You don't lose either way. I've owned a LOTR and I still have my Spider-Man. I think that overall LOTR is the better game, but I feel like either one is a top 10 game and well worth the price. SM gives you some pretty smooth combos and some really fast play, while LOTR gives you some of the best multiballs, modes, and rules on a modern pin.
If you're going to own Spider-Man, just make sure that you learn how to go after and complete the white spider modes. It's a whole different experience when you shoot for them. It's not the way to maximize points, but it's more fun.
Quoted from Snurdley:Well considering starting a mode gives you a 2x playfield multiplier, then if completed you get a 3x playfield multiplier, I'd say the modes are very important in maximizing points depending on where you put your multipliers.
As to the OP's original question, IMPO they both work great in a small collection.
Yeah, they can be. I guess in a tournament setting you're probably not going to be able to put in that much work safely, so you go after the multiballs quicker. SM does have some hidden depth in its strategy, for sure.
Quoted from smassa:Wow that is one "dingy" chick.
That's slcpinball's wife. They're super nice pinball people.
