Wow, great insight so far!
What I like about Doctor Who is the many ways to play it:
- Go for the O Ramp all day long
- Spell W-H-O and get the extra ball
- Go for multi-ball and shoot for Daleks
- Hit the Escape Targets and go for Video modes (video mode is pretty fun)
Repeating on the O-Ramp is still a thrill! -- the pin has to be set-up properly. Also, it is not a game for novices ‘cause the side outlanes are brutal! Also, it has lightning flippers.
What I like about White Water:
- Has great sense of humor and an excellent sound package
- Great ramps!
- Also, many ways to play it with the different modes: trying to 5x Playfield the multiball, or utilizing the various modes
I put a ColorDMD in both, and it really compliments the video mode in Doctor Who. Not necessary in White Water, but still an improvement. I also put in a PinSound sound, upgraded speakers, and added a stereo cable. Highly recommended upgrade for both! Doctor Who has some great community sound packages!
Still in the honeymoon phase with Doctor Who, and it has one of the best toys in all of pinball! (Not related to playability, but White Water does have a better topper and an iconic backglass!)
