I don't like Iron Madien the band. But Iron Madien the game? Wow. A fun and super fast playing game with some real challenges. Learning this machine just makes it better and deeper. Play it, you will love it.

All my reviews are going to follow a simple formula for those reading.
Number of shots to make - Pro's - Con's - Must Have Mods - What To Look For When Buying
Number of shots - 11 - very high
Pro's:
* Ball paths and shots are fairly unique
* Multi target on the backboard a great idea
* Rule integration and code is top notch, very deep
* Loop shot is dangerous but damn fun to hit over and over
* Love the variety in skill shots
Cons:
* Short dead end shot from upper flipper somewhat unsatisfying
* If you love a central bash toy this isn’t for you
* Can be very brutal and shots from the 2 upper flippers can lead to quick drains
Must Have Mods: (Note I will not include things like LED's, Color DMD, Invisiglass or Speaker Upgrades unless it's really badly needed)
* Lior Orb figure a huge improvement
* Wiz Mod door magnet matches premium artwork brilliantly
* Stern art blades look great
* Eddie shooter rod fits well
* Tilt topper Egypt style for the premium
* Egyptian flipper toppers a nice addition
What To Look For When Buying
* Sarcophagus lock works as it should
* Ramp flap works well and doesn’t “stick”
* Autoplunger consistently shoots the ball around the loop

SO much fun. Love the music, my buddy has the Premium and we have been moding the hell out of it. Love playing the game Keith Elwin is the man! that's all I have to say. If you haven't played 1 of his games (Iron Maiden, Jurassic Park, Avengers: Infinity Quest, Godzilla and James Bond 007 (60th Anniversary LE)) you need 2! I've played them all with exception to the new James Bond as of the writing of this has not been released yet. His designs are awesome and flow well.

I traded my Iron Maiden pro for a premium. WOW. As with most pins, the premium makes a HUGE difference in my opinion. The shots feel even better on the premium, and the pro is a pretty good shooter in itself but the premium is fantastic. I am NOT an Iron Maiden fan, but I am an Elwin fan so I had to get IM in my home and spend some quality time with it. Once I played the pro I knew I had to have a premium. The theme is a real turn off for me. I'm modding out my premium with all Egyptian stuff and making the appearance more palatable for me. The music is growing on me. There is a reason this pin is in the top 10. My rating reflects the terrible theme. If this game could be re-themed, it would definitely be around 8.7 in my opinion.

I’m more of a 80’s and 90’s game guy but this machine rocks. Literally! Great music and sound, super interesting shots too make I look forward to playing this game every time I go to my local place that has it.

Played this game a lot more, and cannot get into it. The ramps seem like too much, which is not the case with Keith Elwin's Avengers. I dig Iron Maiden's artwork, but for me that was the strength of the game. I do feel this is a quality pin, but like I said about the other version I played, more like a top 50, not a top 10. The artwork is good not great, the shots are above average, and not supreme. I will also play this game again, longer, and if things change I will re-evaluate it. But both versions of this game have been subpar, and this is the one I have played more recent, and made me actually like the game less.

An amazing and rewarding pin. The layout is an absolute blast along with the rules. There's nothing complicated about the rule set which makes it a nice pallet cleanser.
I am not a big Iron Maiden fan but how they paired the music with the modes and multiballs is done very very well. Call-outs are also really good.
The Egyptian theme is way cool and artwork is well executed. This pin doesn't disappoint.

Iron Maiden is a great game and a excellent one if you enjoy their music. The shots are good, the flow is great... It's just an all around solid pinball machine and I love the fact that is it really based off Iron Maiden's mascot "Eddie" and not so much the band. I think this really works for this pin!

I am not a fan of the band Iron Maiden so had low expectations for this game. The masterpiece in playfield design by Keith Elwin in his first game is insanely impressive. This is by far my favorite game STERN has ever produced. Satisfying shots all across the playfield. Having four flippers always gives you something to shoot for. The shots on this game are so smooth and fast that you never get tired of shooting this pin. The design is original and very fun to play. The theme ends up not mattering that much when gameplay is THIS good.

Have owned this one now for over year, it's as close to perfection as I've seen in a pinball, and easily one of the best Sterns I have played. The layout is fantastic - nice flowing shots with repeatable loops and combos. Ramps are really satisfying to hit especially the one through the pops! Code is brilliant - it's walks this terrific line where both beginners and advanced players can enjoy it and get through a decent game. Sound and animations are excellent - you may not be a fan of the band, but their music fits superbly with pinball. Theming is similarly awesome, I really like how they made this an Egyption theme, and I have the premium version so the artwork ties in very nicely. Speaking of artwork, its phenomenal - Zombie Yeti definitely knocked it out of the park again.
No real negatives to speak of, certainly from a gameplay perspective - maybe the sound quality wasn't that great from factory, I had to install Pinwoofer and new speakers to get the most out of it. A couple of the mechs can be finicky requiring some adjustment, and perhaps there's not really a significant central "toy" but that's really it. Very minor things.
Have had the chance to play all of Elwins pins now and this one is still my favourite. Awesome, awesome game.

Love this game so much (premium). Played at Logan Arcade in Chicago. Typically when I can't get on Godzilla at Logan, I gravitate towards this game, which always has less of a line, and I do not know why! It's almost as good. Great shots, awesome "one more game" feeling, and even though I don't love Iron Maiden as a band, their music is perfect for pinball. Love this game.

The game is just fun! I am not a huge Iron Maiden fan and I typically stay away from band themed games but this one is just well designed. I have been looking for one for a while. It's up there with Godzilla in my opinion. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the game was.

I have to admit I didn’t connect with this one right away. I heard this was a masterpiece and kept giving it another chance. Shots are tough and takes getting used to. One trip to Cyborg Multiball and I was hooked. One of the best cabinets made. I know a lot of people knock the music, but it works for pinball. There’s not much better than playing to Can I Play with Madness! I love the four flipper layout and the loops are very fulfilling. Only downside I can think of is it’s missing that interactive mech ti set it apart. I think that’s part of the appeal as it doesn’t need and large mech to make the game fun and appealing. The gameplay really works with this one. I love the shot thru the pops on this one. The plunge needs a little tweaking to get it lines up for the loop, but once dialed in, it’s butter!
