ST is a good game, but has a few flaws that kept us from keeping it (we sold our LE recently)

- Mode purgatory. The two mode start shots are reasonably difficult, leading to lots of time spent not in modes. Boring play when all you're trying to do is trap up and hit one of the two flipper-tip shots just to progress the game along.

- Bones overload. The addition of all the Doctor's quotes really hurt the game, as many are said without much enthusiasm, and the mixing is louder so they stand out more. Plus there's just too damn many of them... almost starts to sound like the game is just about the good Doctor and nothing else.

- Mode similarity. More is not always better.. as others have said, the 18 modes have no personality, just different sequences of colored lights to hit. Compare to TWD with only five modes, but each one feels much more unique from the others.

OTOH, the multiballs are good, there's strategy in stacking certain modes with multiballs, the music is nice, and the shot flow is excellent.
