A quick update on the review. I've put in a bit of time and have played every scene to completion except for "stay puft". I only got a flip or two in that mode so cannot comment on this although there is youtube video of it.
For shear excitement and pressure cooking pinball, this game has it in spades. The final scenes to we kicked its ass and the prequel to stay puft are just down right tough for your mental fortitude. Without giving any modes away, a player can be faced with making nearly every playfield shot available, then hit a moving slimer several times, and then when you think it must be over, alternating shots are required. And during all this is the madness of trying to control the ball. I've played many titles that one can keep bashing the ball around until you gain control, but not this game, you just don't have time. Try to make a shot while the ball is out of control and miss a shot and it usually means instant death. Losing the ball is always present on your mind and that really adds to the pressure.
A lot of games I've played like my fav TZ involves modes where you repeatedly hit a shot like 'clock mode' etc. GB modes are more a sequence of shots that could involve them to be completed in a strict order and all must be completed in an allocated time frame. Dunno how many times I've had one more shot to do and the time runs out and now you have to complete additional tasks to have the opportunity to start that mode again. That is if you don't stuff up and start a different scene or lose the ball.
That is where the frustration comes in and the pressure/panic becomes even more intense.
If you own this game, you're in for a wild ride, and if you have to pay $2 a game, then see your bank manager for a loan or psychiatrist because you'll probably be a mental mess. The silly thing is the game is fun, go figure???
This definitely should be a top 10 title in my opinion and that's not because I'm a biased owner.
Thanks for listening.
