WOZ - beautiful game - clunky game play, mini pf is underwhelming to the point I don't want to use it.
JJPOTC - Underwhelmed me and I'm a huge POTC fan. (love the swamp shot and 3rd flipper). Every single time I hit the shot (whatever it's called) where the post comes up and the ball bounces around, when the post drop the ball went SDTM. Not to mention the clear coat issue happening ....yikes.
TH - it's different than LOTR (I own both) in several regards to it being a wide body slowing action, it has a 3rd flipper so you're not always waiting for the ball to return to the flippers, killing smaug is WAAAAY freaking harder than destroying the ring, 31 modes needing to be finished to make it to TABA making it way deeper (thus making it LOTR 2.0). People who hate TH either disliked the movies and/or haven't played with the latest code. It's truly a great game. IMHO having to make the ball slightly leave the right flipper to then backhand it to Ratagast is one of the most satisfying shots in pinball. It's too bad you can't do the same with the left flipper to hit Balin without jacking up the coil voltage and then dealing with the ball leaving the hobbit trail. Dislikes - damn rollovers are too high and it feels like the E and N drop targets can't be hit with a direct flipper shot - feels like you have to wait for a rogue ball to hit them.

With all due respect - why should you then judge any machine not knowing what it's fully capable of? It's kind of a double standard don't you think? Play pinbal get better - go further. That's just how it works.
