I love all 4!

If you want something totally different than any of your games, go for WH2O or RS. Super light-hearted, a bit rednecky, tons of personality and very unique and fun layouts.

If you really really love the depth of LOTR and TZ and want something in that zone, go for TSPP.

STTNG is incredible, but if you don't know the show, some of it will be lost on you. It's another widebody - but it's entirely different than TZ. Lawlor vs. Ritchie.

Quoted from drshaw:

So STTNG is leading the votes thus far. What's the main attraction or what makes the game good for those of us who haven't seen the show. Is it the shots, the rules, the modes, the toys?
Is the downside to TSPP because it's so similar to LOTR? Themes couldn't be more different (comedy vs drama) but they both have a deep ruleset and long ball times? Is it also similar to TZ?

STTNG has great flow, combos, light shows, music...it has CANNONS! It just has a lot of cool stuff going on, from the unique launch wireform, to the way it handles balls under the playfield to pop it up to different spots, relatively instantly (there's usually one waiting to pop out, so - one it, the other out). Buncha modes, a cool Multiball....it's just a great game. Liking the them just takes it even higher.

TSPP is nothing like LOTR other than its depth. Like LOTR you need to play it for a long time to see all it has to offer...and you'll most likely never see the final wizard mode anyway lol. Design is totally different, tone is totally different. If you like the discovery of LOTR...always finding new and interesting things about it...getting better, playing longer, and discovering MORE new and interesting things, then you'll really like TSPP. Just depends if you wanna keep going with what you like (which doesn't necessarily mean it's too similar), or if you want to go totally out of your box for something different.

Quoted from Astropin:

I've never seen a STTNG with a gray playfield?
Mine is purple with blues and reds......etc....

The Enterprise is gray....and the sling plastics, cannons. *shrug*
