Quoted from wtuttle:I also love this game. It is the newest game in my hometown, and just down the block, so I feel spoiled. I have probably played 150 games in the past month. I usually only score about 8-10 million. My best is 30 mil or so. Not even good enough to enter my initials. That said, I really enjoy it, and keep going back for more. The lights blow me away. I can't say I fully understand the modes, though I usually play 'Prime Directive' because it is at the top of the pyramid, and has the most options for shots. If anyone has any recommendations for what modes to play, I would be most grateful.
Basic strategy is play the right 3 (Prime Directive, Space Jump, Save Enterprise) as this leads to lucrative super ramps. Shoot whatever shots are easy for you and don't stress on finishing the mode. Take vengeance or lock shots while ball save is on. Even in bad games you'll wind up with a multiball with super ramps lit. Lots of points out there if you do the double stack (super ramp & spinner) and then head into kobayashi maru
