Quoted from RobKnapp:

Russell I heard Zach and Joe talk about a poke at STERN . At some point you can pull a GB puffed marshmallow man out of the hat it is all burned and melted .

I've seen Russell play alot . He can shoot tight shots . He came to my home and with not much experience playing Avengers . Russell in one game on my Avengers LE made it to "Attack the Helicarrier" mini wizard mode . I thought he was going to beat my high score . Point is the man can shoot.

Guys, there's plenty of video showing how well it shoots. As
More come out I'm sure more reviews will bear out whether it's a keeper or whatever

Quoted from hank527:

Jpop game would still be getting designed with shots to no where. I think there was something at expo with lights one year that was sort of JPOP's vision, then it was trashed and retooled.

There was (there's even video of it), but it is not remotely even the same game. It did not flip, no coils
were working (or even attached?) and there was no way for the ball to get to certain shots. Hey, like Magic Girl! Literally a "box of lights". I quite liked the art style on it, but in retrospect it owes a lot to Circus Voltaire, and based on how AP redesigned the game
From scratch, the new art style
Fits quite a bit better.

Here it is:

Quoted from hank527:

Im so 50/50 on if I am getting this game. I want it but need GOTG to go or need to move something else.
I know the code is great and I like the challenging shots. My negative is I just do not tend to like one ramp games. I've owned a bunch and they never stay.
Rob Zombie is the only current exception.
Anyone else feel one ramp games suffer?

Dude, get rid of Batman! Lol

Quoted from Russell:

When I get additional information, I sometimes amend my thoughts...what do you do?

Very cool. We make the best decisions we can with the information we have at the time. Sometimes you get new information and it paints things in a different light. Doubling down in the face of new information leads to bad things...

Quoted from Puffdanny:

...but if it was my only game I would probably smash it to pieces.

LOL! That made me laugh. You may be right! I have put in about 10 games on the prototype (not the shipping version), and had a really long game at the Allentown show, the timer ran out. Just had one of those super lucky games. I really did not find the shots to be that tight. I'm going up to play it again on Sunday. At allentown had a really long conversation with Rosh and Balcer, and they were just going into so much detail, it made the game all that much more fun to know the behind-the-scenes (not the Jpop drama, but the engineering that went into it). That is for sure one of the reasons I'm so high on this game.
