[QUOTE="Captain B. Zarre, post: 238023, member: 2355"] Thoughts so far: - Aliens looks like it's going to be Droids all over again; it's going to be a flow based table that has emphasis on shooting shots over and over to increase values. Unfortunately, I didn't like Droids too much, so I'm not excited for this one. I do appreciate the choice between whether or not you want to play through missions in order, though. Finally, that mini-playfield is a blatant ripoff of the one from Wizard of Oz and I'm not sure why it's there. - Alien: Isolation is... different. This is the first table from a new designer but I'm worried casual players won't find this one enjoyable, with the stealth-based nature of the table and difficult-to-activate modes. However, for more advanced players like myself, this table looks like a joy to play. Also, the cabinet shot works because it's easy to shoot - unlike the very difficult yet seemingly wide-open Jedi Holocron shot from Masters of the Force. - Alien vs. Predator looks like a ton of fun. I think this table was a Peter Grafl design, lots of modes and lots of flow. This table appears to be the most accessible to newcomers and this is shown in the easy shots that each activate their own mode or Multiball. While I appreciate advanced and deep rules in a pinball machine, sometimes it's worth it to make a simple machine with satisfying, fun shots. [/QUOTE]
