Yeah I expected more choreography between the music and the action on the playfield. Had my wallet out before tonight, but I'm putting it back in my pocket for now. Let's see how this one develops first.

Says the dude who slighted ESL folks and people with dyslexia. FOH

Finally played it on location today with the latest code. (Thanks @norcalrealtor) There's still a disconnect between the LCD, theme, and what you're doing on the playfield. Hearing lines from the movie script while seeing some other video on the screen while hitting the ball around to complete a mode ... just doesn't gel well together right now.

That said, though the shots are tight, they feel satisfying when you hit them. I'm digging the layout. Artwork is awesome. Groot head/mouth/lock/multiball is a nice gimmick, as is the playfield magnet.

After my short 6 game session, I was pleasantly surprised. While still a bit disjointed, it's definitely not as bad as everyone was making it out to be. (Maybe because of the latest code? I dunno.)

My takeaway? Not worth a buy for a home collection at this moment, but not bad either. I'll be watching (and playing on location) as the code progresses... Keeping it on the "maybe" list for now.

TKDalumni That duo looks great together! I see you have a GOT next to them. Any chance you can post a pic of the 3 together? I currently own a SW and a GOT, and am am considering GOTG to make it a trio, if the code matures nicely.
