Thats ok it takes some people longer then others to acknowledge greatness when they come across it.

The playfield art may not be better but the gameplay/rules more then makes up for it and shines over Metallica.

Thats like saying would you rather eat a nice Filet Mignon (acdc) or some finely cook Spam (avengers). I guess some people like spam somewhere in the world.

Its best to not stack MB's if your goal is trying to work to encore. If playing for max score you really dont want to play more then 4-6 songs in the game & which may be determined by which Song Bonus you are close to in either Tour or Album MB. Getting the triple stack can be very nice if you pick the right song to potentially collect 3 song jackpots (bonus & regular)

Kept the wrong Steve Ritchie game.

I like Metallica quite a bit but this game definitely falls heavily into the "klunk factor" style of play. Everything on it of any value is a clunky feeling shot. For this reason alone it will never reach the fun factor that ACDC gives. Great code though, just too bad it doesnt have a more flowing Playfield like IM or even RS.

Both versions. All the major playfield items (Snake, Grave Markers, Captive Ball & Sparky) all have a somewhat clunky feel to them.

It's just the nature of the shots. Don't get me wrong it's a fun game with great code but sometimes the shots feel unsatisfying.
