O.K. Here is your scenario. You just got a Spiderman, played a couple games, and like it. It didn't come with the game. Do you install one, or leave it. Please leave comments on what you think.
Would like to hear from SM owners who have put Shaker motors. Goes it change game play? Makes it more fun, or just shakes the machine.
Thanks.
By All Mean's .. You NEED a Shaker !!! For $ 175.00 You can't go Wrong .. SM is Pre wired for it..
Quoted from jackofdiamonds:I played it both ways and prefer no shaker.Scott
Thanks Jack of D.
This is the type of feedback I'm after.
Keep the comments coming guys!
love the shakers 
Gladiators has one, but it shakes so freaking hard, people down stairs thought it was a jack hammer....makes the game fun!
NV, have to stop by so we can play some Spidey. Did the Tales get traded? I would buy it, if it's for sale.
I voted shaker but....it is not needed to enjoy the game. It is just a fantastic pin without ANY mods.

I own it and played it both ways and the shaker just adds to the playing experience. I don't see how anybody can dispute that. A shaker is not for affecting the travel of the ball, it is for giving the player a little more stimulation and feedback kind of like Dualshock controllers on a Playstation 3.
Quoted from shock_me:I've played mine both ways too, and I find the shaker really adds to the game. It's mostly for the Sandman hits, but they implemented it very well. It really feels like you're smashing him and doing some serious damage!
If you set Shaker to maximal it shakes for combos too.
Awesome comments guys!
I don't think I'll be doing the sub woofer for now, as it's on location for the time being. When it goes to my new house, it will be hooked up to a sub!
It does have 2.6 software installed, and full of LED's, very tastefully done I might add.
If I could figure how to post a pic off of my iPhone, I'd post a pic.
I like the shaker in mine. But I had to tone it down by moving one of the weights 90 degrees. It tends to be more subtle this way - adding to the game rather than the shaker trying to beat out all the other input to the senses.
I think shakers add a nice touch, but not if you have them in every game. If every game has one, the effect kind of gets old. But it's cool to have someone play a few of the games, then play one with a shaker and see the reaction on their face.
I've got one in my BSM but not my POTC or BDK. I've got one in my AFM but not my MM.
Quoted from Rarehero:Pretty sure POTC doesn't have shaker support.
BDK shaker is OK - not as good as Spidey or IM. The shaker FX that sync w/ the Batmobile footage on the DMD is cool, though.
I wonder how it would work in PotC to put an led flasher bulb in place of the ship flasher to reduce voltage draw then to split the ground line from that flasher and run it as signal to trigger the shaker.
