I've owned this game for a little over a year, and it has ben a complete love/hate relationship. I've put the game up for sale twice, and I've also told people how awesome the game is on many occasions. I've called the game every single foul word in the book, andI've also talked up how exciting the game is to fellow pinheads. I've reached 113 walker kills, and I'm now refusing to ever think about selling it until I reach LMS, and at that point, it might just get bolted to the floor. This game is NOT for everyone, and not only because of the graphic nature of it. This to me is a true pinball player's game. This game will expose all your weaknesses, and make you become a better player. The game will push you, and you will be forced to nudge it back. It is a brutal drainer, and even cleanly made shots don't mean you're not in trouble. You'll scream at it, you might smash your hands down on the glass, but there is one thing for sure... This game will make your heart race like no other!

Ok so the sound is not great, should have forked over some cash for real actors and gets repetitive. If I owned it I would have the vol at a 1. The game play is fun with the newer code and more balanced scoring. This is another game that got a ton better with better code. Colors are great and Playfield art fits the show. I think it could have been better executed but still a strong game.

Didn’t care for it a year ago...but now i’ve had some more time on it. It has become one of my favorite games. The game is tough, gotta keep calm and stay focused at all times to stay alive. So if you like hard playing games and are no stranger to move games, this might be the game for you :)

One of the best modern pins available as far as complete presentation is concerned. I really enjoy the skill shot - one of my favorites in a pinball machine. Ball flow is excellent, despite the bash toy in the right-center of the playfield. Not a huge fan of bash toys, but this one is tolerable. Only gripe is the notorious cheap drains when the ball comes out of the pop bumpers. Otherwise, I really like how the ball moves in this one. The DMD animations are some of the finest of any modern era pinball machine. Always eager to play this pin. The Pro version is solid.

Man this game kicks my ass and I keep coming back for more. I don't know of another game that requires you to have to hit dangerous shot after dangerous shot to make progression. I wish there was more colour but I get it because it is TWD. Not a huge fan of the layout but it is decent.

Played it when first released and even though it shot well, I never liked the game because code was baron. Since then I played a couple of premiums/le and disliked the clunky left ramp or the right ramp crossbow pause. Recently played a pro and wow it just flowed with fast combo shots. Huge difference not have the stop/start of the crossbow and the clunk of the BG ramp. Code is just awesome. I've achieved Horde, Last man standing but yet to start siege. Games super fun, very challenging, lymans best code and pro being the version to buy in my opinion.

Not sure about The Walking Dead: I think it potentially is a great pin, and at the same time the one machine I did get to play on it a few games had poor lighting, virtually no sound, and the flow of the shots wasn’t really that satisfying...still I know I would come back to play on it if I had the chance. Bit mad.

I was a huge Walking Dead (AMC) fan when this show first came out. This pin came around the same time as my peak interest in the show, so I was a big fan when I walked up to the machine.
The Bad:
-- The music, or lack-there-of. It's forgettable.
-- Where's all the cool toys?
-- The animations would be better in color. Come on, Stern. Stop skimping!
The Good:
-- Layout is awesome.
-- The rules are great.
-- Sounds & Lights work together very well.
Given what the designers had to work with, I think this is a very fun pin. It has me coming back every time. It's fun to play and anyone can play it. The sounds are great and when paired with the lighting and shaker motor, it really immerses you into the game. The downside is that there's no cool toys, so there's nothing that makes you turn to your friends and say "watch this!" There's also nothing stuck in my head after I play it, nothing that makes me hum a tune or anything.
It's fun to play, it's reliable and hardly needs maintenance, cleaning is simple. It's a little bland overall, but it's just fun enough to make me come back every time I'm around it.
