I think I would play and enjoy any pinball over not playing at all.
With that said I had the opportunity to play Transformers recently. Admittedly, I only played a few times but at a location with many other pins to choose from this game felt clunky. I really enjoyed the theme and speed of the game. Other than that for me there are many other pins that can hold my attention longer.
Not long after I finished playing I watched another player nail a high score.
It looked fun then.
