I don’t have FG, but I own Shrek. It’s one of our favorites. Same layout design, different art package and theme. We love the design. The shots and flow are pretty good, especially hitting the right orbit to the upper flipper shot under the upper playfield, the far upper left stand up that drops the metal ramp guard, and the main left ramp. The mini pinball game is silly to some, but we like it. The reason we like it is, it’s essential to achieving one of the main modes - Stewie multiball (Donkey mb on ours). I think the variety of shots is good, and if you like FG and that humor, all the better.

I would trade a DH for a nice FG. We have a few different pins and we play Shrek a lot. It’s a decent pin.

There is no real objective answer to the question - which is better, FG theme or Shrek theme? They are themes. It depends on what each person likes better. Can we know which is better, cheeseburgers or pizza?

I personally think the design is decent, with some interesting shots and the mini pinball game is innovative. Now they use versions of it under the playfield in AC/DC and Munsters. Also, Color DMD did fantastic work on Shrek. It’s one of the best color DMDs I’ve seen.
