    Quoted from vikingerik:

    Nobody mentioned the entire playfield on Houdini yet? Every single shot is both impossibly narrow and at a weird off-kilter angle somehow.

    Worst playfield decision twofer: no whitewood created as part of design and should have been a widebody game!

    Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

    Naah - it wouldn't have been fun as a widebody. The shots can take some getting used to, but it's like any other game - spend some time dialing in the shots and you can nail them

    I owned a Houdini, played it a bunch, and enjoyed it overall actually. It still would have been more fun as a widebody though.

    American Pinball developed the game and brought it to market amazingly fast. Too fast I think in retrospect. Ideally, they should have analyzed and refined the layout and shots more.
