Quoted from Hitch9:

The Hobbit has 4 programers working on it now, not two like in Woz. I watched Woz turn from a game that not many people liked, to something pretty special. I believe the code updates will be a lot faster with 4 people working on the game. I also remember a lot of people bitching about how Woz was set up, just like people saying that code won't fix the Hobbit. Pffft...
I just like the "feel" of Hobbit. I can still bail on it, as I only have a deposit on it, but I'm going through with it. I already like it, and I think when it is all said and done, it will have a real polished feel to it, Just like Woz is today. Heck, they have Keith Johnson and Ted Estes on it. Two of the greats. Pumped.

I hope you're right... I'd love to see the game become something special. I do wonder, tho... 3 years into development, you'd think the code would be basically done.

WOZ code was being finished and you can bet that they started Pat's game too. Add in pindemption and the time goes quick.

After more thought I'm going with BAD.

With the recent code update, I would say extremely good.

Played it at Allentown and as much as I want to like it, I just can't...... yet. It is beautiful and stunning to look at, but the game play seems sluggish and boring. The 4 L-O-C-K rollovers in the middle of the play field seem odd and change travel direction of the ball which I didn't care for either. Hoping maybe at some point I get some time on one in a home environment and it really clicks for me.
