Just pulled the trigger on an LE, when the pictures first came out I was disappointed (didn’t care for the playfield art and just found the whole machine underwhelming). However, after seeing the game in person I have to say the LE is absolutely stunning. There are a lot of cosmetic extras that really make the game pop. The code does seem shallow at this point compared to ACDC, but I have a feeling SR will make sure ST gets the attention it deserves.

I think this game was pumped up for so long and the anticipation was so high that people were bound to be disappointed regardless of what the machine was. I know I had preconceived notions as to what I wanted ST to be. I was ready to be disappointed with it, but was pleasantly surprised after I played it. ST is much more fun to play than it is to watch.

I can’t wait to start MODing this one, have several ideas already.
