The music and artwork are very good. The game is lacking in number of shots and the upper Playfield it's not the best. Overall of the newer Stearns this game is definitely closer to the bottom than the top. The Playfield layout it is not very innovative like Jurassic Park, Avengers, and others.

This is a really good game. Rules are deep. The toy box and elevator are pretty cool.

Toy box is a great toy, but gets old fast. I had this in my collection and after 3 months I was bored with it. Too bad, I love Aerosmith, but just doesnt have the lastibility of MET or AC/DC.

Playfield shots and ramps make this game fun. Music is the best!

I really don’t like the artwork. Too cartoony for my taste. But the game has variety and challenge. I go back every time I see it.

One of the best multi-ball modes out there as I love the flip of the balls into the chest. However, the rest of the game is a bit boring.

This is my least favorite of the newer music pins despite being an Aerosmith fan. The ultra-cartoony artwork is a turnoff for me.
I also feel that this is one of the better sterns made in the "pro" model comparative to the LE.

Such a fun game. Yes it’s not as deep as some others but it’s more fun. They could have used more songs. I put my Bluetooth speaker on top of the machine and play some of my favorite Aerosmith songs, especially Dream On. I love the band. I think you need to love the theme first and then the gameplay in the pinball world. Buy games that you like the theme of and it will last longer in your collection.

I think this pin has a lot going for it. Really good music, great animations, a nice sense of humor, and one of the all time greatest ball locks EVER!!!! Not a really big fan of how this game shoots... I just couldn't ever truly get dialed in. Again, part of that is play better, but most of shots are just different from what I am used to aiming for and going for. Its a nice unique playfield and a decent rule set. I like that you can stack the light locks. And I like the risk reward for MB. What I don't like is the unique rule set for each song... I rather you enter modes for the songs, but pick a song to listen to when you're not in a mode like Iron Maiden. As there are some songs I like better, but hate the modes... While I really like the music, I think the callouts are really weak. But, the animations are funny, cheeky, sexy, and cool... Really topnotch animations. The upper playfield doesn't add too much to it... But, it does have some risk reward to it, as you don't want it to fall down the ramp and risk a drain, but going for the standups and upper loop, or even elevator and getting a lock are a nice feature. Fun game, and perhaps it could be in my collection one day... If I have a 50 pin collection.

One of the best music pins to come out! Awesome job goes to John Borg and Stern.Game play is smooth and the artwork by Dirty Donny is one of the best. I was never a fan of the music pins and now I have 3 music games.
Aerosmith is going to be classic.

This has a ton of potential if the game code gets a good update. Just gets old and boring after a while. I have a large collection and most likely wont ever sell it but that being said it's still a great pinball and come on it Aerosmith!!

Super fun game. My two favorite aspects of the game are probably the artwork and the toys (mechanical action.) I love the way the ball gets launched into the toy chest and the start of multiball with Jacky shaking is super cool as the pinballs pour out of the toy box. The upper playfield with the elevator is one of the best upper playfields I've seen. It's great having to backhand the targets there and then have to have the ball run off your flipper to make the shot to the right. I'm not a huge Aerosmith fan but the songs in the game are definitely some classics and I really like the animations that were done, such a huge improvement in the fun factor over DMD games. All around a super fun game that doesn't get talked about a lot. ONE thing I would like to see better utilized is the "smart" button on the lockdown bar although Stern has been saying another code update is coming at some point so we'll see.

Worse version of KISS. Shallow rules and a terrible upper pf - Pro is much better.

Fun game with unbelievable art from dd. Really looks excellent. Not crazy about the theme, but it’s ok. Not a fan of the upper playfield, and I don’t believe that it is worth the extra money. Do like the purple cab though.

Cool Stern band game with great art and a good layout. The cramped upper playfield is kind of weird. Stern LEs have taught me for the most part I like my games without mini playfields.

Played at local pin museum quite a few times. The game is ok but not super fun. The toy box lock was one of it’s cooler points and I enjoyed it. The flow was ok but not super smooth. I like sterns lcd back box but not a fan of the cartoon images they went with on AS. The lighting was decent as all new games are so nothing special. If I come across it in the wild I will play once or twice but I would never buy for home use. I’m not a super fan of Aerosmith but I do like some of their songs.
