I’m not a fan, though a big part of it is I just don’t really enjoy any of the bands and the modes don’t do anything for me. Everyone talks about AC/DC’s ruleset but it feels like doing taxes to me, and I’m not getting anything from the soundtrack. If they were more story-based or better-themed I might enjoy them more, but I just don’t get the sense that I’m playing a game within the game like I do with other pins.

I dunno, it just doesn't do it for me - I don't really enjoy AC/DC's music, so the songs mean nothing to me. You play the War Machine mode and they say "war machine, war machine", and you hit the spinner and a little animation of an airplane drops bombs. I like the Kerins tutorial because he says things like "you have to get all the stuff" and "I have five progress", which basically sums up my emotional involvement when I play it. Light X, apply multiplication factor of Y, associate with mode e2, factor via long division into multiball. You either have to really enjoy that style of play, or enjoy AC/DC's music, which admittedly is a pretty inclusive venn diagram, which is why I'm not really knocking the games themselves because clearly people enjoy them, but it's kind of like white noise to me.
