[QUOTE="Tabe, post: 86270, member: 342"] I sat down last night to play this table (PS3 version) again after quite awhile away from it. Doing so reminded why it had been so long since I played it. This table STINKS. The original table itself is bad enough. The design and layout are terrible and the sound effects are just awful. So repetitive and annoying. But then we get to the TPA implementation of it. Where to start? How about the graphics? They're so oversaturated and overly bright that portions of the table are simply invisible. The upper flippers are nearly invisible, the slingshots completely blend into the outlane, and so on. And everything is just so freaking BRIGHT. Good grief. And then there's the physics. Back when PHOF: Gottlieb came out on the PS2, I picked it up immediately. And I put it down almost as quick. The physics and ball movement on that table were just awful. It seems like they carried that stuff forward into the TPA implementation of Genie. The ball is very floaty and I've had it seemingly decide to just stop rolling in a particular direction and go off another way for no apparent reason. Bottom line: This might be the worst table on TPA, IMHO. I hate Big Shot, too, but it at least looks and plays correctly. This one is a bad game married with a terrible implementation. YUCK. /rant [/QUOTE]
