Peanut butter and jelly is the perfect analogy. I liked them when I was a kid, but now I would rather eat something else.
Quoted from RobT:I agree, I don't think it is some kind of huge minority opinion to like AFM more than MM by any stretch at all.
Is it a bigger minority to like Shadow more than both? I like it because of the difficulty. MM and AFM seem a lot like LOTR to me in the extremely long ball times. Shadow just cuts to the chase and kicks your ass! Last poll between the three, Shadow seemed to be gaining ground.
Quoted from RobT:But AFM? Not in my experience.
It is a much faster game than MM, and I can't remember that my ball times were that long while standing in front of yours, but I only played it once. Others it was never that difficult to keep playing for a while. Now that Shadow you used to own takes serious planning and effort on every nudge and shot or you can expect the worse. I have been playing it almost non stop since it got here. The white rubbers only make it tougher. But I love it!
Quoted from Aurich:It got my vote! It's tough to compare all three given the huge monetary discrepancy, it distorts the playing field.
I have an obvious bias about Shadow's art, but there's no question stock that Shadow doesn't compare to AFM and MM.
I wasn't necessarily talking about price or artwork, although you did a very nice job! I was referring to raw gameplay, including layout, modes, and the challenge to complete it. Being that all three were designed by Brian Eddy.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I like Shadow more as well, hence why Shadow is still here and MM is long gone.
This is why I got another one. It was one of my first machines, and at the time it seemed like too much work. But now I like that work.
