Sounds like I'll have a PSN copy for sure to give away...
So far impressions (After taking the overall #1 on two tables)
Spidey - absolutely insane ramps and rails in this one. It's going to take a while to get used to it.
Blade - decent table, tough when it gets dark and glowy though
Wolvie -
Iron Man - almost pure ramp action.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
SPent more time last night with this...
Iron Man table - least favorite of them all. As mentioned, all ramps, all the time.
Spidey - totally growing on me.
Wolverine - the table top is colored in a way that hides the ball sometimes, so that's distracting. Still a great table though. The ball save is interesting, if it goes out hte right lane when it's activated, the screen dims and a timer starts. you then need to make a specific ramp before time runs out to save the ball.
Blade - Also starting to like this one more and more.

Is Wolverine the one table we might want to turn on that stupid glowing ball effect they added to FX2? Do you think that might help the ball pop out from the background?
edit: Also, Iron Man has more ramps than Spider-Man? That seems kind of strange. also a bummer if it is the worst table - the videos made me think Iron Man looked like the coolest of the bunch.

re: glowing effect - perhaps. I didn't change that.
the ramps are differnet in spiderman vs IM. IM has basically a 1/2 circle of ramps, divided into 6 or so different ramps. But again, it's my opinion on the table being the worst of the bunch. Still better than any table in PFX1 however.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
OK - I figured out the Iron Man table last night, was 1 shot away from having to take down Ultimo. Yet still only ended up with under 40M points...but good enough to be 2x the #2 person on the leader boards so far. It's still not the best table IMO... and to go back to someone's point about the ramps in Spiderman..there are a lot in there too, but it's so fast that it feels totally different.
Can't wait to see everyone's scores starting next week - some real competition rather than these loser reviewers.

I just saw on xbox.com that FX2 now has a total score of 850, so I guess they already updated the title and you can get 50 points per table on the Marvel tables.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
Got to spend some time with the tables last night and I think the Wolverine one is easily my favorite. (Blade being my least favorite as of right now.) LOVE the comic accuracy they fit into the Wolvie table though. That makes it super awesome in and of itself. (The regeneration, the Fastball Special, the annual Sabertooth fight, the Hand, etc.) Need to study up on the Spider-Man table a bit more as it seems really fun and I don't mind the Iron Man one at all. There's just something about the Blade table I don't like. It seems way smaller than the others or something. It feels too confined?
I do find a few tables have instant lose spots though where if a ball reacts to a certain thing, like rolling back down a ramp, there was no way at all for me to save it. On the Wolverine table I also find my ball going out on the left side quite a bit.
