I know this was bumping a very old thread, but...

I've owned mine for a year or so now. I love it. I had woz and sold it as I felt this did the whole woz journey thing, but much better. Both have an upper flipper solely to kill the main antagonists with, but hobbit is harder to do and more satisfying. Shots are smooth and often times come back to the flipper as opposed to just sorta going away to nowhere land like woz. Way more shots in this game, which guess isn't saying much.

Now with all that said, I won't play it for weeks at a time as it is an epic lotr style gameplay. I certainly can't play it with others, as it can be boring for people to wait while I go on an epic adventure. When I DO play it I find myself playing for over an hour trying to get just a little further.

Great game I have to be in the mood to play, but when I do I think it is my favorite machine I have.
