Overall I like the update. I tried medium and hard hero mode start. I kinda like the medium setting, but I am not anywhere near as hardcore as many of you. Most of the time, I just like to drink beer and flail away. I may try a few more games on the hard setting before I make my mind up. I enjoy the craziness of stacking many of the heroes together. Yeah, it ends up being a hodgepodge mismash of sounds and lights with all the modes running, but they sure are purdy lights.
During my last game with all defaults, I got to danger room, completed 4 enemies and finished up with a 254,994,820. I can honestly say that I had honest to goodness FUN playing it for the first time.
My biggest complaint is that as hero modes are starting or finishing up when you hit the scoop for villains, you may not have enough time to choose before it times out because the mode animations take precedence over the villain select screen and the timer does not pause. The timer should at least pause during this time. Maybe I could just look at the playfield inserts to make my selection instead of waiting to see the DMD selection screen.
I would also like to have combos!
