moved on. I may play again if I see one in the wild but I don't thnk I'll miss it too much.

Finally jaws has arrived! This game is absolutely a keeper. The game has the assets for all 4 jaws movies. It sucks that Brody wasn't able to be put on the playfield but Quint is where its at anyway. Elwin worked his magic with a game that has great, unique shots. The mini right flipper is pretty awesome and the ability to lock during multiball is really neat and useful. Yes the game should have done something different with the shark but its still integrated well and the game just pulls you in. If you haven't played in a home environment, you probably don't get to hear all the awesome things going on with the audio. The upper playfield, which normally I am not a fan of, is not my favorite. There is no way to just keep the ball up there since it moves through so quickly. Its also a tough shot to get up there. Can't wait to see where the rest of the code takes this, but 0.86 is already great! Great job Elwin and team!

This game has it all and never gets old. The rules are so deep and hard to attain. I keep finding new things and am not even close to the end. Since the pinsiders have banded together to add more original sound, this game is second to none. Best game ever in my opinion.

I got this game after seeing some videos come out. I put my deposit down and then figured I'd decide down the road if I'd be getting this, based on everything else I heard. Most people seem to love it. There are some outliers that don't like it, and want the world to know they don't like it...... Over and over. I'm here to say that so far it is freaking awesome.

The games shots are tough and unforgiving. You can't just wildly flip and expect to accomplish your goals. Stacking the catapult and 3 knights multiball is insane and also very challenging to collect the massive points. The upper playfield is necessary on any black knight. Some say it slows the game down but I actually love it. You MUST learn to nudge or you will never accomplish anything upstairs. This is making me a better player. The actual modes, along with the animations, are great. I'm not a heavy metal type of guy but I still think the custom soundtrack is perfect for this high speed game. Most of the time there is so much going on so fast, that the pace goes right along with the music. It is a great combination. I also reached the retro mode. That was a nice touch. I've always been a fan of the black knight games so that was a nice add to this game. Build quality seems very strong. Are they using newer cabinets? Everything is solid and I only had one issue with setting up. The upper flipper wasn't moving freely. That was an easy fix. As far as playability, I really have to force myself to stop playing at night. This game makes you keep wanting one more game. It gets your adrenaline going and I usually can't fall right asleep after playing it. I'll report back in a few months but don't believe the haters on this one. I got my Monster Bash Remake LE two weeks prior and Im not even playing that game much. To each their own but I recommend going the premium/le' s a lot of play. Learn the rules and learn to nudge. This game is freaking great and will probably keep getting better! I highly recommend.

UPDATE - I still really like this game, but since jurassic park premium came home, it's not getting much play. It definitely is not as good as jurassic park but is still a solid game that people ock to at my house. I have adjusted my rating.
