Metallica (Pro) Stern, 2013

So I got to play about 15 games on it last night.
Over all an solid 9
The Pros:
Dots are the best I have seen. Rules with actual combos ( sorry xmen owners) 2 mulitballs played.
This game is Iron man the shots are almost all the same except the mystery hole. Very fast. Sound is very good.
The Cons:
Stern needs to redesign their drop targets. These are the worst. When I saw the playfield I said this is what I loved about the game. But so many bricks just tell you to stay away from the shot. Same flaw as ACDC. Cannot start the song from where it ended the ball before. If you have a good ball then drain, the whole song restarts.

But very good product. I would maybe buy a prem if I didnt need a ST LE.

I think the "Cannot start the song from where it ended the ball before" was addressed in 1.06. Any idea what code version you played?

I've read a few things here on the drop targets. I haven't played Metallica yet but do have a WPT...what's the issue with them?

Just like all others that you hit them solid and instead of dropping the act like a brick wall and the ball goes right down the drain. Give me Bally drops any day

Nothing. Those drop targets are magical once you get enough games in and muscle memory the shot
They also build the multiplier!! Genius. Music starts like 5 secs before where you were at draining previous ball. V1.06
This game rocks

I was just at GameWorks last Saturday, and they didn't have it yet. They must have just gotten it in.

That's was cool to see you say that you "needed " an ST.Only a Trekkie gets that true meaning.

Enchanted Castle has 2 Metallica's...not far from GameWorks

Finally one that's closer to my commute home. I might get to play it yet

I agree love the rules plays very fast

Looks like a keeper.
