Your first impressions are spot on, and it’s exciting to hear about the features and gameplay of JJP’s latest release 😁 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and giving us a closer look! 👍

The game is amazing. So fun to shoot and the newer software makes it much more difficult to survive and score bigger points.

Visually, it's a joy to behold - a thing of absolute beauty. The fact that it is deep isn't a problem for me, as I would be prepared to put the time into studying it. I don't think I have ever seen so many ramps and habit rails in a pinball machine! For my money, a great game. Oh, and I have never seen an Avatar movie.

I played Avatar on location the week it was released and then several times at Expo, and I love it. I personally do like the theme. I think the artwork is amazingly beautiful. I like the 2 lower playfields. But to be fair, i do tend to like those. Overall, i found the game fun to play and hope to own it one day.

Haven't heard much on this game since release tbh! im looking forward to evil dead by spooky! It'll look good by my Scooby Doo pinball machine!

Bought Godzilla Premium and couldn’t care less about the theme . For me it’s shots & layout with deep code so I don’t get bored . I can see getting a Avatar CE

I played it tonight & x-men neither games my themes but I would prefer Avatar beautiful deep game reminds me a lot of my Elton John CE which I own. Can’t wait till they do a theme everyone will love ❤

[@JURAYSARCADE]

They definitely moving in the right direction just need better themes

[@DuncanJump]

Looks a beautiful game

Give the new code a try!

[@joebristowtechnologicalbre2073]

Nice looking game, but once again, a ‘B’ if not ‘C’ theme. Rainbow soaked and lacking exciting code. I think they need to grab some new talent behind the scenes. What stern have lacked in toys/bling they made up for in code which is what gives the game longevity after all.

I'm always with you Gonzo re rules. 10-20 seconds explanation attention span and I'm gone. All fur coat no knickers, this one, especially in the dark!!! 🤣😂🤣

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Well Gary, ordinarily I'm a big fan of the fur coat and no knickers combo 😉😂

[@garypauljohnson9884]

@@GonzosPinballFlipperama I'm with you there!!!! 🤣😂😍

I finally played it..... I consider myself a big fan of the IP personally, I found it played slow and had little "flow" when compared to elton.... Rather disappointing tbh

I don't like Avatar as a theme at all. With that being said, I really wanted to give this game a try and judge it based on gameplay. Unfortunately I just do not find it fun and I played on multiple different copies during expo in Chicago. I feel bad because I want to see the new designer have a successful release but this game just didn't really do much. Those lower playfields are terrible and I absolutely hate when the ball went down there, at points I would stop playing and time them out just to get it back. There were no shots that I felt satisfying and ones that would draw me back into playing. The look of the game is what you expect from JJP but I feel like the poor gameplay is distracted by a lightshow. Idc what anyone says, the UV paint jobs on both the LE and CE were a complete fail. I saw that game in dark conditions under black lights during expo and you struggled to see a difference. It doesn't hold a candle to the UV paint job on Stranger Things. The best is that JJP definitely tried to subtly throw shade at Stern but they came up significantly short.
