Which game do you think has the best code, LOTR or TWDpre/le? Both games have great depth and are alot of fun but which do you think is coded better all around?

LOTR has the 3 main mballs, Fellowship, Two towers, and Return king. Also has Ring mball, super ring frenzy and Gollum 2 ball mball. Destroying the ring mode, There and back again mini wizards, and finish wizard Valinor. Collecting the elf gifts is well coded touch. 6 regular modes that all work really well also.

TWD pre/le has 2 regular mballs, Walker and Prison. Also Blood Bath with add a ball id consider normal mball. Seige which is only collected from Prison mball. Terminus from playing all the modes. Crossbow mball. Horde mball from collecting all the multikill mini-modes. Also Last Man Standing wizard mode. Has walker bombs, Woodbury skill shots, 5 normal modes, and bicycle girl all coded well.

Both games offer great code but which do you think is the winner? If you vote please leave post why you voted for game you picked.

Ring mball is in there. Is there 2 ring mballs? Its been awhile since i had a LOTR here so i might have missed other stuff to.

The 7th gift of the elves is Super Ring Frenzy MB. It's a different mode than Ring MB which is one of the first 6 gifts.

I don't know that it's fair to rate one against the other.
Both codes are a solid AAA+, or 10 out of 10.
The main difference is the style of game. LoTR is a marathon. TWD is a sprint.
Pick your poison and enjoy.
Wish all pinball machines could be as bad ass as these two are.

Your talking more gameplay then code but i do agree about the differences in gameplay. Wonder how close in time it would actually be for somebody that is Pro level player to beat everything on each table?

I play TWD 10x more than LOTR, but when I play LOTR it's for 10x as long...

I play IM more than both though! Much shorter games but many, many more of them!

Probably Tspp is better but all three are great.

I'd say

Tspp
TWD
LotR

In a close race.
