Look I own the game th have had it for while. Love it ! It is amazing how the same shots dressed up differently feel different. 1 up to the programmer. Yes it does have fewer shots. And yes I personally wish it had more. But damn guys a lot of pins have less shots and still are great pins. It's the package u gotta look at. It's coming along great and will keep improving. 1.20 code is a blast ! Into the fire is really cool and a great example of how the package is what makes the game. To me it's not lotr yet but there are things in the game that are better. Again I really really think people got pissed for how long it took the game to come out and they want to bury jjp. And some people are just Debbie downers.
I remember not to long alone a lot I mean lot of people bashed stern how it's like they are pin gods. Finally th not lotr but could pull it off? Maybe time tells.
Peace out
