Video & callouts at Pintastic made me want to grab one for the collection (X-Men was going anyway). I figured if I liked it I would move to the Premium down the line & if I didn't it wouldn't be hard to trade/sell.

1st impressions after a few games,

Game is FAST, think GOT or Iron Man. I think they had it too steep at the shows and that made it seem even faster & a drain monster.

Skill shot is weak, you almost always hit the middle stand up target. My 1st thought after seeing it was the skill was going to be the drop targets (like LAH).

Ramps are smooth, left ramp is almost exactly like Star Trek Alpha ramp.

Right scoop is like Metallica Fuel but on the right side and it's a scoop.

Tie fighter loop is cool and controllable if game is level & you know its coming.

Stand up targets are the biggest drain danger.

Code seems pretty far, bunch of characters to choose & choices within the characters. Seems like there is room to add to both of those things.

I like toys, but the lack of them is making me pay more attention to what shots I need to hit & advance. Game does well telling where it wants you to go. It makes me want to slow the ball down & control it more. Usually I'm more a run & gun player who doesn't pay much attention to the rules.

Video clips & music like I said earlier was the hook for me, so far it seems like a good amount especially this early, REALLY hope there's more to come.

Scoring seems silly high, I'm not sure what a good score is at this point.

As far as earning on route, I would think just on ball times alone this will bring in the $$$. Waiting to play SW & Dialed In at the show you could see how the SW line moved and DI took awhile due to a big difference in ball time (torture while in line).

Star Wars definitely has that 1 more game feel like Iron Man to me (so far). My daughters friend who was here earlier just texted her to see if she was awake because she wanted to come back & play SW again..
