Well played multiball! Looks pretty sweet to me.
For those who have played...does the book help you to understand what is going on during gameplay? Is it a cool feature? There was a lot of flack over the first placement of it a year ago and they had to get rid of some of the barrel pops to accommodate its current location.
Some of my thoughts based on the vids:
Sounds and call outs sound great.
Gandolf voice is spot-on.
Smaug call outs a little repetitive during the multiball (hopefully they can add some variety in there)
This needs gold flipper bats or something else with a little more pizzazz. Who sells gold flipper bats? I will probably order some as soon as hear of my SE shipping.
As stated 1000's of time...upper right flipper doesn't seem to do much. It will be interesting to see how they incorporate it into code.
Ring button looks like it had either an 'activate' function or "points" score. For those who have played, can you elaborate on what you had to do with that?
Overall, I'm very excited. This is so much better than last year. The wait has been long and it is disappointing that I think there is little chance I have mine by Christmas but at least I have something which I can really look forward to.
