hi all,
i just played it today at the pinball hall of fame in vegas. its pretty awesome. the ramps are TOUGH, but manageable. this might be borg's best design IMO. honestly, the playfield is really well designed. it is obvious that it took some real work to get the shots all tuned in to play right. it is PACKED! stacked ramps, saucers, a spinner, three flippers, inner loop etc...
I am not in love with the theme, but i did watch the show growing up. to me, there is very little assets from the show, but the animations they created and voice overs are well done in any case. very well done. the music is awesome! the art is SPECTACULAR! i really appreciate this game, and i think it will be a hit for years. i have no idea on the rules yet, obviously, but the initial three or four games were a real rush. you have to be on your game to play this well. very fast and demanding game for a player. I love the dump ramp to the upper flipper; it is a real treat to have that. All told, this game is the complete package. the pro i played seemed very packed for a pro, especially compared with IMDN and BKSOR. I hope stern continues in this direction with including dozens of features in their games it makes a decision to buy easy. I might have one of these someday, really, especially if JJP flopps with GNR;
