Rush is one of my favorite bands. I spent the first couple months severely disappointed with the game, partly due to the scoop issues and also due to my inability to figure out just how the rules fit together.

After replacing the scoop protectors (Ninjacamp) getting comfortable/familiar with the rules, I really started to appreciate just how much of the band is actually represented in this pin. Whether the awesome callouts, music, video, or even the theme appropriate rules… this pin is a Rush fan’s dream. Not only is it really fun to play… dude, its Rush.

I have never come close to hating a game this much. There are zero redeeming qualities on this turd.

Edit: after hearing this comment quoted on Wedgehead Podcast, I felt the need to qualify it a wee bit. A local establishment I play tourneys at has it on site again (after it left for a couple years) so I have been forced to play it many times during events. Everything works as it is supposed to… and it is still the hardly lit, clunky, passionless turd I mentioned prior to this.

It had been a while since playing the OG pin and didn’t get too many games on it so never rated it, but now have played a remake a number of times.

Great theme, pretty game… but I just don’t want to keep playing it. Boring, games take too long without being real fun… horrible for tournaments due to being so long playing and so narrow pointwise for a modern game. Hohum for me.

Unbelievable gameplay and layout. Fantastic theme integration.

Code has gotten fantastic. This game just totally nails it with humor, gameplay, etc.

Granted I just (finally) got this game, but it is rare that I just can’t stop playing a pin. Awesome awesome game.

Though lighting is a bit too dark, the theme and gameplay is phenomenal. I have waited for this pin for decades.

It is hard to say if it is mostly nostalgia or if this game is just that good, but the sounds from Pinbot still get me amped up every time I hear them and I love playing it.

It is not a complicated machine, but it is beautiful in that simplicity.

The sounds are awesome. The visor and matrix are awesome. Overall theme is awesome.

I wish the scoring on the planet progression were greater. I wish the outlanes were just a little less hungry (bounces off the rubber seem to always drain the ball)

I have always loved AC/DC, and I feel like the idea of an actual jukebox and separate scoring per song is brilliant. I have owned this game (Premium) for a while now, and not only don’t get tired of it... I still occasionally play it when I run into it in public.

I wish the backglass were better looking, wish the lower playfield were more fun, and hate when balls get stuck on the cannon while it is retracting during multiball... but this game is just great.
