Quoted from VegasAlleycat:

I love the power ball! It does really speed things up and makes things more challenging. Yes, for multi-player games it adds a certain randomness that may not always balance fairly between players, but it really pushes you to maximize your time on any given powerball because you never know if you are going to get it back!

I'd not heard of this... is it like the powerball in TZ? If so, does the game recognise it like TZ does so that the game is somehow adjusted when it's in play, or is it just that Stern bunged a powerball in there and is has not actual effect on the game?

Not played this game, so don't know if magnets are used...

I enjoyed the film and think this game is beautiful (especially the backglass!) so I can imagine picking one up at some point, so am trying to get a feel for what the LE has to offer over the pro...

Quoted from EchoVictor:

The "Navi" ball used in the LE is the same lighter ceramic style ball as the one used in TZ. The game does recognize when it is put into the trough, as it starts "Navi scoring", which I think is 2X. The most interesting aspect to me is when you get a good multi-ball going and you have both the normal steel balls and the ceramic ball going at the same time. It really messes with you (in a good way)... []

Thanks... I assume you mean 'shooter lane' and not trough

Here's a great rundown of what is different on the LE:

Quoted from PluffMudPinball:

In addition to the 2X scoring strategy having the Navi ball in play allows you to make multiple head-on shots at the amp suit without the magnet throwing it STDM. You then have amp suit multiball with the Navi ball in play (as well as 2X scoring).

That makes the LE sound even more attractive since it intruduces some strategy...

Dumb question, but you can't just bung a powerball in a pro and change the code to the LE and get it to work... I'm pretty sure the pro won't have the sensor in the shooter lane for the metal ball, but just thought I'd ask 'just in case'

Quoted from smassa:

Youve owned a TZ & dont know what a powerball is??? []

Ah, you mean it's the thing that you have to shoot into the Gumball machine, but here the AMP Suit is the gumball machine?? Now I'm lost again
