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.

Though our entourage doesn't follow The Walking Dead episodes, this title/theme & gameplay is pinball at it's finest. Actually, this machine is quadruple AMAZING!!!
When approaching this machine, the challenging mode objectives coincide w/ The Horde (mini) wizard rule. In order to achieve horde, one must light all six weapon inserts to advance. Doing well is a must w/ Bloodbath, Well Walker, Bicycle Girl & The Modes to achieve one of the greatest most intense sub wizards of all time. Your excitement & adrenaline will surge w/ Horde achievement. But doing well throughout will be the challenge, as this machine is tough from beginning to end.
The modes are very well done in coalition w/ the dark theme. Barn, Riot, Arena, & CDC are all great in their own way, but Tunnel is another over the top thrill that separates & makes this machine shine!
Prison is another facet that will frustrate & fascinate w/ determination, but to totally complete is a long shot ~ S-O-O-O-O-O- Good Luck!
Well Walker is Multiball is definitely the easiest to accomplish of all the mini's & when stacked w/ Blood Bath, the entire playfield just explodes & lights up w/ anticipation.
I personally have not made it to Last Man Standing & to be honest, I really do not need to. Because to make this Saturn Planet Quest would be quite epic & extremely rare.
I need to emphasize that the theme induced ambiance & phenomenal gameplay make this title a winner! This incredible machine actually has my wife playing pinball. > What A Miracle!!!
As others have stated many times > Frustrating, Challenging, Difficult, etc.... But my personal spin on a typical gameplay experience is ~ This is a machine that will unconsciously force Mother Mary To Cuss!!!
Ball control & hitting your shots precisely is the only way to progress within reason. But to make each individual quest is another motivation to Keep Going.... As the silver ball goes, the question is > Will your Temper/Frustration overwhelm your conviction to progress further into this challenging pinball journey??? I wish you well in your pursuit YOUR pursuit of the perfect machine.
