Quoted from dmbjunky:I was just getting ready to post this. I just saw the vid and the game looked great. I played it at Expo but didn't have much of an idea about what I was doing. Like the skill shot, I just revved it up really fast not knowing it was supposed to be in the yellow. It looked like rules were pretty great and I would definitely like to play it more.
It's amber, not yellow! Now shoot the gah-rage!
Quoted from jonnyo:Bowen gets to the wizard mode in the video. He also mentions that additional modes are being worked on.
Final Challenge is one wizard mode, World Championship (or Race Final or whatever it is called) is another, and was not seen in the video.
Quoted from jonnyo:I see. That's pretty good because it seemed a bit easy to get to.
Final Challenge would be the equivalent of Royal Madness in Medieval Madness, both in terms of approximate difficulty and the means of getting there.
World Champion would be more like defeating the King of Payne, probably more difficult than that because each race is a mode, and if you shouldn't time them out if you want World Champion to be worth a lot.
Quoted from Cheeks:Game was fun to play at expo, and the rules look like a blast here. I still have hardware / QC concerns. I had issues when I played one, and watching here, there seemed like some issues. The flipper hold needed adjusting (probably minor) and the inner right loop never made it to the left return lane the way it is supposed to. This was the case on some of them at expo too. I would hope these can be adjusted, but the inner loop being off seems to be common on this machine and a bummer since this is one of the most fun and unique shots on a game in a long time.
A strong left-flipper shot should make the loop, and I think it happens at least once or twice in the video. I avoid aiming for the inner loop from the left flipper, because if you miss, you've got a good chance of losing the ball without being able to recover. I haven't seen this an issue on either of the Full Throttle machines I have played on location.
