So many threads on WOZ and some have noticed not that much on play. I think that would because a limited amount of people have actually played one very much in a home.
Here is a limited breakdown of what I like about the game so far.
1 - Flow
Yes the machine has flow. The ramp is a hoot to hit (way faster than TZ though they look the same). The right orbit to the pops feels like a very wide shot. Once it hits the trees I feel a sense of "It made it"! lolol. You can keep the ball moving pretty well. The game is not as stop and go as I thought it would be though it's not Tron either.
2 - Shots
So many places for the ball to go. If you just keep smacking the ball around your gonna get a lot of bounce of the rainbow targets. Their is plenty to do to keep you busy. Not has many shots from the upper right flipper as I would have thought but it still keeps the ball up longer. I also like how there is a sling type mech under the house facing the roll-over lanes. With great sound effects it's another added fun area I was not aware of before owning.
3 - Toys
The witch is cool and she is hit so much she's around more than I thought she would be. The mini playfields are simply awesome imo. early I thought they would be lame but, not so much. Hitting the castle targets and door is a blast and that little playfield is pitched so that ball wants to come out fast. You many not have noticed but their is also a little orbit up there that is pretty damn fun to hit as well. Yes, a mini-orbit on the mini Pf. The house Mini Pf is very fun too. It gets visitors attention very fast. The spinning in a twister effect is very well done. The Monkey is also cooler than I thought because it actually grabs your ball and moves it pretty darn fast and quietly. Great effect. I won't even go into the visual coolness of the crystal ball and the solid roller coaster type feel you get when the ball gets shot up and around it. One of my favorite visuals and feelings in the game. The state fair balloon is nice added bonus along with TOTO roll overs for added play.
- Over all gameplay
It's just fun. Between the sounds, lights, and toys you never seem to get bored with it. It is a blast to play. When the rules are more complete I can only imagine. The over the rainbow mode is extremely well done. Maybe the coolest multi-ball opening sequence ever made since TAF. The use of the monitor is so much more than I had imagined. I eagerly await what else Keith has up his sleeves for this baby. I also believe the more of you that play it for more than one game are going to want to own one. I truly think that.
- The big question
If I could only keep one game to date. Out of all the pins that I have gone thru and most of you know I have had a problem with swapping games quickly. WOZ is the one I would keep. I believe JJP is off to an amazing start and some can complain about the time and delays.... I get that I waited too. But, the final product is extremely cool and I can't wait for Hobbit now.
I realize I am not as code conscious as many of you but the code is early so I am not going to study every move at this point. Maybe my buddy Gweem can chime in on some code questions. I will answer anything I can and look for the answer if I can't. Gweem is very smart and learns games in and out fast. Because he KEEPS them..... I am getting better though.
