[QUOTE="Klopek, post: 287882, member: 423"] Really impressed by this pack, particularly Hurricane and Road Show. Lots of fun. Here are some somewhat random very early impressions and a couple critiques: Road Show [LIST] [*]I don't know what it sounds like in real life but the shaker motor sound is absolutely awesome; [*]The skill shot is brutal; [*]The heads look great. Makes me excited for Funhouse; [*]Considering my only experience of this table was in TPA, the sound here is a revelation; [*] I'm surprised they didn't colour the radio in. [/LIST] Hurricane [LIST] [*]I'm surprised the camera doesn't pan up when spinning the wheel, to show the spinning back glass piece; [*]The animated clown's pie, when you drain, always misses the camera. The pre-release videos make it seem like it should make contact? [*]Pulling the plunger all the way back as quickly as possible seems to be resulting in the associated sound duplicating; [*]I've had the music fail to return after riding the Ferris wheel (after it is returned to the left flipper lane). Repeating the shot fixed it; [*]The duck and carousel enhancements in particular are really well done. Nicely restrained. [/LIST] White Water [LIST] [*]There's something wrong with the White Water music. It's awful to the point where I haven't played the table much because of it; [*]Disappointed there doesn't seem to be any animated water; [*]Much prefer the original big chunky, Nordman looking Big Foot. Would have preferred a more animated version in the original form factor - although I've not spent enough time to see all the animations for skinny big foot; [*]The camera zoom into the top right playfield is not great. Perhaps it's because I use a 16:9 vertical orientation but the right side of the screen is ever so slightly cut off. It's a bit too zoomed; [*]I've already had the ball fail to make it through the left waterfall ramp, stopping and falling off midway through. I've also seen it get stuck at the bottom of the same ramp, in the loop by the left flipper. This might be true to the real table, I have no idea. Both instances corrected themselves, although the latter used magic physics. [/LIST] General [LIST] [*]I'm not a fan of the camera zooming in on animated characters when a ball drains. If they had various animations, or it was infrequent then it would be much more tolerable; [*]Has the table zoom changed when you hold the view button? I thought previously that it zoomed into the table a little more for a closer look. I tried it on the vol 4 pack and it really didn't change the perspective much at all. (Vertical orientation, using view1) [/LIST] I'm sure I've forgot a whole lot and this probably seems negative, as it's always easy to dissect compared to putting it all together. I repeat again, I really like these - and all - the Bally/Williams tables! [/QUOTE]
