Hasn’t got old in a year for me. (Ok, 10 months). I also have MB, TZ, Houdini, POTC, DW. And a P3 with Heist on the way. EHOH is still the most-played game. It’s a fairly easy shooter... sort of. But it’s the right mix of fun and challenging, and you don’t get to even half the game with most plays. I don’t, anyway. There is so much to see..

The ONLY exception to this ever, is MB

I'm only an average player, but this is one of those games that can be "as hard as you want it to be" - for a beginner, definitely easy to understand and get into. An average player can get fairly far, but you do have to be fairly good to get anywhere meaningful. The shots aren't revolutionary, but it's FUN for sure. I'm not sure if a super championship tournament player would adore it - maybe! I don't understand the thinking around the playfield layouts - lots of people say they want a new, challenging layout, but when one comes out (Houdini, Oktoberfest), it gets all kinds of hate. JP2 has a pretty interesting playfield, but my initial impressions were that it wasn't that different from IMDN. Great layout either way though.

No idea - I could see some really long ball times for a master shooter - that's the problem with the fan layout, isn't it? It's not the layout itself, it's that it's immanently familiar. There's 5,000 games with the same shots. I have lots of games where I'm just fooling around and have dumb drains, but if I concentrate I can put up 500 million fairly regularly. The playfield multipliers are pretty easy to get, too, so super high scores arent' that tough.
