Yes yes I finally got to put a few games on Jaws pinball this weekend, and wow, I dont know how to say this or if you get but the layout has this kinda like classic elwin flow, but it definitely feels more brutal than I expected, not seen a tighter but more satisfying rear amp shot, the upper playfield surprised me too though, I wasn't sure I'd like it based on videos, but in person its cool, the theme integration is also on point, and the shark toy actually made me laugh the first time it lunged

I dont know if this is just excitement speaking right now or a worthy hype, what do you guys think?
 
Sounds excitting! Jaws pinball really does have that Elwin-style flow but with a surprisingly punishing edge. The rear amp shot is tight but super satisfying when you hit it, and the upper playfield plays way better than it looks in videos. The theme integration is so spot on, and yeah that shark lunge is hilarious the first time. You're not alone forsure, the hype is still reall!!
 
The upper playfield is a surprise for sure, definitely adds a fresh twist and the shark toy caught me off guard for the first time too

This is how excited I am whenever i see the words Jaws premium.. Lol! A total banger for sure.
What was your favorite shot or feature on the machine?
 
Jaws might be the most polarizing Elwin design yet. Some call it brutal, others call it brilliant but let's be real: the layout punishes casual players. It's not fan-service; it's a shark with no mercy

I totally get what you mean about the classic Elwin flow with an added brutal edge!
I only got to put a few games myself, but it's definitely a tight game that really makes you earn those shots, especially that Amp shot!
 
Elwin's layouts always have that flow-to-brutality balance. The shark mech is solid and upper playfield integration works better than expected. Definitely lives up to hype, classic Stern execution with modern tech
