CC LE is a fun game to play that will keep you coming back for an another game. Can’t wait for the new code to come out to really complete this classic pin.

Love the drop targets, but its ruleset doesn’t match up with the other great WMS fans of this era

Great remake with amazing lights and sound.

One of the best looking games around. I owned an LE and I enjoyed a lot but this game is just so easy I could not keep it. The topper is one of the nicest I have seen. The whole package just screams great quality. I put this in the same level as Monster Bash for the basic code and how easy it is to play and complete.

Cactus Canyon is that game that is just fun and easy to understand. The theme is amazing for me and doesn't take an encyclopedia to understand the ruleset. The optional backglass is gorgeous. The game isn't as easy as some say but all depends how you set it up. Definitely my favourite B/W game just ahead of AFM. Enjoy Pilgrims!

This game is a favorite of the family its just so easy to understand and the shots are easy to find for most players . This game may not be the right choice for someone looking for deep code but wow is it a great time. Someday we may even see some updated code.
Lock is lit and so am I ……..

Titolo bello da vedere ed in realtà anche da giocare.purtroppo il codice scadente e la facilità lo rendono inadatto alle piccole collezioni.è comunque un tema generico che mette allegria e non invecchia mai.avessi la possibilità e lo spazio per più di 10 macchine lo acquisterei di sicuro in sieme agli altri 3 di Chicago gaming.

CCR LE Remake did not last very long in my line up. I felt like it was almost too easy at times (and I am not a great player by any means). There is definitely Chicago Gaming lovers out there, but I realized that I am just not one of them. The theme integration was great and it was definitely a family friendly game, but in retrospect, that is one that I wish I would not have boughten. The various scenes and show downs start to get old quickly and for the money, there are other games I would of rather spent my money on.

This is an amazing game, and that goes for all versions - even the original from 1998! A great theme, wonderful animation and good shots! Definetly recommend playing any version of this game if you ever come across it!

One of the most simplest games and fun for non pinball aficionados.

Very surprised that this old game is so much fun

This is a game thats great in a line up and poor in a single machine line up.

The code is shallow and you'll hit the wizard with minimal effort. The music variation is poor and the music gets pretty old fast.

Honestly I'm not sure why this game is sitting so high in the charts. I got bored of mine within 3 weeks.

Just not my game. Was excited to play and love the topper making a pistol grab and shooting. Overall play feels dated and a little clunky. If you are looking for a kids game, this is it. Very cheeky with animations an play

97/100

Very funny and fluid game! The best I have seen such a long time!

What a cracker of a game love it !

The remake is a classic!

Purchased the LE and yes it is a gorgeous looking game but not gorgeous enough for me to make up for the really narrow rule set and lack of shots. Quality of the game itself is high but there is just nothing that would make me come back for more after 50 games or so. On location I would likely choose something else as well but for home it was just a sleeper for me. Sorry. I still love my AFM and this looked great next to it but looks are not everything.

Absolute FUN !!!!

Super Fun game also Super easy with some super simple code. I feel it would get boring as a home pin but really fun to play on location

Had this machine for a couple of months now. I find it to be a fun game with unique mechanics. I am excited when and if the new code and module come out.

Owned for 6 months, couldn’t stand it anymore. Nowhere near a top 20 game. Great build quality but game lacks lots of something , I think that’s why it was culled in 1999; not to make room for Pin2000. Put lipstick on a pig it’s still just a pig

Smooth shots and lots going on but somehow I got bored with it after a few games. And it’s too easy which is a dealbreaker for home use.

I love the theme, I love the art, I love CGC quality, I love the topper but the game to me is just ok. While it's fun to play and I will always play on location, I would not buy this game as there is not enough to keep me engaged longer term. New code next summer may change things but we shall have to wait and see.

My adjusted settings (A MUST) are posted below my review.

I thought Cactus Canyon would be an "okay" game that wouldn't last long. I was wrong! After some much-needed adjustments, it has become a classic B/W game worth keeping in my collection.

DESIGN
__________________________________________________

-- The skill shot can be fun. I wish the rewards were different, but it can still be fun and challenging.
-- The playfield is a fan layout with a jump-bash toy on the middle-right side, which generally works well.
-- It is a stop-and-go game for sure, but I don't find the flipper posts and drop targets (gun fights) redundant.
-- This game forces you to utilize all of the shots in the game, both the easy and difficult. This is great.
-- I find that if you're not on your game, it can be a post-fest. On the other hand, it can have great flow.
-- The game employs clever use of pass-throughs and stops for the loops. These changes can/will offer surprising speed.
-- The pops are put to good use in this game, which is refreshing. You need them for your bonus x lanes.
-- The topper is probably the best in pinball. I've not seen one that's better. The integration is like a video mode but better.

__________________________________________________
THEME/LIGHTING/SOUND
__________________________________________________

-- This is where this machine shines: the theming and integration are absolutely wonderful.
-- The callouts are done by excellent voice actors and have a ton of humor.
-- The lighting is good, and the change with Bionic Bart is cool.
-- They've done a great job in using all the cliché music and sounds from duster movies.

GAMEPLAY (Remake code)
__________________________________________________

-- The modes are quick, like many games of the era, but each is pretty fun to play.
-- The progression is quick in this game, so your always thinking about completing small tasks that lead to big ones.
-- I really enjoy the gunfights and quick draws. They are crazy dangerous, always feeding you risk/reward
-- Goldmine multiball has a very simple design but its soooo effective. Nail the jackpots then get the motherload.
-- Overall, I love the sheriff badge of achievements: you have five things to get done, a good variety.

__________________________________________________
CRITICISMS
__________________________________________________

-- My biggest gripe isn't code; it's a lack of adjustments. You can't adjust difficulty for modes, MBs, skill shot etc. etc.
-- Stampede multiball could be a little more interesting and complex.
-- After you beat Bionic Bart, the Bart Pit offers nothing. It's a dead toy after that. It should reset like other modes do.
-- While the sounds are great, they do lack in variety. There could be way more.
-- I wish the train was used way more. It's a big toy and barely used.
-- Surprisingly, that's about it... It's mainly just missing adjustments, which is a pretty big problem.

To wrap up, if you're thinking about getting Cactus Canyon, I'd say go for it. If you're a newb, it's a great as-is. If you're not a newb, you MUST adjust your machine to taste; otherwise, you'll finish the game on your first or second try. It'll give you 5 extra balls!
