Kind of weird they went so blue on the playfield. Doesn’t match the red/black warm coloring of the previous games, or even the cabinet of this one.

Scared Stiff might be a little light on rules but it’s gorgeous and fully theme integrated. This one just seems overly busy art wise without any unifying tone.

In contrast the playfield seems empty. Maybe it has hidden depths I can’t see.

Local op here is probably going to take a pass after the dismal earnings of Munsters and first impressions. Can’t say I blame him.

I’d still like to know why the playfield is so blue. It clashes with everything else.

Reminds me of MB, but MB was consistently blue so it goes together. Why is this red on the outside but blue inside?

Contrast with SS. Note the overall red tone and good detail without going overboard and consistency with the cabinet and backglass.

The art itself seems fine overall. The “promium” side art is vastly inferior to the LE mostly due to color and readability. The color scheme is throwing me off I guess.

I think the digital artwork is actually doing pinball a disservice because the restrictions of screenprinting lead to less busy art. Less is more.

Won’t comment on the gameplay until I try it. It’s probably fun. I hope to god they give it the same cheeky and fun feeling as the previous games.
