I have a nearby arcade with 90+ pins. I find myself continually coming back to this machine. I do like the band Iron Maiden but I am not a huge fan or anything.
The ramps are very satisfying to hit and callouts and music are great. The overall theme works really well for pinball. The lighting and animations are great during the various multiballs and missions. I am a novice pinball player but have put quite a few games on all the modern sterns. The only one in the same ballpark for me so far is GZ.

Only played this once, but i instantly fell in love. Keith Elwin is the is the undisputed king of pins. His designs are always super flowy and amazing. Im not a huge fan of music pins but this one blew me away. I would love to play it some more and maybe someday own one. Great pin

One of the best pinball machines out there. The playfield is just loaded with interesting shots. Some are easy, some are difficult so all skill levels can have fun. There is always something going on. Godzilla is the most professionally designed game ever, but I think I have more fun on this, with a little simpler rules and with this awesome music. Although I dont really like the animations, they are a bit too much bestial to be fun.

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. UPDATE 3 25 23 - OK, so...I NEVER thought this pin would last so long in my small collection of pins, and something has to go to make room for new pins, but, not Iron Maiden, not YET. I've got the GUS mod on order that I've been waiting a long time for, that is sure to improve game play even MORE. The thing about this pin is every time I play it, I want just ONE more game, again and again. It's actually freakin brilliant although I cannot put my finger on exactly why. So many things about this pin just feel right. I absolutely suck at playing it by the way...I keep it at my vacation home, and when I'm there, I could play it endlessly. It's almost the perfect pin for a one pin lineup. Hard enough to keep you coming back, feels so good and right when you make the ramps and shots. Fast. Sometimes smooth. I've grown to like Eddie, modded out with Eddies that are less scary and more fun. Now if we could just get rid of the beast we might be getting somewhere. The music is good...and gets better. Hard to overcome the scary factor of this pin though. I went to great lengths to sanitize mine with Egyptian stuff and IM mods that are more tame. Still tempted to get the alternative code for it. I still remember the first time I played this pin. I was like WOW, this pin feels amazing! It was for sale but the premium ramp was broken...that is the only reason I did not buy it that day...I did in fact buy that same pin later after it was repaired.
