Blade is a grower.

I've spent the least time with it. It takes me a ton of playthroughs to get use to the tables. I'm sure once I learn what the hell is going on with it I'll open up a bit more to it.

I really like all the tables in the few rounds I've played each. Spider-Man is probably my favorite since its the one I'm able to get into a decent groove in. I like Wolverine a lot too, but the playfield seems small to me. I like the layout of Iron Man, haven't had a lot of time to figure the table out yet though. Blade seems to have some interesting things going on, but I only got the chance to play it once so far.

L&O...how effing long was that game of 135 million on Spider-Man?! That's friggin' stupid.

I really want to go home and play more of the Marvel tables. I only got in a few games on each. So far Blade is my favorite (crazy, huh?), and Iron Man is my least favorite. Really hate how much the ball tends to go down one of the side gutters on both Iron Man and Wolverine.

Liver&Onions

156 million. And as of last night I was down to rank #21

I don't remember, at least 20 minutes though. Once you hit a specific mode each ramp becomes at least 1.5 million per shot though for a limited time..and hitting the Goblin ramp, then the Doc Ock ramp(s) is fairly easy to do. So that's where my points came from, as I was only at Level 2 for Goblin, 1 for Mysterio, 1 for Doc Ock...

I agree. I actually laughed out loud when I saw his score. Even the leaderboard truncates the numbers. Almost as if it is admitting the score is stupid high.

My bad.

I can see this game being a really hard sell to folks based on a few trials. You almost need to sink an hour or more into a table to really start learning the ins and outs of what exactly is going on and what to do. One of the few games that gets better and better the more I play because there's just so much to learn about each individual table. As a whole the offerings are deceptively simple. Once you get playing a few games you realize just how complex they all can be.

Spider-man is by far my favorite and seems to have the best layout. I like just how packed the Blade table is with different objectives. The Wolverine table is ok. I like that it is kind of a smaller 80s style, but not that thrilled with the objectives. I despise the Ironman table though. Every mission is the same thing. Hit every ramp including that stupid one that you have to hit off the upper left flipper. Same thing over and over. Terrible and it also has some bad angles and bad bounce back when you are off a bit. Overall though I'm very happy with the set and they are well worth $10.

question:

I am interested in Marvel Pinball. Do I have to spend 800 points on Pinball FX2 and 800 points on the Marvel tables or can I just spend 800 points on Marvel and be ok?

Liver&Onions

Download PFX2 the free version (it's an engine for the game) then from within there you can download the Marvel tables and demo any other one you may want.

Spiderbite

Take a look at your Spider-man leaderboard now Liver! [evil bad guy comic book laugh] mhahahahahahaha! [evil bad guy comic book laugh]

Liver&Onions

As long as it's not you, I don't care.

Liver&Onions

Son of a fucking bitch!

Spiderbite

I actually was getting sweaty trigger fingers as I was creeping up closer and closer. I knew I was going to fuck it up. What sucks is I beat you and still had a ball left. Then I lose that next ball right off the bat. I was hoping to break 200 million but beating you for the moment is reward enough. Cheers!

superfro

lol. Yeah...doesn't that suck L&O?

xmiyux

L&O has been used to only having one ball for years.

Liver&Onions

yeah well, since i had to move onto other games for reviewing purposes, i'm not too concerned. The shit just got real though.

Liver&Onions

Wait a goddamned second, why the fuck is peanut gallery member #1 and #2 chiming here? Take your 5 million and fuck the right off!

Spiderbite

So is that what I think it is...pinball innuendo? Nerds!

xmiyux

Well I can't compete on score so I need to get my digs in where I can.

Guys = innuendo
video game pinball = nerds

We are all guilty.

Spiderbite

This has to be the greatest statement ever in regards to a pinball challenge. Next up is:

ANytime my score moves past yours I just imagine Senor Chang

Everybody probably knows this already since I'm most likely the very last person to go through the menus... But there is a page with the rules to each table in the help menu while in game. It doesn't do a fly-over (which I would really like) but at least explains how to do different mini-games.

I finally understand why I was randomly beating the Green Goblin and what exactly I am supposed to do with Doc Oc.

Does the Spider-Man table not have a normal multiball btw?

Also, I finally got my lame score of 15 mil on Spidey up to 87 mil. Still like half what Liver and Spider have but am working on it.

The more people's scores increase the more I pity them. It's really an adverse effect.
