Meh, I love playing mine, but I think it's the music and the working of the crowd noises when you hit jackpots that builds up the fun more than anything.
I'm starting to get a bit of a gripe with the game as of late. I love playing it, but the rules are becoming more shallow to me than ever before. I know that's a bold statement, but hear me out:
The rules on paper, when reading the walkthrough someone made, appear outstanding, and they are. But when you play, really, you are doing the one thing for that song that opens up all the jackpot shots, shooting through all those, and moving on to the next song to try to complete them all. Do you really care honestly about how each calculate the points, which again is done very well, but really, 4-5 jackpot shots in each are in the same ballpark as any other song, yes there are things that change that but are you really trying to go for that, or are you hitting what you have to and attempting to start another song?
Of course you are trying to combine each mode with a MB, but this comes down to the easiest and more safest path which is hitting the ramps and starting Jam MB, then doing the song mode.
This in the end, comes down to a very similar play for each mode: do the thing that lights the jackpots for all shots, hit the ramps, start Jam (maybe mixed in with the other MBs when they become lit), and playing out the MB, in which at the end, the mode usually has made the 8 shots, rinse and repeat (I hate that term, but true) with the next song. You don't have much difference at all in the modes, so although there are 12 modes, you are doing the same basic stuff for each one.
The key is loading up the song JP, and hopefully cashing out with a 2x, but really, tell me you all aren't doing the same thing as this.
Again, great rules, phenomenal when you read through them, but 90% are lost in the subtle nature they are executed and even acknowledged by most.
