I spent around 3 hours playing Avatar yesterday. Literally straight out of the box at an OP's place. That's probably the first and the last time I'll get to do that.
Cost - $4300
Was it fun?
The answer is ..... yes it's most certainly fun. As I expected it's not "gotta buy one" fun but I would gladly stick a few bucks into it again.
The sound package is incredible on this. Everything is crisp and clear and really drives the game play. Very nice! The magnet is so unpredictable. Sometimes it flails the ball around mach 10 and other times it'll limp dick it straight down the middle.
The artwork is well done theme wise. The quality though is very pixelated/grainy. The best part of this machine is the 3D translite. Youtube and the likes don't do it justice. It's really neat.
The negatives:
There's one movie phrase used that is too long and used too much. It gets annoying real quick.
I had a tremendous amount of airballs. Almost all of them were in the pop area. This is a huge problem because it will eventualy break the plastic artwork that covers the left and middle pop.
The balls spend WAY too much time in the pop bumpers.
All too many times the ball came out of the pops area and dribbled STDM. Get ready to nudge!
The ramp shot - all too many times did I have a shot bounce back and forth at the entrance. I can see that ramp getting cracked up in the future.
So all in all the game Avatar is very fun but for me personally not a must have as I can see the game play getting stale.
