I love the James Bond movies and when I first saw the pin(before I played it). It didn't look great from the photos. This pin looks much better in person and it plays fantastic. The integration of theme is outstanding. I love the video clips, love the layout, love the sound effects and theme. This game is so much better than I thought it would be. As the code gets fleshed out I think it will get even better. The choice of movies that they are using is spot on and really works well with the game. I am glad they didn't try and make the game based on only one movie. It seems to work really well this way and I think it will give them plenty to work with to create rich depth. My biggest complaint is probably the Dr. No! back glass and I will probably replace it with something different when I get the chance.

This game is very interesting because it plays very differently than most others. My son played one game on it and walked away frustrated. I think because he is used to newer stern games that he has been mainly playing he didn't give it the time it needed so that he could learn the different geometry, flipper angles and type of shots. My first game felt a bit off as well, but I kept playing and by the 4th or 5th game I started to get in the groove and what an amazing groove it is. This game has flow, it has tight shots, it has easy shots and it can get really hectic and fast. I love the theme integration. I really don't understand why some are knocking the graphic package because I think it is fantastic. Super cool back glass too. I love the toys and magnets that mess with the ball. I love the music when there is music. I wish it had more, but alas I do prefer music pins in general. I don't love the call outs and wish they had gotten different voice actors in a couple cases as I find the voices of some of the battles a bit annoying. Integration of the shaker is excellent, sounds are excellent, and most importantly the game is really fun. I bought this to put on location, but it is going to stay in my game room a bit longer than expected.

The things that make this game stand out are the rotating playfield, and how the ball hops over game elements from the ejects, the back box interactive element and the built in topper (spotlights). The rest of the game is average. I am not super fond of the theme and the strange mix of cards with the movie theme doesn't really work for me. Even with the rest of the game being average and maybe slightly below in some cases. I think the game play is excellent and the very fun. I believe this game is rated so low due to age and theme. The bottom line is the game is very fun and has variety in the shots and reasonably good game rules considering.

This is just a great looking game with fun shots, good call outs and a great theme integration. Of all the music pins I have played and I have played most of them. I think this has the one of the best layouts with only Iron Maiden beating it slightly. One of the weaker areas of the game for me is the rules. I am not really drawn into the modes and they don't seem that different. Possibly that will change and improve with updates. I still rated it 5/6 in that category.

I am amazed this game doesn't get more love. I think the integration of call outs, music based objectives and overall theme is amazing. The lighting is beautiful and so is the theme. I think this game looks much better than most of the other games in my collection including Godzilla. The shots take time to learn and there are some tight shots and you certainly get penalized for missing certain shots. I do get quite a few SDTM drains and that is my biggest gripe. In fact I get them off of the launch way too often. That being said the game is fun and I just don't want to stop playing. I love the spinner and the sound it makes when you rip it is super cool. I can see this game staying in my collection for quite a while.

Update: After playing this quite a bit more it has grown on me (even more). I like the light show, theme, music, sounds and speech better than Iron Maiden. I like the layout on Iron maiden better.

Smooth as butter is how I would describe the ramps in this game. I love the ramp shots. I love the theme and I love the game play. This is so much better than I expected. I read some comments that led me to believe it was just a so so game, but it really is awesome. So much to like, but what stands out to me is how nice and smooth the ramp shots are. It is a challenging game without a bunch of SDTM shots. The rule set is deep enough to keep you playing, but you can also just hit a few shots and get a multi-ball so you don't have to spend too much time learning the rule set to appreciate the game.

This game is absolutely amazing! The projector is as cool as others have said. It really provides an immersive game play experience. The UV upside down mode is mind blowing. I just wish it would last longer. The magnet that holds the ball capture is such a cool idea and fits the theme of the game really well. I also really enjoy the ramp shots. There are plenty of ramp shots and I have been missing a good drop target layout and this has a great wall of targets. I love the show and they really hit a home run with the theme. My only complaint is there are so many sound effects you miss out on what music might be played. The back glass could be better, but doesn't effect overall play.

