I played it a few times at the TPF.

1) Great looking game! They did a fantastic job with the theme, graphics, and cabinet design. I would like to have this game just to look at it.

2) Too easy to play. I'm not a great player but I could keep a ball in play much longer than I'm used to for a real EM. Even though that sounds like it should be a positive, the game difficulty felt like it was dumbed down for bad players. It just felt weird to play each ball so long on an EM without using any typical EM skills like nudging or planning shots. Especially with the old fashioned shorter flippers.

3) The score reels appeared to be the stepper motor driven type, which I understand for modernization. But it totally lacked the real EM look and hard sound of the sudden advance jolt of the scoring numbers as they are counted. The score reels moved smoothly and slowly. I miss the deliberate action and sound of a real EM score reel.

4) A very fast action game. The power of all the pops and slings are definitely higher than conventional EM's. Does make for a very lively game which is different.

Overall it looks like an EM but doesn't feel like an EM.
But it looks great!
