Our barcade luckily had this when it first came out so I had a chance to play it but after it left it was never around for years. After another local arcade picked up one of the black and white versions I played it again and had to own one. This is by far one of the best pinball machines ever made and the code is unbelievable. I feel like this has something for everyone it's easy to start modes and just shoot the ball but if you know what you're doing you can really blow this thing up. All of the modes are fun with great music and sound effects that fit the theme perfectly and the fact that Elvira commentates between stuff is just that icing on the cake. The shots are not crazy difficult but you still have to find the flow and know how to control the ball. There's so many little hidden things and constantly something going on at all times. Gappa Wizard mode and multi-ball is definitely one of my favorite wizard modes. There are not many games out there that give you five different wizard modes as consolation according to how many balls you locked trying to get to the final sixth ball! You basically have to strategically lock and purposely drain at each ball lock on different Gappa attempts, to eventually see all of the wizard modes it has, crazy! If you have a chance find one, now that the code is fully updated It is a must play!

This is definitely one that I would take the pro over the premium the upper playfield does not add anything to the game, it just makes it harder to get to area 51 multiball. And the bash toy is not worth an extra couple thousand dollars. And from what it looks like the playfield art and everything else is almost the exact same. The flow in this game is great if you're hitting shots otherwise it's a brutal nightmare. It's also a one-trip pony, start a city, start a multiball, hope you don't drain.... That's it no strategy at all. I know people love this game it's just not for me

And the bash toy is not worth an extra couple thousand dollars. And from what it looks like the playfield art and everything else is almost the exact same. The flow in this game is great if you're hitting shots otherwise it's a brutal nightmare. Code updates have made it better but it's still very one note

I will say first off the flow of this game is pretty unbelievable, if you're hitting shots. Otherwise it's a brutal nightmare and the fact that they shipped them without post rubbers is just stupid. I'm my opinion it's a one trick pony that as long as you're hitting any shot you're making points no strategy at all. Start a City then start a multiball... That's it. And I'm not knocking the Foo fighters but of all the bands out there this is what y'all chose, really. The alien aspect I get because of where the name change from but it's way overplayed for theme. I don't doubt Danger is going to be a great designer, and was able to achieve some very cool flow, and I know that people love this game it's just not for me at all.

It's a shame they only made 700 of these, I think it's the best of the 4 horsemen (BK, JL, and PH). The playfield layout is great and have a lot going on for it's age, but challenging. Everything for points is timed, so it hard but great reward when you get it. Multiball is short and sweet, but if you can get everything to the upper playfield your score is going to show it! Cool Solar gun feature. No music or speech, so some of the sounds gets a little repetitive. Overall an amazing game, if you have the chance to play or own do not past it up.

I can definitely see why people say this is one of the best theme integrations ever. If you like the movie Big Lebowski then all of the callouts and animations will have you cracking up the entire time. The game has great flow once you figure out the geometry, and with it being a lot like Willy Wonka and collecting kids for multiball, you can really rack up multi balls back to back to back. Once you learn how to set your White Russians onto the meaningful shots your points really start going up big time. It's really sad this company hasn't put more machines out so more people haven't had a chance to play it, super awesome machine. If they added the ability to stack modes into multiballs the code would be near perfect imo

Wow what a machine! There are about a million ways to go about playing this machine, and it is one of those that all you need is one good ball and you can really blow it up big time. Theme integration is definitely the best Batman theme pin, and the flow through the modes is amazing. The animations are perfect for pinball, and with each shot you "hit" the villian you're fighting with the onomatopoeia in the background. The rules and code to this game is almost flawless, again there are a million ways to go about playing it and all of them can make lots of points if you do them right. Definitely top 10 for me

After playing this on my Vpin I decided I had to seek it out to own the real machine, and I could not be any more happier. As of at least this post this is possibly my favorite pinball machine ever. The amount of stuff to do in the game, stacking with everything, and keeping everything going at once with continued timer resets as you start even more stuff is absolutely incredible. As long as you know the Simpsons, which I don't know who on Earth wouldn't, all of the call outs and speech is funny and fits perfectly, the theme music can get a little bit old but it's changing a lot as long as you're keeping the game going. The rule set on this game is so in-depth you will possibly never run out of things to do unless you are a mega super duper pinball wizard yourself. It is one that constantly makes you go back for more, I truly don't ever see myself parting with this machine.

