I went to Ayce Gogi in Los Angeles to play some new stuff including Halloween and Ultraman. Well here goes, I didnt care for either Halloween or Ultraman. Both are simply..........not fun. A third of the playfield is the upper levels which honestly do not offer any exciting shots and just seemed confusing as what to do once you got up there. The rest of the playfield didnt offer much more. There are drop targets that are more irritating than fun to shoot that only clear the path to a few mediocre shots. No pops and the ball disappeared often and reappeared under the outlane plastics. I don't know, just didnt see the big deal in that and it doesn't add anything to the much needed excitement/fun. No call outs or animation worthy of a mention as it all seemed very amateur and repetitive(More Halloween than Ultraman with this). It was so repetitive at times I tried harder to hit the shots to make some video sequences stop. The sound and music wasn't much better and I couldn't imagine putting a high powered speaker set up in either game as there was no desire to hear any of it louder or with more bass.

I won't bother with the cab and artwork as everyone already knows those are both extremely pleasing to the eyes and well executed, but the game play itself was just flat out boring. I have a Godzilla Prem and considered getting Ultraman to go next to it, but after playing it I'll pass. Halloween was even more disappointing. We are building a "scary" themed part of our second game room and this game "should" fit in perfectly, but I definitely won't use up a space or cash on this game with any level of coding. I can see maybe at a much lower price point for anyone considering either of these two games but at their current price tag my personal opinion is to skip them altogether and get something better.

Still cheering Spooky on but these two are definitely a swing and a miss IMO. I'm sure others might find them entertaining and we all have certain aspects of a pin that we enjoy and find challenging but unfortunately I didnt find anything on either title worth the price of admission. My two cents deposited

Quoted from Hazoff:

There is no amount of programming that will fix the terrible layout and gameplay of these 2 pins.

This is a truth many don’t want to face

Quoted from Palmer:

Or maybe some people base their opinions off of real-life experiences? Perhaps play the game a couple dozen of times before judging. I know it is a crazy idea.

I played it for hours, still didnt like it, I that’s a crazy idea

I played it for hours along with Ultraman and THEN gave my review, maybe read all of the posts leading up to that comment, what a crazy idea
