[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 65355, member: 1196"] Don't get me wrong, there is alot to love about this table. Fantastic theme integration, fun missions, great shots, tons of flow. But it's just got too many design flaws, major ones I feel, making it not as great as people make it out to be. Lets start with the flippers. They are too small! Ugg I just can't hold it in any longer! I can't stand it! This is a wide body table, making the small flippers that much more strange. They look goofy, like you've got this giant table with these baby flippers. What the heck. It makes me so insecure to play. For a table this wide the flippers should be as long as Elvira or Theatre of Magic. The slingshots are far, far too big. They really obstruct gameplay. What was the reason for such small flippers but obscurely large slings? I don't get it. This ties in with the huge slings: "standard" outlanes. This is a wide body, again, what was the point if you are going to just make the outlanes exactly the same as a slimmer machine. Twilight Zone has 2 in lanes on the left that gives you a nice cusion, or get creative and do something fun like what Genie has. Guns block outlane view. Probably less of a problem on the real machine, but, yeah, I can't see! Outlane\inlane? A complete crap shoot. Right ramp: full power shots don't go all the way up. Huh? Maybe it's just a pba issue. Photon torpedoes a wasted opportunity. Sure , some of the modes make use of the cannons but for the most part, they are criminally underutilized. What was up with that? Why not let us load them up during multiball, or utilize a sort of "cousin it"/phantom flip device where they will make a shot for you.. Idk.... Just seems a huge waste having these big cannons that you barely use... Look overall, I love this table. It's just that, these flaws are pretty major. Am I alone in this opinion? [/QUOTE]
