[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 264010, member: 2300"] Did get to play this today at the Pinball Expo before having to leave early. Can't really tell you too much about it as my one game was a blow out - under 5 minutes (where's the ball save!?). The immediate surprise for me was the ball speed. It was really slow for a modern game. You play any of the modern Sterns and the ball is lightning fast. JJ-POTC ball movement is pretty slow in comparison. When you first start playing you get a screen where you pick from one of like 20 characters from the movies. Each character offers a different feature. Some were listed as "Coming Soon". But I ended up picking the young British Captain guy from the first film who gives easier mission goals - little did I know I wouldn't even get to the point of starting a mission. The two alternating spinning discs at the bottom of the table are really neat looking. And they really do impact the ball direction (one of my drains was from that). The mini-playfield tilting deck (upper-right) was also really neat looking but seemed kinda boring. Was watching one person who was able to spend a lot of time up there. The mini-playfield tilts heavily to the left and they were able to easily get control of the ball. Not much was happening when they would hit targets or go through the little half-loop lane up there but their score was going up - did hear the code was only 20% complete. I don't think I saw anyone get multiball come to think of it and none of the mission goals stood out. So certainly seems pretty early in its life. I wish I had more time with it as my initial play didn't grab me like Dialed In did. But it for what little I got to play it seems as solid as the other JJ games in terms of build quality. Nothing felt or looked cheap to me. [/QUOTE]
