Not worth the buy. While the shots are fun the game is severely unbalanced by the 5-ball multiball with 12x playfield scoring.

I had one for a while. Sold it to a friend a few months back. I was over playing it last night so my mind is fresh on it. It definitely has a lot of cool things going for it. Cool skill shot, cool manual kickback, the ability to hit balls from the bottom of the atom smasher and start an instant mini multiball. That being said the game is heavily weighted scoring wise on the atom smasher multiball. It trumps everything by a long shot. The problem with that is it's a carryover feature that leaves the balls in the smasher until you power the game down. So basically you can start a new game shoot one ball into the atom smasher and if there are already 4 in there from the previous game it'll start the highest scoring mode in the game. I would say because of the scoring system it doesn't make a great multiplayer game. Your guest comes over plays a seemingly long ball/game, you make one shot into the atom smasher and crush his score. I told my friend last night we should try and come up with a way to drain the balls inbetween games. It's a fun single player game though.
