I'd like to addd my name to the list of Premiere ("Bizarro-Gottlieb") haters.The helicopter game (I don't even want to say its name) is a pinball atrocity filled with asinine repitition and mind-numbingly awful audio. I recall feeling the wasted minutes tick by every time that stupid chopper made its unnecessarily long swivel down and back up the length of the playfield. Whatever novelty it might have had the first time playing it was quickly replaced by a dreadful "not again" feeling of hopeless frustration at the start of each dumb emergency. (Who takes a very-pregnant woman camping in a remote area? The owner of the caved-in mine sounds like he's ordering food at a McDonald's drive-through. Etc, etc.)Adding to the game's horribleness are the infernal sirens. They wail incessantly throughout every game, no matter how well or how poorly you might be doing. For people like me that are forced to endure actual sirens multiple times of every day, playing E911 with the sound on is like volunteering to be tortured.The rest of Gottlieb's catalog isn't much better, either. Trying to master Lights, Camera, Action is like stepping in fresh dog**** over and over - all it does is sicken and enrage me. The overwhelmingly cheap, clunky, anti-flow of the thing practically screams "poorly-designed piece of ****". It's SO bad!What do playing cards and Hollywood have to do with each other? Is it possible NOT to win the "ready, set, draw" stupidity? The game title on the backglass looks like it should be on the back of a high schooler's Trapper Keeper.Such low standards are par for the course when it comes to these insultingly awful Premiere tables, and Pinball Arcade knows it. PA should divorce itself from these soulsucking claptrap-TABLS, ASAP
