LOL - I hope you don't get too many down votes by the 'can't take a joke' crowd.

Simple - it's an IGN review

The suspense is killing me - I hope it doesn't last.

Anyway, I am going to go play pinball for a bit and grab and early dinner to pass the time.

Here is my initial thoughts.

Wonka feels much like WOZ to me. The music, the LCD, the play field is loaded to the point of almost cluttered, and has the same kind of music, dings, and chimes. And like WOZ if full of amazing theme integration and color. I think the two pins are the most similar in theme and sound - though WOZ sounds more like - well - WOZ.

As I watch though I can't stop thinking that Hobbit is still the king of epic music, modes and movie asset integration. Smaug mech is awesome by turning to the ball, and player, actually 'talking' and breathing fire. The music in hobbit is unique and awesome on every mode, has tons of integration with the film in the sound, callouts, and movie footage. Smaug MB has a great startup effect, and killing him is one of the most satisfying shots and effects in all of pinball. The hobbit - and I get is from a 'kids' book - is still a pretty cool theme. Killing dragons, orcs, spiders, trolls - and the Gandalf call outs are pretty freaking spot on. The book, which I wasn't a fan of initially, does a great job showing the timer and clearly stating the next shot in the mode. I would really love to have a WOZ or Wonka - but I think Hobbit is the most fun to shoot and listen to

The game looks great for a Wonka theme to be honest. JJP machines, especially WOZ and Wonka, have the amusement park feeling of wonder and amazement with a classic 'movie magic' tone. WOZ and Wonka are good for the way they like to make pins. And I expect Toy Story will be much of the same - and well done in its own right.

Hobbit and POTC seem to be in the middle and a tad more 'modern'ish pinball theme, and it is nice they have an original theme in DI.

Though, now I am very much wanting to see what they would do with GNR. More so, I would like to see a more edgy game from JJP - dare I say horror theme? Maybe a science fiction theme like Dune (the new movie that is being made) or Stranger Things. Anything with more edge would be nice to see.

Probably good to give it a rest on this one - and bring it back on Toy Story for the claw machine.
