Own both. In a vacuum, Afm edges out MB due to greater depth and more challenging play.

Big 6 is the MB's siren song, and you mostly will find yourself dashed against the rocks. I find
myself either playing for that or playing for MOR, MB and MoshPit. Love the MoshPit intro animation.

AFM has more interaction between modes and goals. Love the international and especially the alien theme. Great humor and color DMD adds a lot. Fast with flow. Easier to shop.

Really cannot miss with either, but given the context where both your games have depth and epic depth, I'd might go for MB.

Quoted from Bay78:

WOW, I'm surprised by the vote being 51% AFM and 49% MB and all the talk is mostly AFM. Come on Pinsiders, I want to hear all the great Monster Bash stories out there. Also can someone explain Big 6 on MB? I know about Lyman's Lament but I haven't heard of Big 6.

Hate being negative, and apologies to Sheets, but The Lament to me was a huge disappointment. I was expecting some kind of informative narration, but it reminded me of a whining Valley Girl.

Quoted from mechslave:

Yeah, because Lyman didn't want to do it. It was sort of a joke on him and all Gomez's idea. So he went in and reluctantly did the voice work for it, as I understand the story. The result is Lyman speaking in that annoying stoner complainer voice while you're trying to play, the exact effect that Gomez was going for.

Thanks Mechslave. Makes a little more sense now;his heart wasn't in it, and that comes across in spades in his voice.

Where did you learn that?
