[QUOTE="Kolchak357, post: 270343, member: 568"] My thoughts on Season 7 1. Fathom - No surprise here. One of those rare pins that nails the rules, art, and play that I love. And FS did a very nice job recreating it. My fave of a very good season. 2. Sorcerer - A classic of addictive proportions. Easy to understand rules, and a fun interesting layout. An A+ art package draws you in. The game play keep you coming back. The lighting is especially nice even on the iOS version (well done FS). 3. Wild Card - A solid simple EM design. But like Big Shot, I keep coming back to this one. FarSight does some great work on EM pins. Wish they woul have done more EMs. 4. World Cup Soccer.- The mandated art changes turned out not to bug me. An exciting and fun pin to play. Goal!!!!! 5. Ghostbusters - Probably deserves a higher ranking. But It took so long for FS to get this in a playable state on iOS that it drained some of the fun out of this one for me. Slimer still jumps around like he’s on amphetamines. 6. Paragon - Another beautiful pin with smart simple rules. But it plays a bit too fast. Doesn’t feel like the real life widebody it is. A bit of a disappointment for me. Should be better than it is on iOS. 7. Banzai Run - Not one of my favorites in real life, but FS did a good job on it. They captured the clunky, heavy ball feel (in the back box) of the real thing very well. Not a terrible pin, but the gameplay feels repetitive to me. Doesn’t make me want to keep playing. 8. Firepower II - Why? Why was this created in the first place? The original Firepower is great and this does not improve on it. Why did FS select this one to digitize? Looks and plays well, but I just don’t want to play it. 9. Spanish Eyes - FS did a great job recreating this one. Looks and feels like it should. But there’s a reason this unique layout didn’t catch on. Ok to play on a rare occasion until it reminds you that the layout just isn’t that fun to play repeatedly. 10. Wipe Out - The gameplay has that lather rinse repeat feel to it. In an arcade I would never put a quarter in it. Has some fun toys, but it just isn’t enough. 11. Pistol Poker - Played this in real life and really liked it. But this one is an FS fail for me. I don’t find the look or play does a good job of capturing the real thing. Some of the shots feel off and playfield looks sort of flat. A big disappointment for me. [/QUOTE]
