Well, I don't have a salary high enough so I can't afford new pinball
game(s), so I'm not 'in' any pinball purchase at all (and therefore, I
hope, quite unbiased), but I don't think the game is ugly. I think
having the ball rolling over the 'glass' of the mini-playfield looks
cool and the rest looks ok to good too. Not perfect, but hey, there
are a lot of pinballs around that could have been made better looking.
And the TF-update coming up, will hopefully finish it. I think the
last few pinballs (TRON, TF and ACDC) will end up with finished
software, according to 'the word on the street'. And 'finished' is
always debatable: a lot of games, old and new, could use improvement
in certain aspects. That doesn't make all those game unfinished. A few
really are unfinished, which I think is a mistake (be is Sterns or a
(very?) few B/W titles, but if I had one of the last few Stern
releases, I wouldn't worry much.
Though I don't like prices going up any more than the next guy, I
don't understand the negative comments a lot of people tend to give on
every new game. Some without any real comment, just that the game
'sucks' (no explanation).
If I had the money, I'd go for WOZ (for it has a lot in it) and TRON
(I really like the looks and the 3rd flipper-shots), and no ACDC, for
that theme doesn't really do it for me, but still I'm excited about
the game, think it looks quite good and I think there's a lot of cool
stuff in it. I don't care for the Transformers theme, but I can
imagine the game being really fun.
Anyway, back ontopic: thanks for the teaser vid. I'd rather see some
longer vid of the gameplay, but it's still a lot better than
nothing :).
