Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Stern, 2004Yesterday, not long after downloading the game, I scored 61,624,770 after probably a 20-25 minute game. I got 3 or 4 extra balls, 30+ idols, and ~15 jewels. I got 3 super jackpots and several multiballs. I completed all continents. It was awesome. But that's probably because I've had time to practice on the iPhone version before the release.
Quoted from kwiKimart:For some reason on TOM, the trunk shots are easier on the real one than the virtual one.
I agree!
Yeah it's almost too easy on the Pinball Arcade. I got another 50 million last night without much effort. Thank goodness we actually have one on route here (although not in the best working condition).
Quoted from MWC:Does anyone else have a slight delay with the flippers when you push the PS3 controller L1 and R1 buttons?
Its not really a delay...its just everyone is used to the trigger buttons and not using those top bumpers buttons...and they work MUCH better. You just have to get used to the "feel" of it! You will get the timing down....keep practicing.

I felt the same way about the PS3 version, the Vita does not suffer from the same issue. You will get used to it eventually.

+1 to that.
Very nice.. my high is close to 40 million on the xbox. The high score overall is over a Billion.. that is just insane.
I managed a 298 million, made it to Atlantis twice and Frog frenzy, if only it was that easy in real life!! Me and Keith Elwin would be battling it out for that number one spot

I noticed that too. It appears to do the collision detection on the trunk object, whereas the actual game uses that eddy sensor just ahead of the trunk. I think that's the difference. In the real game you don't have to 'nail' the trunk, in the virtual one you do.
