I really, really love FT. I like the multi ball jackpots a lot... you can feel the pressure as you have a short window to hit the jackpot. This can also be very frustrating (only making me want to play more)
My sons strategy is to get monster fish over and over and half the time he beats the crap out of me.
I like the flow of the game- only a video mode that really stops play (but It is the most awesome video mode)
For me it has a perfect pace, not overly complicated yet very challenging.
