Yesterday afternoon, Stern pinball released a much anticipated code update for its Uncanny X-Men pinball machine. Despite a fairly well-received unique playfield layout, the game has come under criticism from many for underdeveloped code.
At first glance from someone who has played, but does not own the game, it appears that yesterday's code release, version 0.90, is more evolutionary than revolutionary - like many people were hoping. It contains mostly additional polish and bug fixes but not a lot of additional depth for the game.
Those of you who are interested in a walkthrough of the chances can check out the Read Me file or better yet, watch a stream of the new code, which Stern just put up on YouTube.
