Quoted from knockerlover:Time will tell. Metallica has more going for it than just theme, that’s for sure. But I think there are a lot more Maiden fans than Metallica fans worldwide, and with the new platform, the material to draw from, the design team involved, and the growth of Pinball in general, I still think this will do better than Met.
Either way, I’m excited that Pinball is growing and new awesome themes are being released all the time.
Maiden has sold 90 million records worldwide to Metallica's 125 mil. I'm not saying Metallica is better, but they are more popular. Both are globally well known.
Put several hours on the game at superelectric today. I'm by no means a maiden fan but the music certainly lends itself to pinball and I found several i could enjoy. The game is just awesome. The shot variety, the shot smoothness, the speed, the rules, the art, the fun factor, such well thought out modes, etc. It is literally one of the best games I've played in a very long time. I'm shocked in every way by the release.
Here's some minor nuances that I noticed
When you plunge the skill shot, you get 1 try, you can still keep ball save on short plunges and drain over and over but no second try at the skill shot- great code detail
That flasher mounted upside down is great, it keeps from blinding you but flashes the field
Mini flipper up loops give less points- another great detail
The modes without multiball allow you to still get multiball to help you finish them- again great code detail
What does the game need? The display font should be the maiden font, more animations with better smoothing.
Edit: forgot to add, the game is so fast, I hope the premium toys don't slow it down
