I think it is fun to shoot. Code is still too early to really decide. I really enjoy the top ring, but as Mike said, they NEED to get the slammers and flippers seperated so they both do not flip together all the time. SO annoying.
I think they are doing a nice job of putting good tunes in to a non music pin. The theme intergration is done well also and the long term call on overall game quality will rest firmly on what they do with the code and how creative the ring is used. If they do enough fun modes and make the ring have different objectives then it wil be great. Currently it dos not have much depth. There is some scoring strategy for when to pin vs exit from a side and also te show boating specials post pin.
I hope they also code in so the bonus count up can be bypassed by holding both flippers post drain.
