I'm lucky enough to own AS, Metallica and Kiss. All great games despite what the Kiss haters say. Metallica is the most polished for sure, AS is more fun to play with very interesting rules (plays a lot more like ST than Kiss in my opinion) The art work is tremendous on AS (much better than a I thought from the pictures before i bought it) and the new display is wonderful. There's not much not to like on AS. With that said I still feel Kiss has the potential to be the best of the bunch. Earning Playfield multipliers for song completions makes it the ultimate risk/reward game. Only time will tell which is the best.
