I have owned or own all of the best games. NEVER has a game had a bigger impact on me, my family, my friends and even my neighbors. It makes every game in my collection look dated INSTANTLY! I have the BIB LE and, first of all, it is stunning to look at. The mirrored backglass, the cabinet colors and art, the playfield, the powder coated trim with chrome inserts, all come together even more beautifully than Tron or MM.

Now, the sound. Again, NEVER has a game sounded better out of the box. The upgraded speakers, 12" subwoofer, call outs by Steve Ritchie himself, and sound effects like the bell all come together incredibly to be the best sounding machine of all time. No excuses should be made for "old technology." There is no category for "I hate the music" so this has to rank as the best sounding game of all time.

The full LED effect again makes for the best lighted game out of the box of all time. The different light shows for modes and multiballs has never been better.

Again, I am a broken record, but the toys are awesome and appropriate for the game. The bell, awesome. The band, corny, but awesome. The cannon, awesome. TNT, awesome. Lower playfield, slightly cloudy with a chance of rain, but awesome.

The gameplay is fast and furious. Choosing a song and mode before you start is a total game changer for the future of pinball.

No other game has ever gotten almost 300 plays in 2 days in my home. Got a minty AFM THE SAME DAY and it has been totally ignored. That's a fact!

This rating is for BIBLE - I hate music pins. This game blows my mind. The lighting is incredible. The sound is the best I have heard on any pin, seriously. When you make the lower PF orbit...that is the best sound effect I have ever heard. Makes you want to do it over and over. The cannon is very cool. Shot layout will never get boring. Really easy to tell what you are supposed to be shooting for. The bell is a great toy and the toll sound is perfect. I will boil it down for you old heads...If there were three pins in the room, MM AFM and AC/DC LE, you would play the AC/DC over and over

This is based on the LE version of the game. The bell shot is terrible, the mini-playfield is not fun, the rules are a little weak, but the theme and sound are top notch!! Hearing the same AC/DC songs over and over and over again sucks after a while though and I'm a huge AC/DC fan. The artwork is another meh photoshop job. Not bad, but not good either. I'm a big mode based game fan and this game is not that. The rules aren't terrible, but I don't really like how they are put together based on the song chosen...the objectives are a little unclear. The lighting is very good with the LEDs. They are not overpowering as many feared. Overall this is a good quarter eater on location, but not enough here for a home game IMO.

Finally got to play the hell out of BIBLE. I kept coming back for more. Love the bell, cannon, train, and music selection. The lower playfield is fun too if you can get to it

My ratings are based on only 2 hours on an LE, but I was so blown away by this game that I had to rate it right away. The sound and lighting are better than any game that has ever come out of the box. The jukebox with 12 song choices and game modes may forever change pinball. The flow is awesome. The bell rocks. The lower play field is fast and fun. The cannon is just a little obtrusive, but you will get over it, because it is just plain cool. This game will break the top 15 over time. Buy an LE while you can get one for $6k.

based on LTBR LE
Stunning looking and sounding game
Very deep rule set
Great toys with the bell and cannon
Super fast and the novice will struggle
As most of these will be HUO,it will be hard for most to play,unfortunately

Totally different game than the pro model

I got to play AC/DC LE one time on my way out of Texas Pinball Festival and I'll say that I ended the festival on a high note! Obviously I didn't have the slightest idea of what I was doing and the game didn't go out of its way to help me out. Apparently each song has particular playfield shots and features that get bonus scoring for completing or repeating. I have a feeling that in competition someone will have a strategy based around one song in particular that is most efficient and that'll be the only song anyone hears coming from an AC/DC machine ever again. So the rules might not be the greatest, or maybe they're great I dunno really, but the lightning and sound are the best I've seen and heard in any pinball machine. The artwork on the playfield is pretty decent but not especially great. Good flow and the under playfield is tough, the shot to hit loops is on the extreme tip of the flippers. I thought it was fantastic game but the price tag, wow.
