Quoted from delt31:yeah I hear you on a diverter technically being a mech but I just don't classify it as a primary mech that brings you into the world underglass. Mechs are like the dino in JP, the spinning house in WoZ. Something that visually wows you. I think it's prob the best feature for this game but that's telling imo.
I remember people complaining that the spinning house was not a good toy as it doesn't interact with the ball. At least the divertors do. I would say the guy with the tommy gun shooting at you is similar to the spinning house, perhaps a bit cooler with the lighting effects.
But yes, toy light compared to WOZ. Theme integration looks top notch and there is the lighting too.
