Quoted from BriGuy5:Good catch on the pinball in the logo reflecting the hobbit playfield. Nice touch
I also see scores greater than a million.
In sticking with their theme of being 30 years out of date on scoring, they have advanced from EM scores to early 7 digit scores. 
But seriously, I didn't like WOZ, but I am excited about this one. Maybe this will be the breakthrough for JJP.
Quoted from DarkWizard:I agree, I mean scoring like AFM and TOM is way over the top, but MM level scoring at least would be nice... As trivial as it is, that's one of my problems with WOZ, the extremely low scoring even still I love the game.
I have my pre-order in either way, not changing.
I would use LOTR as the benchmark, it will be strange that Hobbit scoring is lower than LOTR.
(or maybe Jack is just a really poor player!)
Quoted from DarkWizard:I agree about it being a design decision, which actually seems to work ok on WOZ , but I think an extra 0 at the end, would be well worth the time investment to add it. It should be comparable to what it will getting compared to, LOTR.
It seems like x20 would put it closer to LOTR than x10, but that depends on how good of a game these high scores are.
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:I'd much rather see higher scoring in the millions. I thought WOZ had low scoring for an old-time nastalgia feeling?
Well, that was Jack's excuse, anyway.
Maybe the people of middle-earth just can't count higher than 9 million.
Quoted from TheRingMaster:Would be cool with a real fire breathing smaug! Smaug Will live, not done before as far as i know. Not sure if it would be possible to do safely though but maybe with some gas torch thing =)
The best non-actually-damaging way to get this effect that comes to my mind is strands of fiber optic popping out of his mouth for a moment. But that may just look cheesy, tho that never stopped JJP before.
Quoted from playernumber4:I'm more concerned about not being able to use more than 3 initials for your high score than worried about how many digits the actual scoring goes to. A win is a win and a loss is a loss regardless of how many digits it records.
At least give me the option of using 10 letters so everyone else knows who you are and can comment over the beer afterwords.
The more letters in the high score table, the more creative we can be in trying to troll it.

Quoted from HENSBROOKER:Smaug is still a big mystery of how it will get implemented in the game. I got to think how great it would be if Smaug could really speak and interact with the player. Like it can talk and move it's head. Follow ball movements for example.
Of-course with the deep voice loudly over the speaker -> "I feel you... I smell you... Don't be shy... STEP INTO THE LIGHT!"
