Quoted from dvandentop:played 7 games on this last night and i cant understand how this one ranks so high, just wasnt a big fan of it at all.

Personally I think that you *should* be flamed for making an assessment of a game like this based on a whopping 7 plays.
Yes, LOTR has one of the most difficult to reach Wizard Modes in the history of pinball: Valinor. I can understand some criticism of that. I know that I will never see it. So I forget that it is even there.
And that's easy to do, since there are a TON of other achievements to go after. Having owned my LOTR for 4-5 months, 2 nights ago I beat FOTR Multi-ball for the first time! "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"!
There are two more MB modes to beat as well. I've beat TTT a few times, but never RotK.
Destroying the Ring is always a great goal. Achievable but not easy. Love how the machine goes apeshit, similar to the Vacation Jackpot on WH20.
Bottom line: LOTR is a great pin, and there is a reason that it is ranked so high both here at Pinside and at IPDB.
Quoted from tk375:Great one!
WTF?
So just because my avatar is from LOTR that precludes me from having a valid opinion of the pin?
Yeah, "good one" indeed.
Quoted from The_Gorilla:Let's face it, most of the Top 100, and at least SOME of the next 100 would be great games to own or at least play.
When I originally started looking at this site, I NEVER would have picked a game that wasn't Top 50. That would have precluded me from ever owning W?D (which I really liked) or Congo (which I bought only to auction off next year and now LOVE)
There are a few Top 20 games that I would not have in a collection over some lower 100 games. As someone just said, it's only a guide. A much more precise guide than IPDB ratings IMO, but a guide none the less.
Well said!
Quoted from Wise_Guy:Just destroyed the ring on my LOTR!! [
] Wow this game is great super fun and has great depth. I was'nt crazy at 1st about it yet it grew on me and its one of my favorite pins now!! my highest score is 99mil. and the game I destroyed the ring on was only 76mil. I am a novice played yet love chasing the silver ball.
Congrats!