For the first few games I was thinking I made a mistake in the purchase, but after a few more I started to enjoy the game more and more. The shots are not as easy as I expected based on some comments. So it took a bit of playtime before I started making shots and was able to get into the game. The theme, sounds and overall experience are excellent. There are quite a variety of shots and the crane gives you tons more. I don't see getting bored with this game for a long time and with the crane shots possibly never.

I love this game, but it does have an annoying call out. "Wrong Hat" should be deleted and then this game would be awesome. If you can tune out the repeated call out the game is truly enjoyable. It is great family game and excellent theme. The playfield artwork is excellent, animations are good and backglass is fun. Easy multiball (maybe too easy), but this is a family game if you are looking for a challenging table this is not it. If you just want a fun family table with good artwork and funny call outs this is it!

I recently purchased this machine in a package deal and wasn't expecting much out of it, but it turns out it is really fun with interesting ramps and cool shots. The sound is the weak point of this game in my opinion. The theme is fun, but nothing special. It has some unique toys, but they don't add much to the game play. I would recommend checking this game out if you haven't as I hadn't ever played it and was pleasantly surprised.

When I first played this game I thought it was crap. I couldn't see the upper part of the play field, the ball drained easily and there didn't seem to be any flow or good shots. All of that changed once i had played a few games. You don't need to see the upper play field because it is designed so that shots don't come screaming down unexpectedly. If it was lit better then you wouldn't be able to see the display as well. It does take a bit of getting used to, but once you understand where things are you can start to really enjoy the show on the display without worrying about the ball draining. The flow is created when you start following the story and call outs. What really surprised me is how awesome the game gets when you start moving through the story and interacting with both the display and the table. I really love when you get those martians lined up and start splatting them with the ball. All of the modes are funny and have different types of interactions that you complete to move on. Call outs are funny and fit the theme perfectly. This is definitely a game that takes a few balls to learn, but becomes more fun the more you play.

This is a great game and even though I am not a fan of the bands music, the selection of music is good and the music has been growing on me. The theme is actually really good and is not offensive. I noticed quite a few comments from people saying they wouldn't want this game in their home and I must say I have no issues. I don't find the theme offensive at all. Even my wife who is very sensitive didn't find it offensive. Game play is outstanding, Music is good, theme is cool and perhaps underrated.

After owning this game for a while and playing and owning a bunch of other machines, this one has become the long lasting favorite of not just me but the whole family. Even the theme which I wasn't super fond of at first has grown on me quite a bit. It is so well done and the artwork is excellent. I was never an Iron Maiden fan in fact I probably would have told you I didn't like the music before owning this pin. The songs that they picked to use for the pin are outstanding and I have been fully converted into a fan!

I just wanted to add that the game has grown on me and my family more. I have bought and sold several other games and this game still gets the most play. I recently purchased Metallica and thought I would like it better as I prefer Metallicas music, but even a brand new game in the line up is getting less play.

It is shocking this is not more highly rated. It has an outstanding theme coupled with fun game play. Several ramps to shoot for and an great multi ball that is achievable, but not too easy. Great lighting, game flow that is fun and exciting. The music and other sounds are average and most importantly not annoying or repetitive. This is just a fantastic family oriented game that everybody can love.

For such a simple design this game is extremely fun. I really like the call outs you get once you have "Run the red light" and are trying to escape (get multiball). The innovative use of the upper switching ramp is cool. The overall design is so well done with all of the details considered that game flow and game play are simply top notch. So while this game may not have all of the bells and whistles that other newer games have the flow and speed of the game makes this a keeper.

The call outs are hilarious and well done. The "ski lift is open" call out does get repetitive, but otherwise excellent. The ski lift is a cool feature and the slalom course is unique and really fun. There could be more shots, but it works well with what there is. I sold this game and my wife really missed it so I bought it back. This is one of the only games she has missed and that speaks volumes. When this game is shopped out properly it is very fun. The shots are easy, but that is what makes it a great family game.
