First time to the Playdium - was a different experience. A little misaligned with my preferences, so if you are looking to go with kids younger than 18 and who LOVE arcades, I would like to refer you to some other reviews. If you are above 18, and plan to go for yourself, continue reading.
- Quite a variety for arcade games (too many to name)
- But a lot of them are a little too kiddo-oriented, and I stared at them with little interest as I strolled around the complex looking for something that struck my eye.
Games that are DEFINITELY worth playing:
- Indy car racing (includes shaking and jerks as you maneuver the car - pretty cool!)
- Batting cages (baseball style with different balls (not actual baseballs) - can pick your speed (40-60 mph, 60-75 mph, 75-90 mph or something of that sort). I don't think I know of any other place with batting cages.
That's pretty much all I would re-visit the place for. But then I'm 23.
I wouldn't say I dislike arcade games. I dislike shitty meaningless, dont-do-anything-but-keep-the-trigger-pressed-to-kill-everything arcade games. I was hoping to play a really good shooting game - tried most of them that were there. was severely disappointed. There were some other racing games that didn't quite live up to the expectation -- partly because I hit the Indy-car game twice before moving on to the other racing games.
Price is okay - we got the $25 card for 160 credits - was sufficient between 3 people for 2 hours. Personally, I would rather blow my money at go-karting tracks than at the Playdium. If you have kids though, I am sure you will beg to differ.
