Quoted from Whysnow:

Sad to see so many people saying RS.
After RobT not shutting up about what a great game it is I finally purchased one and will be picking it up in 2 weeks.
I sure hope it does not give me the meh feeling. I honestly do not know the game very well but like the layout and am very excited to learn a new game. I also love Lawlor designs and am looking forward to the widebody!

Roadshow is, IMHO, Funhouse 2.0 It's a great Lawlor design with some very interesting shots on it.

My biggest problem with the game is the country music, especially the Post-jackpot Carlene Carter stuff. Many people also do not like that the modes are so linear. There are three different routes through the USA, but you always start with either NewYork or Miami and work your way down the modes from there.

We've had a few of them over the years. Currently we have one I plan to keep.

Quoted from Deaconblooze:

I think people get burnt out on RS because of how linear it is. I honestly can't stand starting out at NY every single ball, so I forego the skill shot, try to get some multipliers until I get the city to change.
It would be nice if someone would rework that code to make the city selectable in some other way. Still, there are times I do like progressing through the country. It makes those western cities that much more intense because of how infrequently I make it that far.
I like the music for the most part, save the Carlene Carter multiball song...
I'd have to choose Gorgar as my own personal "meh". I really wanted that game, loved the art, got it, and was disappointed at how it actually played.

Um, the cities *are* selectable in Roadshow. Check out the color of the ring around the next three city's inserts. Then hit a target that is that color. Presto, you've just switched to that city.
