    My sons and I went to the boardwalk this summer and hit up a few arcades, tucked into the corner of the last arcade we went to was a LOTR. I told them that it was a great game and they would enjoy playing a game. Needless to say they had the volume set to 0 and the experience was horrible and boring, so bad that all 3 of us walked away with balls still to play.

    If you're doing it to practice shots then I fail to see the purpose of no sound, if you don't hear the machine taunting you or the clock ticking to make your shot in a pressure situation than you're really not helping yourself.

    Sound enhances the game it adds drama and tension, without the sound pinball is horrible, like doing a puzzle with the pieces upside down... it's seems incredibly dorky.

    Quoted from kidchrisso:

    I knew that I would get the same reaction from most..."why would you want to fuckin do that"...smoke some more...

    You should try it for a different experience.....you clowns might see your scores go up. Do you really need the handicap of your machine telling you where to go next? You might be surprised that you don't.

    Sometimes if you do not want to hear another view point you shouldn't ask people for their opinions.

    Quoted from swampfire:

    Sorry, I can't hear you.

    Maybe I misunderstood, playing with headphones or while listening to other music wasn't what I meant... playing in silent mode was what I thought we were talking about.
