Deadpool is a game I loved to hate for a long time. For some reason, I just really struggled to every shoot very well on it, but I've come to really like it. Although I think there are certain aspects of the rules that lead to very unbalanced scoring. At the same time the playfield multiples that I think cause much of this issue are from one of the great shots in pinball, the snikt shot. There have been games where I just get lucky and hit the snikt shot a couple times early on and blow it up because of the multipliers, but it's always a lot of fun. Each of the battles is unique and give enough variety in the game. I also really enjoy the art and the humorous callouts. All in all, Deadpool is definitely a game I would consider owning and alway will step up and play.

I like this pin, and think it is a solid game that is fun to play. The artwork is really good. Bash toy is decent, but the full shots are where it is at for me on this pin. I really like the Katana ramp and physical ball lock. Not really sold on the left horseshoe or the fact that the right orbit can leak into the shooter lane, but even with those criticisms, it is still a really fun game to play.

One of the best modern pinball machines I see a lot in location! Initially hated it because of it being too easy if set up normal (I thought it would be easy even if set up hard). Rules are pretty simple but never get old, but it's very hard getting to Mr. Sinister! Another thing I like about this pinball is that shots aren't similar to other machines. Artwork is well made too. The only thing I criticize about this machine is, like written before, that you have too long ball times if it's set up normal.

This one ranks high.
Right from the start it's a gorgeous art package, from cabinet to backglass and playfield. A lot of attention has been paid to the playfield layout, structure and details. The ramps, toys and different theme-based gadgets, like the shuriken-shaped bumper caps, all make for a great looking pinball machine. I am especially impressed by the inside cabinet art/decor on the top end, together with cool and funny extras like the chimichanga truck, which I assume must look even more awesome in the 3D-LE-version of the game. The main features on the playfield, the Katana trail/lock ramp and the bobble head target/lock area are incredibly fun and work well with the whole theme.
Gameplay is rather fast, although not on the same insane level as Star Trek etc. There is a smooth flow and a wide variety of shots here.
The lighting effects on this game deserve to be mentioned. They are nothing short of amazing. I really can't think of any Stern from recent years that even comes close to this game in that aspect. What a great job and a very rewarding addition to the gameplay. Even the LCD-animations are top notch.
No real weak points here. I did however experience a couple of real strange airballs with one of them jumping from playfield up on the Katana-trail. Fun - but weird and hopefully something that is a result of unsufficent adjustments rather than poor playtesting. I'm not crazy about the Deadpool theme altogether, and that goes for the absurd humour as well. But this game really manages to make a colourful and a fun ride out of the whole story.
If I were to change or mod anything, I would replace those spring-like arms on the bobble head figure, they look more lame/cheap than cool. But thats about it from the cosmetical complaint department....
Summary: One of the best superhero games and second only to Spider-Man. This table outshines X-men, Transformers etc. with ease. The balance between gameplay, gimmicks, visual effects and overall smoothness is nearly perfect.

Love me some Dead Pool. Clunky but in the best way. Theme is top choice. Just wish Ryan Reynolds would've attended. Game modes are awesome and sarcastic. If a nearby friend of mine didnt already own this HUO it would be in my collection. Lighting is really good but could've used RGB GI and flashers. Toys are kinda chincy and not really integrated to the game like some games. I'm sure premium is a bit better in this category. Super Skill shots are difficult but most of the other shots are between easy and moderate. The lock and super skill shots can be nearly impossible if not leveled properly or if ramps/loops are de-tuned. IMO left loop is boring unless you have premium version.

I only owned this game for about 2 months. I liked it but it just wasn't for me. The funny thing is once I decided to sell it I played it more and it started to grow on me. Overall a nice break from the same old pin layouts. It definitely feels different then most pinball machines. Good overall design by Gomez. I'm not a huge fan of the 80's graphics on the screen but I do like the 80's arcade sounds. It feels a little cheap to me when I play it. It doesn't have that B/W solid feel to it. I recommend!

Great game, took me awhile to enjoy it as the deeper rules are a bit harder to learn. I love the megladon mode and the moving shot. Lil Deadpool seems a bit cheesy but kinda fits with the theme. I only have played on location but the katana ramp is super hard to nail, which is cool but frustrating. I wish the smaller thinks were easier to understand like what do the ninjas do??? But over all awesome game with new fresh shots.

I've played this at a lot of different arcades while I've been on travel for work and no matter what games they have in their lineup, if they have a Deadpool, I always spend money on a few plays because I enjoy it so much.
The artwork looks great, the gameplay always feels smooth, the voice and on screen animations always make me laugh. As far as lastability, I have put in a good but of time and haven't gotten bored of it yet. Hope to add it to my collection sometime.

Been having a lot of fun with this one on route! Another game I’d like to own for awhile.
I love Gomez’ layout here. Really smooth and fun to shoot. The rules seem solid, but I’d like to learn them better. Art is great as is sound quality on all the new Sterns. Animantions and theme integration are clever, and certainly not annoying, but I sense they could have done better. I may change my mind in time.
I do question the lastability, because I don’t sense anything epic about this game. But it is a good one!
