I agree with PersonX99, pinball enjoyment is subjective, like music or art. Everyone has there thing, occasionally I can enjoy a good slow EM, on some days these modern new Sterns are just, well, too fast. Faster is not always better. I may be biased because I am a strong fan of anything Alien, but I didn't see anything specific that was "just terrible" looking at it in online vidoes. I think the sound is good. I like the colors and lighting. Is there something horrible about the gameplay?...I don't think anyone can really judge that until it's played, and more than once. Hasn't everyone had one bad game out of the gate trying a new pin they have never played before?

I'm terribly biased. Anything Alien is good.
