I like my WPT, I can't see it going anywhere soon. Assuming they were equal prices, I would still pick it over a TSPP. At half the price... no brainer.

Art package isn't the best (and that's being charitable...) but the modes are fun/challenging, lots of strategy... and greedily setting up a 3x multiplier with an opportunity for a big payoff is fun, whether you make or blow the shot

Quoted from sturner:

But it does feel like a title that was hamstrung by budget issues and there is only so much a talent like Ritchie can do to overcome that.

What budget issues do you see other than art? Deep rules, tonnes of mechanisms (big LCD display under playfield, playable upper playfield, a billion drop targets, metal ramps and wireforms... four flippers!). If this screams budget to you, you must be comparing it to WoZ

If you can find a WoZ for the going rate of a WPT... then jump on it.

Good video going over some of the strategy:
