I love them both. Not every B/W game was a hit, and not every Stern game is a hit. But a game like TWD....not sure which B/W game can hold a candle to it. But when I play Shadow, there is more elegance and the feel of the game is more robust. It's hard to explain - but again - I love them both for different reasons.

Quoted from tampa12:

Consider a couple of the best game designers from Williams now work for Stern in a way there's a little Williams left in some Stern Pinball machines like Black Knight.

Actually...most of them did/do.

Quoted from Veemonroe:

In general, the modern Sterns seemed to be designed to give a 'quest' or 'story' experience akin to a video game RPG whereby progressing seems to be about spending prolonged periods making multiple relatively easy shots in the correct order to advance a sequence of story 'modes'.

Wait until you play a JJP game.
