    I have played all 3, I own Hot Wheels and recently picked up an Oktoberfest. I really enjoy Houdini and Oktoberfest, great original themes with creative layouts. I don’t have many positive things to say about Hot Wheels, it shoots/plays kind of generic compared to AP’s other offerings. Oktoberfest is my favorite out of the bunch.

    Quoted from Phbooms:

    My HW had normal dimpling and some ribbing and felt poorly designed with a bad center playfield layout.
    Code was excellent with lots of breadth but shallow overall and most good players would do better just playing on location then owning one i feel after having one for a short time and making it through the entire game RipleYYY
    Id love to own a Octoberfest at some point though cause when I played it it was alot more fun then JJP POTC right beside it.
    Hows that Levi can AP say they finally made it? LOL!

    My sentiments exactly, those RPM targets cause a ton of air balls on my Hot Wheels machine (with lowered flipper strength and leveled correctly). My my playfield has taken a beating with less than 150 plays, tons of deep dimples. Love the code but the layout is uninspiring and that’s being kind, we can’t even get a loop ramp…..all we get it a car that spins around on a stick, meh. Oktoberfest and Houdini have such creative and fun layouts it leaves me scratching my head…..what happened with Hot Wheels, no budget?? With the theme you’d expect a layout similar to Avengers AIQ, with crazy ramps shots all over the playfield…..such a missed opportunity AP!! I’ve got my fingers crossed your next title will bring back that creative edge your first 2 offering had.
