![]() Effective designers have avoided budget pitfalls with alternative shot layouts and creative use of the space they are afforded. Reviewer 44: “Brian Eddy has been thrusted back into a different era of pinball that requires wowing with less. Given the talent of Brian Eddy and the team he had to work with, I was hoping for something more special…” I’ll play it on location, but from what I have seen it isn’t something I would consider purchasing. Reviewer 65: “I guess I would just simply say it’s ok. But with such a familiar layout, the code, projector, and theme integration is going to be the make or break point of this pinball machine.” Reviewer 4: “Overall ,it is a familiar layout that has the potential of been something great. I will need to see how the projection works in real life to get a better feel for it, but I think it has enough potential at this point that I will give them extra credit for the innovation…” I am worried that it might be too challenging to the point that it would get frustrating. Reviewer 200: “The demogorgon toy does look like fun and could be quite a challenge. They went all in on the projector, which doesn’t add anything to gameplay or the physical fun of pinball we all love….” Reviewer 151: “The Demogorgon shot is sterile and unimpressive. Reviewer 158: “Give props to Stern for trying new technology with projection mapping but I think it falls short, the game looks barren and there’s simply not enough there compared to other games that have better mechanisms…” The projector screen(s) are impressive and they integrate well with gameplay…” Innovation abounds on this title (for the Premium/LE trim) and this is exactly what pinball needs to continue to innovate. Reviewer 166: “There is no question on this – they have outdone themselves on this aspect of the game. The center shots are quite deadly as drop targets…” It looks to play very smoothly and shots appear to feel quite nice. Reviewer 37: “The layout looks to be a now fairly standard fan layout from the master of the fan. I applaud Stern for introducing some new technology with the projection mapping but it’s quite literally underwhelming with relying on this versus some real ball interaction mechanisms…” Reviewer 158: “After a 20+ year hiatus of Brian Eddy the expectations were very strong for this new title and this game falls short. Reviewer 200: “The layout may not be new or innovative, but it does use a proven design that has remained at the top of the charts for quite some time…” The featured mech, while fitting of the theme, lacks the punch and wow factor it could and should have…” Shot geometry seems good, with the exception of the right ramp. Reviewer 44: “On the simple side, possibly too much so. Reviewer 12: “Obviously designer Brian Eddy played it pretty safe and based this fan layout on the much loved Attack from Mars I do find of few interesting quirks like how the right inner loop feeds the the left outer orbit (could have been a boring horseshoe around the centre drop targets)…”
