i played AS over the weekend. i did have my hesitations at first about the screen animations and shots. i will say i am happily surprised.

artwork is good. thought it was going to be too distracting. isnt at all. much better in person than pics. shots are really good. very fast play. the ball and the toy box has a couple modes. 1 is to lock balls in while the other is the ball is suppose to hit the jester. the call out even says so. the voice for the jester is ok. can be changed in code so no big deal for me. i like the option to build your multiball to 6.

i really didnt notice the animations on the back box. i was busy watching the playfield.

the machine is built solid. metal ramps are solid. music is subjective to every person so i am not going to address that. code is pretty good so far.
