Quoted from harryhoudini:

I have a soft spot for WOZ, my first JJP and my first real modern game. Plus the first real modern game I was able to play. I love the theme, the integration of assets and the deep ruleset. I am always learning new things and getting excited about my play. DI is a decent game but the overall theme lacks a bit in general excitement and engagement. Pirates does a great job of extending rulesets and making variations on the game but I am disappointed that a deep licensed game like this is missing real movie assets. It's sort of half baked in that way, I mean who wouldn't expect Johnny Depp to show up on a POTC game? I had high hopes for Wonka but seeing the gameplay on video I am a little underwhelmed. Maybe it's the cutbacks for making a $7500 game, not sure why exactly I am underwhelmed but I took my Wonka money and put it towards a POTC and am happy I did. For some reason I am finding POTC playfield and lighting lacking a bit in comparison to WOZ. Maybe WOZ is just special to me but the light show it puts on is way more interesting, bright, exciting than POTC. POTC feels more like a Stern game to me in that regard. I am not a fan of Hobbit the movie in general so the game doesn't strike a chord with me and have only played it a few times.

WOZ is just a very special game that rekindled the pinball industry to it's next level of excellence which enabled games like POTC to be born. Kind of like what I remember High Speed did when it came out way back then (yes I'm pretty old!).
