    Iron Man is often brutal...I've been playing it a lot lately. The challenge keeps me coming back. I hate the rage it causes, but I'm really starting to like it a lot more with each successive game due to getting better at it. Things in life that are worthwhile aren't easy, so pinball that is challenging is more impactful when you do well I guess. On the contrary, Ghostbusters is just a ball-drain machine even when you aren't doing anything wrong to cause it, and that sucks. At least in Iron Man, when a ball drains, it's usually because I didn't shoot something well or didn't have quick enough reaction, it's not just cheap and punishing for no reason.
