When I first played Iron Man, I hated it. I thought it was way too simple (TSPP was at that location before IM). I've warmed up to it now that I've played it in competitions, but I still can't see myself spending more then ~$2k for a nice one... so I doubt I'll ever own one. Tron though... I love it, hopefully I'll have a first run PRO in a couple years.

So, in Summary, IM kicks Spiderman's ass in both the pinball world and Superhero VS Superhero.

Agreed On one hand, I hope it gets some tweaks because it could make it even better. On the other hand, it's my favorite game ever at this point, so it isn't like it suffers...

I would like to be able to 'earn' an extra ball w/o hoping to luck into one. (This is my number one complaint).

It could use a real skill shot (w/o having to disable the post)

Agreed, and agreed. The skill shot could just be the "hand less" skill shot or whatever they call it on Elvis. I'd also love a Super Skill Shot by holding the left flipper button, and having the ball feed around to hit something - I would actually vote right orbit - immediately for bigger points.

The instant info is lacking. (OK, how many Drones do I need? How many shots to reach Whiplash? Do I go for it and risk it...)

This is my number one complaint about it. IM is such a technical game, and it doesn't allow you to really know where you sit. Another thing that would help is knowing what you have qualified for DOD, as once you qualify something for DODMB it is constantly flashing... but it may not be qualified for DOD that particular round. Not bad when you only have one thing lit, very confusing with two or more.

I don't like that double scoring timer counts down during the Jericho intro.

That is annoying.

I'd tweak down the Drone difficulty toward DODMB - just one round less! - as that one makes no sense to me why it is so hard like we talked about in that other thread.

I'd tweak a few of the animations. The Whiplash one for an instant flashes how many hits left I think, and then it is gone. Seems like a timing mistake to me. Also, depending on what is going on, it can take the game a little while to think and react to the situation. The best one I can think of is if you hit War Machine to start multiball and then immediately complete Monger to lower him, there will be a delay until the game spits all the MB balls into play before it lowers Monger.

It has a few tiny rough edges like that, which if cleaned up would make this game mind-blowing. I mean, I think it already is...

lol...yeah there is no way spiderman could beat ironman in a fight.

I agree IM would beat SM in a fight but SM wins with me in the pinball world. In the real world we all win.

Iron Man has almost nothing to slow it down. It is pure adrenaline. I wish the scoop in X-men did not exist as I think the game would flow so much better without it.

I checked my audit's this morning before heading to work.
Just to further prove the game is a brutal beast.

Now have in mind I haven't had my game very long, 1.5 weeks.
Here are some of the audits after 290 games of play.

Average Ball time: 47 seconds
Average Game time: 2.31 minutes
Average Score: 8.6 Million

Ahhh ya, Iron Man is not a Marathon game. There is nothing to slow it down.

Lovin' it though. This is my kind of game, fast and furious.....Two words describe
Iron Man to me: ADRENALINE RUSH!

Let me leave you with this clip

Probably true... I thought I had a quick trigger...

I have an IM and SM sitting next to each other on location. People drop more quarters in IM. Some days a lot more.
