I've played Batman a lot, but not CSI. None of the arcades/ operators around the L.A. area bought a Stern game after Batman (as far as I know). A lot of people shit-talk CSI, but I'd like to play it...it looks kinda cool. The people who like the game say that they like it because it plays like a System 11. No deep rules, but fun enough....doesn't make me wanna spend $4000 on one!
I have mixed feelings on Batman. I like playing it on location, because the crane is a really cool feature and it's fun to hit. However, it's kind of easy and not much else happens besides the Scarecrow and Joker multiballs. Software isn't finished yet...hopefully better code will show up soon. The bridge is a totally stupid toy, and the Joker can is pointless as well.
