[QUOTE="Pinballwiz45b, post: 253885, member: 1051"] If I sounded too harsh in this review, I apologize for my behavior. I play pinball with a keyboard on the computer simply because I'm used to it (ever since the older pinball games on PC), and no keyboard functionality while playing the table day one is an instant deal-breaker to me. Especially when giving first impressions. It's a shame that I can't use the same key on multiple options. I'm able to use Enter as my Launch button on TPA just fine. Why not in Stern Pinball Arcade? Arcade flythrough: I expected this to be a console port. Apparently, this is not the case, considering the use of the menu system. If I was a completely new player, I'd keep asking myself "what do these symbols mean on the menu?" I was streaming this last night to test out this game, and good thing I blackened the screen out before I logged in. Because it actually revealed the password in-game. That is saying something. Sometimes it makes me wonder why us PC users didn't get to test this out in the first place, or yet label this as "Early Access". Because it certainly feels like a beta at the moment. In regards to LAH being in its "pre-rollback" mode, it doesn't have the ROM issues the TPA version of LAH now has. No crane sound interruption during "MOVE THE CRANE", no helicopter sound after attempting a skill shot, and the main music doesn't keep playing after Dynamite Feature is activated.
