I believe the Hobbit will easily fit into a new and different category of game than any of its predecessors. Granted, it has a playfield and pinballs, but with its two LED screens, extraordinary art, and non-looping music, it simply does not fit into the same concept or category as GOT, MM, or any other game before it. If this will become a "player's game" remains to be seen. However, it represents both an acknowledgement to previous legacy games as well as the best current example of innovation and not simply stagnant complacency. The bottom line is that this game should be viewed from and judged from a different perspective and a different level of expectations. In short, the game has changed.

WOZ and AC/DC are both outstanding games but for different reasons. The music in AC/DC, the edgy tone, and some of the specific shots are top notch. With a headphone jack and upgraded lighting, AC/ DC
borders on orgasmic. WOZ beckons to a different crowd, perspective, and demographic. My non-pinball nerd, high powered corporate sister owns a WOZ. The game has beautiful lighting, an innovative LED screen, two upper playfields, and outstanding art. I suspect only a few Pinsiders would value a WOZ and AC/DC equally. Personally, I covet both.
