Love the series, the machine is so-so.

I really couldn't get into this one. The toys were there like it was ready for anything available at the time. I did not like this one.

Really enjoyed this. Have only played a few games on a LED-convert table in Edmonton, but really like it. Great theme.

This is a fun game to play. Good variety of shots and play modes. Theme, art and audio are a bit boring, though. Not big fan of the the Sopranos show or the whole wiseguy/gangster genre. Jury is still partially out for me, though. Update pending after more plays.

First, I am a huge Sopranos Fan. The sounds and layout of this pin are awesome for a true Sopranos Fan. I think it is very underrated and maybe if I weren't such a fan of the show it wouldn't mean as much to me but would still have an awesome pinball to play. I love this pin...Will probably stay in my collection forever.

It baffles me that this game is beyond #100. I can't think of many games with as many well placed call-outs as Sopranos and every game is enjoyable. Toys and gimmicks received an automatic excellent score for having dancing chicks!

This has got to be one of my favourite games of all time. IMHO very very underrated machine.
I absolutely love the theme, I was a fan of the show & the game is incredibly well done.
Has some of the best toys in pinball, the pole dancers up the back of the left ramp that twirl around the poles when you make the shot, genius! The talking fish, love it! The safe is awesome & love how it busts open, incredibly well done, I heard someone in these comments say it looks cheap & looks like it will break, well this game is now 8yrs old & the safe has not broken yet & shows no signs of wear whatsoever.
The boat is cool & the truck also. This game is decked out very well & plays flipping fantastic!
The adult theme might not suit everyone, maybe they should stick to their comic & cartoon pins & leave the big boy toys for the big boys.
Deep game with lots of modes very addictive & not as easy as many claim.
I'm an operator & have this game on location, it's a really good earner & the punters love it & they'd kill me if I took it away!

Fun at first. However, the sound were a little repetitive and the fun factor decreased over time. I might play it again in an arcade but would not buy one for the home.

This game could have been way better. The machine just feels very cheap. Feels like the safe is going to break every time you hit it. Fun for awhile but not a keeper. Gets boring very fast.

Sopranos is a great pin for those who like long game play. It's a fairly easy game to master and games can go on forever. It's a marathon. It starts off kind of boring going through the motions but after a while it builds and gets to be pretty fun. It's not fast and the ramps are not very steep. There's enough going on on the playfield to keep you interested. I love the theme even though it's a generic art package. Game still looks cool and if you like the Sopranos you should have no problem with the theme or art work or weak photoshop backglass. This would be a great game for a collection if you are looking for a game that you can shoot around on for a couple hours. It's not drain heavy and games will be long. Doesn't work well in a tournament setting for this reason. Also great game for beginners. They will feel like they got their monies worth cause even a beginner should stay on the game for several minutes. Any hate it gets is probably from hardcore pin heads that know all the tricks and need the rush of a fast drainer or super deep rule set.

was my first pin ... traded it ... but after 4 years had to get it back. Coolest Stern next to the Lord of the rings .... but such an ugly translite .... way out of place ... and have to get an alternative one :-)

A nice machine, obvious adult theme. A lot of modes to do, although most are fairly similar but still very enjoyable.

The Bada Bing ramp gives a few too many rejects for my liking, but hey shit happens!
The fish seems somewhat wasted.

I love the Sorpranos theme and this game doesn't disappoint. It's got great flow, funny call outs and is just a flat out fun game. The only drawback is that it's a pretty "easy" game which might cause some to lose interest in it.

A decent game. Nothing overly special. Some hilarious call outs. I wouldn't own this, but would throw a few bucks at it at an arcade.

Pretty darn fun game, have played it a few times now and really enjoy it. Never watched the show but it appears to be themed well. Modes are fun to play out and I enjoy the ramp shots. Overall good game, would play again.

I'm not a huge fan of the Sopranos, however, I surprisingly enjoyed this pin. Although a simple fan layout, the multiple ramps and other shots from both flippers kept me entertained. I thought the boat multi-ball was well done as well as the concept of moving up the mob ranks as the modes are completed. I also thought the "Bada Bing" dancing girls and safe were solid features.

Meadowlands is a nice tight and rewarding shot, spinner and safe are nice shots. George implemented his Drop Target OF DOOM on this game, a good idea for one game, but not in EVERY game you design plus it catapults the ball over the flippers far too often. Rules are good (although a little tedious to get to wizard mode) including a fantastic wizard mode. Cabinet art is quite nice, playfield is overly colourful for the theme. Nice game well worth owning.

I'm surprised to have rated this game so highly, but I've come to appreciate it, despite not digging the theme. The shots are all super smooth, there's plenty of modes and objections, and the main toy, the safe, is pretty damn cool. While I've logged many games on this machine, I've never gotten to the wizard mode, but have come close, which is the magic ingredient in pinball that keeps me coming back for more.

Revising my review as I was a little harsh after an underwhelming first encounter.
As a Sopranos fan this table took some time to grow on me, it does look and feel a little cheap as do so many Stern tables but with persistence I grew to like this title. Once you learn to avoid/counter the SDTM's and get a feel for the ruleset it becomes a rewarding experience knowing all the right shots.
It took a while but I like it in the end.