Mine finally came in, and I have had an absolute blast so far! The light show on this machine is hands down one of the best. It does suck they could only do toy story 4 and not all of the movies, but I'm sure the licensing for that would have made this a $50,000 pinball machine. I also feel it made the game very cohesive in that it didn't try to jam for movies into one concept. Super awesome that the call-outs are actually Tim Allen and Tom Hanks son, and they are 100% helpful for someone to be able to walk up to the machine without having to read the rules or know how to play. It's funny people knock it for being self-explanatory instead of having to play a bunch of games before you figure out how to play. I think they did a great job making this game approachable to everyone. It's fun for beginners and you still have to have a skill set to collect all the characters before getting to carnival mode and carousel wizard mode is not easy to get to either. And the Duke kaboom ramp is so freaking cool and when you can hit it during a multi ball it makes it even more satisfying and awesome! Skill shot is ridiculous, but very rewarding. The right ramp is one of the smoothest I've ever played. All around great machine, you just have to be willing to pay to the name Disney on your machine.

Update: I owned one for 3 months, and then sold it. It's not that it's a bad machine, but owning one is very frustrating. They designed the play field cutouts in a way that have to be adjusted all the time or they divert the ball on the playfield down the center. And I'm not sure if it was on purpose but whatever rubbers they use are the bounciest of any game I've ever played. And the slings make me want to pull my hair out when you get caught in back and forth which 9 times out of 10 results in and out lane drain. Lastly for the buzz multiball to be a main part of that game and there is no true shot into the scoop it is pure luck if the bumper puts it there for you I don't feel like was a good decision on their part. Make it a difficult shot but give me the ability to hit it, not just throw it into the bumpers and hope for the best. Overall it's not a bad game on location, The Barcade down the road has one and I all the time see people throwing money into it, so I'm sure as an operator it's a wonderful machine because the light show will bring kids up to it 100%. As a pinball player there are too many things about the playfield that you cannot control that can make for a bad game not your level of skill.

If you're an X-Men fan and know the story lines this game will amaze you with how in-depth they made the combo shots based on the characters involved in each storyline. Great modes, awesome multi balls, easily understandable rules, and the magneto machine looks incredible! It is a bit one note collect X-Men, battle villains, then Magneto multi-ball, but trying to get everything collected to maximize scoring is definitely difficult to make sure you're hitting the right shot to the right time.

First off I'm a 80s kid so this theme has a nostalgia point with me big time! If you didn't grow up on Ninja Turtles I can definitely see where some of this would seem cheeky, but the theme, toys, and missions are all amazing. Gameplay is great once you figure out how to stack and can get your shots dialed in. This is definitely a more difficult pin, but that's why I appreciate it because it's always a challenge and not just something you can rack up points on by doing simple shots, you have to collect and stack to score anything big.

One of the best of all times! Missions, flashing lights! A couple different ways to get multiple ball, video modes, and extra ball. And the Adventure top tilt table is awesome. Overall always want to come back to try to complete all the missions.

This is a great machine game play and classic callouts of Black Knight taking trash. The shot to the upper playfield can be hard if the flippers aren't full powered. But you can keep the ball on upper field with a little bump forever! Overall awesome game

The amount of different game modes and Easter eggs for the age is pretty impressive. Alongside the fact that you get all of them just algia if you enjoyed old school wrestling. Certain sequences will make the machine go into secret modes which is pretty cool once you figure them out. And 6 ball multiball is always a big plus for the old school games. Worth it especially for the price they are still going for. If your not a wrestling fan the callouts will get repetitive and annoying
