Seems like the "kudos" for R&M is the "theme immersion" (callouts and video clips from the show). I'd rather have the gushing praise and kudos be for gameplay, smooth shots, flow and fun factor. If I want complete theme immersion, well then I'll watch the actual show and be fully immersed.
$25,000 is lot to pay for TV show clips playing on a monitor inside a pinball machine.
