[QUOTE="jbejarano, post: 145571, member: 814"] For me, the most annoying part of Harley Davidson is the really bad voiceover. Not all of the voiceover is bad, but the generic sounding guy that does most of the callouts really grates. I've done voice acting, and that voice is not only inappropriate for the theme, it's just annoyingly bad. And yet, playing on mute is not a good option, because as awful as that voice work is, he does call out important things. ...And yes, that video mode drives me up the wall as well. It's always the same thing and it shows up too much. ...On top of that, I think the designers wasted the traffic signal toy. High Speed makes excellent use of the traffic signal. It's a compelling part of the game. Back when Harley-Davidson came out on The Pinball Arcade (long before High Speed was released), my expectation was higher. Turns out that on Harley-Davidson, the traffic signal serves no purpose other than decorative flashing lights. Very disappointing. Especially with Red Light Multiball being an important mode, they could have used that better. ...Then there's the annoying "music" that plays during Patch Hurry-Up. I guess I'm extra motivated to try and get that patch to shut it up. ...There are a couple other minor annoyances, and to be fair, there are parts of the game that are pretty neat. But, taken as a package, Harley Davidson would definitely be in the bottom quintile of my favorite tables on The Pinball Arcade. P.S. I hasten to add that I don't think any of these are problems with FarSight's reproduction of the table. These are issues with the original table. [/QUOTE]
