We originally purchased Marvel pinball and have been happy with it. I would say X-Men feels a lot like Theatre of Magic to me. X-Men, FI and Thor capture this fairly well, and FF comes pretty close (just hate the Storm ramp that leads nowhere). I like the Medieval Madness or Monster Bash style with multiple lanes, where I can really get on a roll. It's a little too herky-jerky for my tastes and it's difficult to get a rhythm going. Venom and Ghost Rider are perfectly fine, I'm just not a fan of the split-playfield style of game. Wolverine is up there, but maybe a step below the aforementioned. X-Men, Thor, Fear Itseld and FF are the best of the lot, IMHO. ![]() The reality is they just don't capture the depth, complexity and magic of some of the Williams greats, but we already knew that going in. Some of the tables are very good, some are fair, only a couple are downright terrible (why we got the god-awful Civil War over the fantastic Captain America, I will never understand). ![]() I haven't played the SW tables in the A1U format yet so I can only speak to Marvel. But from a purely gameplay perspective AFM is BY FAR the best. I don't see anything wrong with buying the Star Wars or Marvel machines if you really dig either franchise. It might be fun to just snack the ball around and hear call-outs from the movie but that ain't the real Luke etc.īut if you play AFM.get a multiball going and then have it scream Jackpot! Jackpot! Jackpot! And eventually Suuuuuupppppper Jackpot! That real gets the blood flowing. ![]() You'll rarely see a Bally / Williams title have you hit the same shot so many times for so little feedback.Īnd don't get me started on the licensing compromises made. AFM has similar shot accumulation to start Total Annihilation, but at least you get a cool sound bite when you shoot Big O Beam etc. There are literally tables where you hit a lights a letter.and nothing else. And until I spell them nothing happens.and even if I spell them nothing all that interesting happens. Meaning sure 'Tusken' is a Star Wars word but it also seems like you just needed a six letter word for that ramp. When I look at the majority of the Star Wars tables I see bland loops where I'm asked to spell random words that don't always even seem all that relevant.
