The only negative is that the machine is kind of a "one trick pony" with the multi/multi/multi ball stacking trick. But that one trick is pure gold IMO. I wouldn't want this as my only machine, because once you get good at it, you're one goal when you walk up to it, is gonna be stacking the 3 multiballs. Once you have the machine for a while, every high score you'll have will be a result of stacking those 3 multiballs. When you achieve the stack and Dracula is yelling "30 MILLION!!!" it is one of the best feelings I've ever had in pinball, but when you play a game and fail to do it, then that particular round of the game kind of feels like a failure. Not that that's a really bad thing, it's just the way the machine plays.

You've got a pretty decent sized line-up with a total of 5 games, so I don't think you'd tire of this game any time soon. You'll probably find it addictive in that "just one more game" style, for a long time. Out of all my games, I play this one when I need a quick, fast and furious pinball fix and I don't have time for a long game. Speaking of the quick games, The game can be brutal at times. It's not a good beginner's game and it's kind of dark (heck, it IS dark). My visitors don't play it much if at all, but I love it.

Another negative is that most of the playfields are prone to planking and some insert wear, so check that out. Fade on the cabinet is also common in the reds. If you can get a colorful one, that's a big plus.
