Quoted from rosh:as most here know, it is a very fast and challenging game, and does take the right strategy to complete all four objectives, with winning the race by far the toughest (and there is a bug in the code relative to that bit me one time and really pissed me off). Too bad it does not have a true wizard mode. It is one of those games that I need to play a couple of games on before I can find the groove and actually have a good game.
I have had a really nice one for a few years, supposed to go to a buddy in Detroit as his first pin (he is a huge race fan and has been to something like 35 straight Indy 500s), but have yet to have room in my SUV when I've been there to visit. I'll miss it when it finally goes, but not a game that is a 'must keep', but right now don't know anyone else who has one, so, will be bummed when it leaves (whenever that may happen). Don't think I have ever seen one at expo.
It's true. No real wizard mode is a downer. It doesn't make me dislike the game. But it would've been cool to have a "victory lap" meltable wizard mode with say a 30 second ball saver. Hit as many ramps as possible for jackpots. Don't kill me for an analogy but like Monopoly's land grab.
Still I think the reason it ends after winning the 500 is it's meant to be more like a race. Once it's over, it's over.
I miss having I500. True love/hate experience. Either it'll make you a better player or you'll smash the glass.
