Quoted from Krupps4:I think the heads on Road Show playfield have a creep factor that’s not supposed to be creepy like Rudy was supposed to be creepy in Funhouse. They just look weird. It just seems like Road Show was an attempt to capitalize on the success of Funhouse and failed to do so in the way that was intended. For that, I vote for NGG
Never thought about it that way but you are right. Roadshow feels like someone else besides Lawlor designed it and raided the parts bin at B/W. Things just don't feel like they were designed with much purpose. It's still decent fun to play but can be extremely annoying. NGG has better theme integration and a lot more fun imo.
