Well I have had MMr set up a week now so I thought I would give my conclusions so far as to my experience of the game, would be interested to hear other peoples experiences.
First of all game looks great and build quality seems good....so far.
Negatives are the insert text is almost transparent on some of the inserts and is difficult to read, this seems to be a problem with games after 500 (reading on the MMr forum).
Speaker panel is not so great, was hard to fit and does bow out at the bottom.
I have been getting a repeated catapult target switch error but put that down to being a shot which is not often made.
Left troll does need more of a hit to trigger so need to adjust.
Screen tearing is apparent but waiting for colour DMD so should fix it.
Callouts are hard to hear and drowned out and really needs a fix.
Gameplay.....
Now I messed with the flipper angle and the pitch so maybe just the way I set it up but wow is mine a drain monster. If the ball goes anywhere near those outlanes it is worse than a TZ, it drains.
Balls firing off the slings will hit something and just plop STDM.
Random flipper hits and you are asking for a drain.
You also have to be exact with your shots or it will rattle a ramp entrance or hit a post and goodbye ball.
Again, like TZ, one game in 10 you will hit the spot and everything will go right, you make the shots and hit the scores and then you are loving it, then you foul a shot and game over. I don't know whether to hit it with a hammer or just push the start button again, so far I have only done the latter!
Troll madness multiball is glass smashing time as so many balls just hit the glass as the trolls alternate it makes you want to lose the balls so it will stop!
Now I know I'm not great at pinball but if you put enough hours in a game you usually get to know it but this thing is so addictive but so unforgiving it is frustrating the hell out of me.
Don't get me wrong I love this machine but if I cradle the ball on the left flipper and shoot for the dragon ramp if I hit it 2 in 10 I am lucky, yes its probably just me being not so good but it looks an easy shot from a flipper cradle and I keep asking myself how do I get it so wrong.
Let me know how you other MMr owners are getting on and if it's just me I will look to set it up again or just get better!
