Quoted from PBFan:

I agree with the OPs assessments. IM is a great game all around but I think the ball times are too long and (for me) I suspect it will make the game feel like a grind in the long run.

Iron Man ball times are too long? You must be the best player ever!

If you like difficulty go with Houdini. IMDN looks great but it does look like it might (might) get tiresome with longish ball times. I'm like you, I prefer shorter games.

This thread has moved IMDN down on my interested list and moved Houdini up. I don't like long playing pins for the most part.

For example: Sold LOTR (and I should have sold it years sooner)
Love Iron Man!

Quoted from Jkush18:

I did play Iron Maiden this weekend and it was so fun just hitting the loops over and over.

That's what scares me about it. I don't know becasue I haven't played one yet but it looks like it might be a little on the "easy" side.

Quoted from Billy16:

I wouldn't let that deter you, this game is far from easy--most of us will never make it to the multiple wizard modes. Keith packed so many shots (and some are pretty tough) into Maiden that it is almost mind numbing. The two shots off the upper left flipper make Gem seem easy.

Quoted from PinMonk:

I've been playing it pretty hard for over a month and have yet to see Number of the Beast Wizard Mode or Run to the Hills Super Wizard mode at all. Been close to Number of the Beast a few times, but I need to go through that to get to Run to the Hills, and that seems a long way off, still. It's plenty hard if you leave the outlanes wide open and limit extra balls to 1 or 2.

By easy I mean longish ball times...not completing the game. LOTR is an "easy" game to me but I've never been close to Valinor.
