Quoted from metallik:Please explain in a couple paragraphs exactly how TX sector is 5 times *better* than Metallica. Art? nope. Sound? Maybe, if you like NES. Gameplay? Nope (TX is all about spinner exploit and not much else). Value? Not any more.
The ratings are stupid, but what's even stupider is seeing folks like you and wakkebakke try to defend ridiculousness
this is not even a challenge. You dont seem to understand that my ratings are 100% spot on for my actual opinion on each game.
How is tx so awesome...
1. Nudge back lane. Seriously, pretty much any game with a nudge back lane alreayd has one box in the awesome catergory for player control. It is telling you to "PLAY PINBALL" use every switch in the game to its fullest and nudge the hell out of the game when needed. This is also fantastic risk v reward. Ball 3 and you are up, I need some more points but have a decent bonus already waiting... do I nudge to hard and lose my bonus or do I go for the win on a right outlane drain and keep my ball in play. Tx actually has one of the best and most challenging nudge back so it is perfectly designed to need some force and yet you have the safety of the ball resting in the shooter lane post nudge so the tilt can settle
2. Fantastis 2 stragety ruleset. Very simple to explain, Hard to master, and I can beat you exclusively using one strategy over the other if forced to do so. You show your novice understanding of the game and reliance on youtube videos if you think the spinner is your answer or an exploint. I can go energy levels all day and cream you.
3. It has three flippers and they are all used very well. Simply put the geometry on TX is perfect in so many ways. From that upper flipper you get the ability to hit the hidden tranport shot, the very important upper ramps, and get this.... you can sweep the upper set of drops to blast off an energy level.
4. Features. The game is jammed with great stuff. Wire forms, ramps, multiple drop banks, pops, 2 spinners
5. Art is great. What more can I say. The translite is so bad, it is good.
6. A magic ball transfer with a light show. What???? say that again!!! the ball actually teleports across the pf!!! amazing!! (not really but man they sell it well with sound and light and it is just plain fun to do.
7. Sounds. Do I really need to even discuss this. It is epic and in so many collectors homes for this reason alone. It is a dance party in a game!
I could go on, but I think I have made my point pretty clear.
tx rocks!!!!!!
