[QUOTE="Sumez, post: 111783, member: 1547"] Got a really good impression from Bowen's tutorial video. This game is a huge change from all the most recent Sterns which just have a lot of stuff going on, and make it difficult to identify your goals. I love the refreshingly simple playfield visuals, with the six colored modes in the bottom, and color changing LED arrows that match your goals for each mode. I grasped the rules within seconds, compared to AC/DC which I have now played multiple times, and still don't understand anything about. My only real complaint, which Bowen seemed to share judging by the Q&A in the end, is that the modes seem really uninteresting, just repeating the same concept of shooting similar lit up shots, all with the same limitations based on whether you are on step 1, 2 or 3 (time, number of shots, both). It seems like it doesn't really matter what mode you choose, because they are all the same. I guess it's a move that takes the table back to a more old school "classic" pinball concept, and probably good for people who aren't fans of modes, but I imagine it must make the table feel quite a bit repetitive. Also, the theme seems a bit lackluster, not really feeling like a "Star Trek" table to me, like the classic STTNG did. It seems more like a standard pinball layout with some movie faced pasted on, the same vibe I got from Williams' Terminator 2, Demolition Man or Dirty Harry, etc. [/QUOTE]
