Both good games Star Wars has a good rule set but Aerosmith in my opinion has more cool toys and gimmicks then Star Wars so I personally would go with Aerosmith.

I have not played the Aerosmith game personally, but I do own Star Wars premium. True with a lot of new Stearns, stacking MBs is a common occurrence. The flow of this game is fast and fun, and the call-outs are great, in my opinion. There is a lot of video clips from the old Star Wars trilogy that makes it a ton of fun as well, especially if you're a SW fan. I personally prefer the SW premium for the hyperloop, although many enjoy the pro. True there may be less toys overall on the SW pf, but the game is very addictive, very fast and at times brutal, and for me there seems to be more than enough to do, and a lot of ways to do it. So I would give a thumbs-up to SW premium

Both are good games, but here in America the Aerosmith PRO would be around $1500 less money. It depends what you like, I like them both for different reasons.

I enjoy playing Aerosmith on location but for a home environment prefer Star Wars due to its far deeper objective based ruleset. Star Wars is now one Sterns best coded games and offers excellent use of licensed assets (video, voice and music).

Why are you comparing a pro to a premium?

From a purely artistic standpoint, Aerosmith destroys star wars in every way. Beyond that, I guess it's all personal opinion.

Fair enough for playfield and cabinet, a unique hand-drawn art package will win every time! The SW Premium and Pro translites are solid though. Aerosmith also has pretty janky LED screen animations, SW's LED animations aren't going to win any awards either, but the winner there is likewise debatable.

You sure you want to part with that MB? It’s one of the top machines of all time for a reason. If you’ve had enough of it, ‘nuff said, just would be a hard one to reacquire if you changed your mind.

Not the same layout. It doesn’t have to hold a candle to MM, it stands on its own merits dude!

Don’t want opinions? Then don’t ask for them.

I have AS pro and SW pro but have played SW prem quite a bit at 2 of my friends homes. Both games have their place.

Both themes are attractive to non-pinheads, however AS is easier for non-pinheads to pick up and progress through therefore they find it more fun. SW is fun and interesting theme-wise but they never seem to progress very far into the game and lose interest. I don't find either any more brutal, drain-wise.

For pinheads, I think SW has much more staying power. AS has fairly simple objectives and fewer strategies you can use. SW has far more strategy and is currently far deeper. I also find the objectives better tied into the theme. The light show is far and away better on SW. SW gives me the "you can execute that mode/shot/game better than that" feeling that makes me keep pressing start.

AS is due for a code update and if it is anything like what happened with GOTG, all bets are off on which is better.

Today if I could only have one, it would be SW.

Then stop talking about it!

SW Prem all the way

AS is pure and simple fun. I think the animations and art are brilliant. Locking balls and the risk/reward option of aborting MB to lock more balls never gets old. Great ramps and flow. Value-wise one of the best Pros ever.

Not a fan of SW. My least favorite modern Richie pin.
