The game is ok and it's better if you like AC/DC. I don't like how you select a song, I would rather it just play when starting different modes which in some cases it does. The mini PF is pretty boring as well but overall the game has a pretty solid light show IMO. Metallica is the much better game for me if you are looking for a music style pin in this style of music.

very much overrated pin. game code still not finished. if you like the music, yes 10 points! but the rest gets boring very soon. canon makes game slow. not a top 20 pin.

a fan layout by Steve Ritchie but packed with an excellent fun factor and good deep ruleset from lyman.
the music is excellent ans the idea of jukebox a tremendous one.
unfortunately, the art is not as good as gameplay with an awfull photoshop-playfield style
overall, a very good pinball machine with a one more game feeling inside !

I owned this one for about 6 months. Great pin with lots of modes. Not a huge fan of the hell playfield below. Kinda boring. But the rest of the pin is fantastic.

Just picked up this game, a Premium, and I love it… I’m admittedly an AC/DC fan, so the music is easily a 10+ for me.
I enjoy the playfield with multiple ramps, the cannon, and the cool hells bell feature… it’s a great mix of old school with pop bumpers, drop targets, and some newer gimmicks mixed in.
The game is challenging and fun. The lower playfield doesn’t add a ton to the overall playability but this machine is awesome, IMO.

If you see it, play it, if you love loud rock music — I promise you’ll enjoy it.

Great toys in this game along with call outs. Nice animations on the matrix. Only thing I really don’t like is the lower play field. Probably played over a 1000 times but still can’t get to wizard mode as it’s very difficult in my opinion. I’ll get there one day.

Theme is Amazing. Big AC/DC fan. Love the Luci Artwork. This one is meant to be loud. Uneven scoring for War Machine compels me to play most of the game there rather than just playing and enjoying all the music. Otherwise this pin was incredibly well done. Wish I could buy one NIB still.

Choosing your song makes a big difference in how game scores and need to stick with one song to get a feel for how best to play. Still lots of fun to play. Hitting the bell is sweet and the cannon is cool too, although it takes some practice to time the shot. Can't wait to play it and would love to add it to my collection at some point.

This game again feels cheap and doesn't play very solid. Good theme though.

AC/DC meets pinball to create an amazing experience. The theme and music with this machine is great. The upper playing field you shoot into is different but not over the top cool. Shooting the ball into the jackpot is so rewarding. Artwork is great. I hope to own this machine one day and have a blast playing it every time.

Went to local pizza place in athens ga to play the game super fun. Great shots and multiball was crazy. A lot of different shots on the game. If I hit the bell I always lost the ball right down the center that is the only problem with the game that I had. Super fun and great sound.

I traded my TMNT pro for this.. was terrified to do it.. but i did. Well.. its a home run. Ritchie kills it again.. wicked ass game. The cannon is amazing.. lower playfield.. game code.. tons of drop targets to hit.. music is epic ( probably helps best concert i went to was in edmonton when there was a thunderstorm in the pooring rain and they started thunderstruck while angus laid on the catwalk spinning in circles doing a solo in a puddle ) Solid.. great.. amazing. game. End of story.

Typically music themed pins have lost interest for me fast, However AC/DC has proven to be the exception. I still enjoy and like playing it at the end of a long day. More so than some of my other pins. The speed and flow is fast and challenging. Its not an easy pin and likes a little more aggressive play with bumping and nudging. I am not a great player, but it keeps me coming back and is more rewarding when you have a good game than less deep pins I own, The music is well integrated and great, the shot variance by song keeps it also interesting. Artwork is a little weak compared to Luci version. Some mods including lighting improves the experience. One of the better machines I have owned over the years, and I understand why people like it. Happy to have it in my collection. Its deserving to be a top 20 game.

One of the best music pins that really integrates the pin with the music. Love the Cannon and the Bell. Prefer the Luci Premium art but overall, a great pin that is fun to play with great song choices.
