Quoted from Rarehero:RFM is a great game that uses the technology well.
Quoted from skink91:I would recommend playing RFM before buying it. I thought it was terrible.
I owned both (one cab, both playfields), and as usual, the answer is in the middle.
RFM is a very mediocre game. It has lots of humor and jokes, and flows pretty well, but the gameplay is very one dimensional. Nothing stacks at ALL. You're in a mode, or in the main multiball, or in martian attack, or in hypno beam, or in one of the three bonus waves... but only ever in one 'thing' at a time. Singular objectives always. And it never changes. Great game for a few months as you explore all of it, then you'll likely lose interest as it's just chopping wood.
SW:ep1 is a steaming pile... I honestly question whether it's even worth the 1K or so a playfield kit would cost you. Takes the worst aspects of RFM and ditches the good parts. But it does have a nice bonus countdown lightshow for what that's worth.
My advice, find another short game. Breakshot replaced my RFM/Ep1 combo and I don't miss 'em at all.
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:I need something around that length so it doesn’t stick out to far in my seating area - my wife wouldn’t like that
Ah, if you mean shorter length, not height, splurge and get yourself a Safecracker. It's the shortest length of all and much more interesting.
