Iron man review

Pinball news have finished their in-depth look at iron man, Part two with all the rules etc is here:

http://www.pinballnews.com/games/ironman/index5b.html

I recently got the chance to have a few games of Iron man, and think it is a good game, it has cool ramps, fun shots (war machine shooting back at you keeps you on your toes), and the use of magnets I really loved (I am a bit partial to the use of magnets to control pinballs  ).
It is not the greatest game ever, but it is a good fun, fast paced game.
Its always nice to play a brand new pinball, while all the rubbers and playfield are perfect and the flippers nice and snappy

Thanks for the link Matt. I played one a  few weeks back, and found it pretty enjoyable.

Shows something about modern pinball - the theme can dominate whether a game will be a good one or not (dominate - not definitive).

Here we have a re-birthed Austin Powers (ipdb rating 6.5) now re-themed as Iron Man (ipdb rating 7.9).

Very true, although I enjoyed the Austin Powers movies, I was not a huge fan of the game, change the theme, add a few different toys, change rules and Stern have produced a decent game in the current minimalist market.

One thing i dont like on iron man is that it no longer has any support side brackets so when you lift the playfield it a pain in the ass as you only have two rods for support..

If they took them off to save some money there kidding themselves as you run a big risk of doing damage to uder the playfield when trying to work on it.Had to get the miss to help me last night doing the shacker motor and just wasn't a good feeling .

Found these today http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=1956&parent=272 witch will solved the problem.Would have paid the extra to have them include when it was made.
