Quoted from Av8:I was trying to be nice to Avengers owners. But hear goes.
Avengers is the worst Stern I ever played. Poor shots. No flow. Trapped balls. Jam Fest. Blocked Thor targets. Wtf? Plasticky feel. Shooter ramp problems. Gomezs worst design I played. Ramp Rejects. And annoying call outs that aren't even from movie. JM is better by 10 times. I haven't even gotten to the rules.
Just watch the YouTube videos.
Don't think twice about it.
Disagree with much of this. Poor shots? Or hard shots? I don't find HE, CA, IM, or BW shots to be poor, but are hard and require precision. I never have trapped balls once tweaks are made. The game has flow, you probably just can't make the shots to see it. It doesn't have the flow of xmen, but its there,BW-->IM. Shooter ramp problem requires a tweak, not a big deal. Ramp rejects don't happen on pro, which i have. The rules are actually pretty good once you start getting into the VS modes and the game has some of the best light shows out there. I actually like many of the callouts, they aren't from the movie, but don't see how that makes it a bad game. Stern probably should have fixed some of these issues before releasing it, but they aren't a big deal.
Played last night and hit 205 mil, just shy of my 211 high, multiple VS modes, really a lot of fun. Btw, for those that harp on quality, I've had mine since January, play it all the time and nothing has broken on it!
I wish I had an opportunity to play ACDC, I'm sure it's a blast too, can't go wrong with any of the newer sterns!
