Overall a pretty smooth process. Box is well-designed and easy to remove. The machine is packaged very well, and comes with 2 boxes: one with legs and the other with balls/power cord/bolts/etc.
This machine is HEAVY. I have moved and set up a number of heavy machines, but this is the first one where I couldn't lift the back by myself to get the back legs on. I needed two additional helpers (!) to get it done. I think the biggest issues are that the back is very tall and the machine is back-heavy. Otherwise setup is pretty similar to other games.
The sound is WAY better in home than at the shows I played this at. The bass really comes through and the soundtrack fits the game.
Kids are really enjoying it. I've got 4 kids (ages 8-14) and usually I'm lucky to get one interested enough to check out a machine when it comes into the basement. Today all 4 were downstairs for 2 solid hours playing against each other.
The modes are really creative and well-implemented, and the game has a lot of character. Really pleased with my purchase so far!
Quoted from solarvalue:Great to see another P3 thread, did you get Cannon Lagoon also?
Nope, went with CCR. So I'll have a little longer to wait before I do my first module swap.
Quoted from mjfisher:Yep I couldn't lift it myself either - ended up calling my dad over to help lift it.
It's pretty unbelievable the Multimorphic guys hauled several of these machines to multiple shows for years. They must have great health insurance.
Quoted from mjfisher:When you get a chance have a look at creating profiles for you and your kids. It allows you to set different levels of difficulty for each person making it a lot more even when playing against each other.
Good to know, I'll look into it. Thanks!
