[QUOTE="MisterVercetti, post: 250653, member: 5443"] On the one hand... it's better than Co1812 gameplay-wise, at least (though it's not hard to beat that one... Co1812 is probably one of the worst tables in history). On the other, pretty much what everyone else has said. It's even worse on the PC version IMO... the ball physics are so wonky that making a Skill Shot is virtually impossible, as more often than not a solid plunge ends up with the ball getting rejected from the upper playfield and just plonking into the saucer lane. The Water Tower shot is also still nearly impossible to make, but for different reasons than the mobile versions - unless the shot is pixel-perfect, the ball actually clips through the ramp, so it just falls into the upper loop. And it seems weird to me that a ball shot into the lock ramp from the right flipper almost always doesn't make it to the top, but a backhand from the left flipper makes it almost every time. Yeah, this one definitely still needed some cooking. Between this and Doctor Who, I'm getting really sick of unfinished tables with broken physics that make it virtually impossible to play the game as intended. It's even worse with this one: whereas the wonky physics in Doctor Who merely warranted a change in strategy (going for Video Mode constantly instead of multiball), here it renders the game literally unplayable, since there are no alternative strategies to compensate for what's broken. I think most folks here would rather wait an extra week rather than have them rushed out unfinished. [/QUOTE]
