[QUOTE="francis247uk, post: 251053, member: 820"] Just downloaded, have already got it on Android, iOS, Steam, 360 (yes bit of a fanboy for TPA) The Good: [LIST] [*]Looks, plays and sounds exactly like the PC DX11 version (Although haven't tested all tables for sound) [*]Old UI and theme music - I always wanted the new UI, then when it came out, I wished to have the old one back! [/LIST] The Bad: [LIST] [*]Comes pre mapped with LB & RB as the flippers - can almost guarantee no one will play it like this. (To change, whilst in game, you have to go to Help/Options, then Settings, then Flipper Control to change to LT & RT) [*]Cannot change room brightness on first page of pause screen, have to go in to "Help & Options" first [*] [/LIST] The Ugly: [LIST] [*]In game, if you pause and go to "Help & Options" and then "Controls" there is an awful stretched Pinball arcade logo in the top left corner - looks very amateurish but would be a quick fix [*]No 3D [/LIST] One thing to note is that I found notable flipper lag on my LG TV - which vanished when I put it in the "Game" picture mode - made a massive difference to the enjoyment. Would imagine this would be the same/similar for other makes/models. In summary, this is a really good version of TPA in my opinion if you can overlook the faults and the long wait between table releases. It's great having a good looking TPA which you can pick up and play in the lounge quickly on a big screen telly. Overall, in my opinion the Steam version will always be the one to beat due to the constant updates and bugfixing, but this comes a close second, and is better suited for casual play. If they fixed the Bad & Ugly points above, it would probably be my favourite - consequently I've rebought all the season packs. [/QUOTE]
