Sticky's ratings

This game is absolutely spectacular. There is nothing else like it.

If you read through the ratings people will say it will get boring or that it is easy but it makes me wonder if they actually played the real thing or just played it on Pinball Arcade. I was operating under a similar line of thinking until I played the real thing.

Amazing. The toys aren't gimmicks but actually vital to the experience. Seeing the boxer turn around for the first time to fight is an eye opening experience. It makes you wonder where pinball would be today if WMS didn't stop producing machines after this one.

The game is not easy. I have been playing it over and over and find it a challenge and I'm not someone new to pinball. I'm not a wizard or anything but I play quite a bit. It has plenty of modes to challenge anyone. Like anyone here has actually completed the Ultimate Challenge.

There are complaints about scoring regarding betting points later in the game. I can't even get to this point and neither can anyone else that has played my machine so what's the big deal? Plus, shouldn't you be rewarded with big points for making it that far?

The point ultimately being not only is there plenty of depth and challenge but it's FUN! This is the definition of a fun table. Casual observers want to play after seeing it in action. My entire family is hooked. This is the type of pin to get anyone to love pinball. It's just got that kind of wow factor and appeal. I can not think of any other game that elicits such a joyous reaction so quickly.

Once you factor in the rarity, the sound, the fun factor, the humor, the playfield, the art, the toys, and how easy it is to pick up yet how much depth there is Champion Pub is unrivaled. It is just so innovative and fun I wish the designers were able to keep things going.

It's never leaving my collection. If you can even find one, scoop it up before someone else jumps on it. It's brilliant.

I didn't give this much of a chance initially as I figured it was old and boring. Once I gave it a chance though it blew me away.

It's all about multiball. There isn't really much to shoot for though beyond ORBS but it's a cool concept. Once you get 5 balls going it is a lot of fun.

There really aren't any gimmicks to it or toys. It's pretty simple and straightforward with solid gameplay but the art and sound are spectacular. It's just a solid game and I want to add it to the collection ASAP.

This game is amazing. I absolutely love the way the gambling is integrated and Casino run is addicting. What a fun mode!

The playfield is recycled from pinbot but so what? It's awesome.

The art, music, and just general feel are superb.

The pin is challenging as well. You'll curse the outlane drains.

The only thing I would improve is to give the left flipper some meaningful shots and make the lighting a bit more interesting.

Other than that, it's perfect. Can't wait to add one to the collection.

The downside is this game is way too easy.

The theme and backglass are way cool. The sounds get so repetitive though. Elvira does a great job but it doesn't even take a game for the sounds to start to get tiresome.

Overall it's a cool idea but the gameplay becomes boring when shooting at the box for jackpots all the time. It's way too easy of a shot.

There just isn't enough here for it to warrant its place in the Top 100.

I understand this is a super complex machine and it does things that other pins can not but considering the blank canvas that was given I don't think the result is all that impressive.

Does it have a cool theme? Sure. Does it have neat gimmicks? Sure. Great sound? Sure. Is it fun? Not really.

I don't like the stop and go gameplay with the crowded playfield. I don't like the interruptions in flow. I prefer a faster game. Taxi, Getaway, White Water, are all more fun for me.

Maybe they don't have those magnetic flippers but they play better. They play faster. This seems like a nice try in doing something complex. If that's your thing, go for it. I have no problem never owning this pin.

This is a fun pin. It plays fast and has a very simple and easy to understand theme.

It is not highly complex but it's just challenging enough. Straightforward, fast, interesting, etc.

The sounds get a bit repetitive but the theme is integrated very well.

Would I buy it? Considering it is a great value, sure.

Make no mistake this is a challenging game. It's a pinball machine for people who are good at pinball or at least think they are.

There is nothing wrong with that but there are a ton of drains. If you are just slightly off on shots the ball drains. I'm sure that was done on purpose.

There are some cool things with the reels, catching the fish, stretching the truth, etc., but how exciting is a fishing theme really?

Overall I like the challenge but it's not as fun due to the challenge and drains. I like the concept but there simply are more fun games to play.

This one is on my wish list. I can not think of any other machine at the moment I would rather have (other than the ones I own of course).

The ramps are the coolest feature and hitting the upper flipper to get to the other two ramps is very satisfying.

The rules are fairly straightforward and you can understand what is going on pretty quickly. I like that. A game does not need to be overly complex to be fun.

It's just a great game to play. The theme and sounds maybe aren't trend setting but when you hit some good shots and just nail the ramps with perfect timing it feels good.

Definitely a top 20 game and for me top 5. Can't wait to buy one.

It may not have insane lastability but it plays FAST and is fun. This is the type of machine to get people addicted to pinball.

The layout is amazing. Simple yet very fast with nice shots to hit. The DMD is integrated very well.

This is the machine that got me hooked on pinball and I can't find any other machine that gives me the same feeling. That definitely is worth a solid rating. I'm in love with it.
