Quoted from PanzerFreak:

I didn't like the layout either after playing it with early code, probably due to the troll pops up just popping up randomly (it seemed) and other features such as the drop targets not having rules coded for them yet and the kickback not interacting with the lockdown bar button. With 1.10 rules are now integrating the pop ups in unique ways as well as the drop targets. The kickback now interacts with the lockdown bar button as well as with animations on the LCD. I like that the layout on The Hobbit as it's different and unique compared to a lot of traditional layouts.
Any game, no matter how good the layout is would suck without code, lol. With the last two updates there's been much more positive feedback about the game...and it's only version 1.10.

Trolls popping up "randomly" are sure annoying, but so are trolls popping up at all. They're the main feature of the game for some reason. They basically took the worst feature of MM and doubled down on it. Sure they can block some of the main shots of the game, but geez they're annoying as hell.

We're talking The Hobbit here. Nine hours of movie content and this is what happens? Where are the epic battles? Where's the dragon interaction? Where is the epic feeling of being involved? Just trolls, drop targets and standups? I mean, really?

I guess the 3rd flipper is actually a Hobbit since it's all lonesome with nothing to do.

Full Throttle feels less "polished" from a materials standpoint, but it's got tough, fast gameplay and cool, unique layout. The one in Allentown wasn't quite set up correctly, but I still would consider one.
