My vote, Congo. I love the game, but the way the ball heads directly across the play field for the skill shot really bugs me. When I shoot the ball on Flintstones it feels good. With Creature, I like the fact that you can give the shot more or less power for drastically different outcomes, especially with the overshoot/full loop option. On Johnny M, the skill shot seems smooth and deliberate, even if only a 3/4 loop is possible. On those games, the ball travels down the right side, to the back, then either makes it all the way around the loops or at least half way around. Even on TFTC, which has a direct skill shot without using the loops or the back of the play field, the shot is quick and satisfying. On TOTAN, the fact that you can hit one of 3 holes on the ramp is cool. On Congo, the skill shot just seems wrong. I always feel underwhelmed when initially shooting the ball (I think cuz the ball is being shot across the playfield), and I end up hardly ever getting the skill shot by hitting the targets. It's almost always on the quick drain/kickback. It's like my machine is incapable of allowing the ball to hit the targets, no matter how hard or soft I shoot the plunger. The rest of the game is awesome, but the skill shot on Congo sucks.
