Tron is in the mix but again where to find one. Same IM

To quickly take these out of the equation, avengers, xmen and star trek. Anyone owned these with an opinion?

Own none of them but loved Xmen every time I've played it. Both the Pro and LE are great games. Star Trek was lots of fun also but I've only played it a handful of times. Avengers was not for me. Looks great, just not my cup of tea.
Personally my favorite Stern by a long shot is Metallica but I'd love more time on an Ironman as well. I think I could really get into that game.

How is the sound upgraded on SM VE?  It's the same audio track as the original but with different call outs?
The dots on the VE look great, I can't stand ultimate sm art, so the art on the ve is a huge fail imo. There are so many better versions of spidey than ultimate, such a shame.
Maybe this was all Marvel allowed them to use?
Buy a 2nd hand Original SM for between 5-7k and buy another game with the savings.

would be the true stereo + bass woofer. I know you don't like the band, but the KISS songs sound like they are coming straight out of a Hi Fi system. It makes a massive difference.

I spoke to Joe at KJWHF tonight and we spoke about Tron - I told him I might be interesting in buying one - he sounded like he had one for sale  #@#

The new spiderman ve - Could be a good choice as I do not think a lot will be sold here so could be collectable later, is also a very proven game with great code.
Metalica prem - Fans seem to love it but I think you need to really like the band? Great code also
Kiss prem with the hope of the coding being finished one day - As above without the code? Unproven?
Walking dead prem - The ducks guts right now! People are loving the code. Theme is awesome but as Pete said tough game to play. Lots of centre drains.
Game of thrones prem or le?? - To early to tell, seems like it will have a very deep and varied ruleset.

Tron - Best game EVER!!!! Ok I may be biased, good code, not an overly deep game. Make sure you like the theme and may be hard to find.
Iron Man - Fast, hard game. Very simple rule wise (not necessarily a bad thing) VE still may be around to buy?
X-Men - Lots of shots and very deep ruleset, could be hard to find. Storms voice drives me crazy on this personally!
Avengers - Super tight shots, does not seem to get much love. Bargain on AA for a Hulk ATM?
Star Trek - Lots of fast flowing shots if you like that, again have to like the theme I would say. Also may be hard to find if you are looking now.
Lord of the Rings - Super deep game with lots of interesting shots, complete code. Hard to find.

Also could wait to see Ghostbusters? Looks like art will be amazing and announcement is imminent! I would wait to at least see it before buying anything, unless you know you don't like the theme. Code will obviously be an unknown.

Or you could just buy a MB?  :lol

appreciate the comments, been watching a few tutorials to see the flow and ruleset. I'm still undecided but SM & Metallica seem fore runners. TWD looked good but dunno. May be worth a second watch. Wizard/final modes are what I'm looking for and longevity in the game trying to get to the end. Kiss is winning there as there is no end atm. Just joking.

Tron may be out as I'm concerned I may tire of it. Great game when you have limited access.

keep any comments coming as they do help.

Same here, only got to super hero once and choked on the 2nd level.

I liked Metallica's game play the code is awesome but the music I didn't like (I'm not a fan) Spiderman I've never owned but played a fair bit and enjoyed it and I think you'd like it :) I said to a mate if GB isn't for me I might grab a new Spidy.

Game of Thrones pro at Cragieburn Shopping Centre Timezone if you wanted to check out gameplay. Just sited. Watch for that tight tilt!

Spiderman - the original version not the one with the $3500+ "new and improved" artwork*.

Best game code of the choices listed and a shot layout homage to AFM.

Don't get hooked onto one game

All the games listed are great

If you have the cash, bide your time and get the first one that comes avaliable

SM VE is Sam not Spike.

Damn. All VE's should be on the Spike system.
