Godzilla really is the complete package, that's about all there is to it. I don't think I can find any criticisms of the game, aside from maybe having some things be a little easier to understand rules-wise, but that can be overcome with reading and memorizing, and with deep rulesets, there is only so much information you can display on the playfield or screen. The silver powder coating on the LE isn't particularly flashy, but it makes sense and it does go well with the artwork (a different, more vibrant or poppy color would likely clash too much with the super colorful cabinet/backglass art)...I don't know, man. I'm really reaching here to find anything negative to say about the game...it's just too damned good! Elwin has done it again, the bastard!

Deadpool is an all-around good time! The shots are makeable, the combos are fun, and there is always something going on/being worked towards. They even manage to spice up the rinse-repeat nature of the game's battle modes with adding Sauron and his shots to the mix once you've gone through them once! I haven't made it through a second time yet, so I'm not sure if they continue adding variation, or if you go through them more than twice to get to the other Mr. Sinister wizard modes, but even just the one variation is a nice touch :) A very well designed, fun to play table, that has lasting appeal, and that you can put some big scores up on, even without being able to hit the SNIKT!

The theme is a big win for me; grew up on TMNT, and still love everything TMNT to this day. The artwork by Zombie Yeti is, as always, phenomenal (though the cabinet artwork is lacking all around, IMHO - and either side of the cabinet/head shares the same artwork, which is different than my Star Wars and Jurassic Park premium tables, which have unique art on either side of the machine), with the colors and design on the playfield being bright and attractive. The scoring is abysmal compared to other games that we own and have played, where you get scores in the thousands most commonly, with millions being much more rare and difficult to obtain, which coupled with how difficult this game is, and how much work you have to do just to keep a ball alive/get a ball under control to hit some shots, is really demotivating. Doing a bunch of hard work, only to have the table cheaply and impossibly quickly drain your ball time and time again, and to then look up and see that you have a score still below 1 million, or only a couple million and you're on ball three? Big bummersville there. That said, the game keeps you coming back for more, at least if you're stubborn like me! Maybe it's BECAUSE the game drains so frequently and cheaply, that I feel determined to prove I can best it and survive, and actually put up a decent score (which I have a number of times; 45m being my high score at the time of this writing, which is 1 week into ownership). Time will determine where the final score for this table lies with me, but at the moment, I have a serious love/hate relationship with it, because of how mean and cheap the drains feel, and how little you're rewarded for some truly hard work.

A favorite theme that is well and thoughtfully integrated, an awesome layout, incredible artwork, and just a blast to play once you learn the rules and can get control over the ball (this game loves to drain). I would love this game in my collection, and will make it happen one day! This is the pin that officially sold me on pinball in general and sucked me into the world!

The ability to choose your hero, each with different perks and bonus paths, as well as different episodes pre-completed, is quite fun. The Star Wars theme is here in full Force (pun intended), so as a fan of the series, I’m very satisfied in that department. The layout is good, but the shots can be quite finicky and unforgiving. A frustrating game that keeps me coming back for more punishment, and I enjoy every second of it!

A fantastically well designed, great playing game with awesome artwork and a fun, deep rule set. The only real bummer is that they didn’t get audio or visuals from the film(s) to really integrate the JP theme more. It still feels JP, but could’ve been better in that department. Regardless, this is a machine that I am ecstatic to own and will have in my collection for a long time!
