Love my SW premium. It's a very challenging game with short ball times...but I'm getting better and better with more play. It's fast with lots of flow. Haven't played Iron Maiden, but it looks fun and an easier game to play, meaning it is not as brutal. So, probably longer ball times on Iron Maiden. For me, it's theme that wins. I love Star Wars and the theme does come through once you start playing the game. Plus, John Williams epic music plus some pretty good original music for certain modes of the game really hype up the experience. The throne room theme when entering initials is such a nice little experience. Iron Maiden as a theme does nothing for me. I really can't stand their music and haven't been able to sit through more than 5 minutes of a stream because of it. But that is me. Unfortunate, since Iron Maiden really looks like a great layout. If it were a different theme, it would be a tough call for me, but it is what it is. So, I guess for me it is SW all the way because of my personal preference, but if theme is equal or not as important, then I'd say what kind of game do you want? One that is fast, more brutal with short ball times or one that has a little less flow but easier shots with longer, but not epic long, ball times?

I don't think the scoring/multiplier system in SW is such a huge deal. You can play the game as a mode progression game, just trying to get to Jedi multiball. Or, you can play for high scoring opportunities. And once you get really advanced, I suppose you can combine those efforts. It is the different ways to play the game that make it even more interesting to me. I usually play for mode/game progression. But every so often look up to see I have an opportunity to move a multiplier over to a jackpot shot or video mode to really make some big points. I like the variety. Of course, if you don't like that type of system at all, then I guess SW is not for you.

Plus, that does bring up the fact that Iron Maiden does not have a lockdown bar button. This factors heavily in the gameplay of SW. So if that is something that you like or don't like...that would be a big deal.
