I'm not Iron Maiden fan, but the music is great in this pinball and other callouts. Game is very eye catching, good art. Only it's quite difficult game to play, difficult ramp shots for regular player. But you can get still some successes with ramps. I love multiballs and there is several of them. Good thing that you can figure it out by yourself quite a lot about game rules just playing. It takes long time for regular player to play it throw so there is lot of challenge.

A solid feeling pin, but somewhat compromised by that flaccid third flipper. Looks and feels like a concert venue, combined with that 80's metal/ancient Egypt theme that could only be pulled off by Maiden. I just wish it was as fun to play as it is to look at.

I owned this game for nearly a year. It got me through covid and then I traded it out. I loved it. Its fun, its fast but slower than pro. I actually find the pro model to be faster and more fun. The ramp that lifts was cool, but i think it slowed things down. Overall the sound is amazing, though even though i'm a huge maiden fan, I was worried the song list would grow me tired of music i loved, hence why i traded it out. the music got a bit repetitive for me. There's no denying though this is one of the best playing games ever, and I feel it reflects in my score. There's a reason this machine is harder and harder to get. Dont deny yourself a chance to play / own one. I will buy it again one day.

I like this machine. But I don't love it. It seems a bit easy to master. Great game for newbies.

Cool flow, premium cabinet art is the best, have to be Iron Maiden fan or songs will get old real fast. Overall a great pin to have in a collection. Keep forever? Time will tell.

Still honeymooning, might be my favorite Elwin game. Multiball action is pretty nuts. I have zero interest in Iron Maiden music, but like the 90’s video games, heavy metal in the background is cool. Theming is cool, even though I probably don’t fully understand the tie to the band.

Edit - grown to love the music, maybe not to listen to in the car but perfect for jamming to pinball. Having a hard timing finding a fault in this pin. Super fun. Seems a little more forgiving than Jurassic Park. Surprisingly, loving the theme!

Killer layout that will make you a better player, but I found after a month I hit my ceiling and couldn't regularly progress further. I'd like to revisit it after I'm a better player, because the shots themselves are a blast and the objectives are varied, but need a little more experience to unlock more of the game.

This game hits all the right notes. I am admittedly NOT an Iron Maiden fan... I'm old enough to be one, but their album covers always freaked me out as a kid and I wasn't a metal head so I stayed away. The game exceeded all expectations for me as Elwin games have in general for me. My first game since I owned Fathom with a 3rd flipper, so it was good to get used to a game with one. Really unique, for me anyway, layout, sound and music integration with the theme seemed really on point. Lots of variety of shots and modes. One draw back for me as my first Premium game was the additional slow downs the Prem adds. The sarcophagus lock was really cool... the first half dozen or so times I hit... then it became boring just waiting for it to go through the motions... same thing with the lift ramp, really neat at first and then I just wanted the ball back in play. I would gladly take this game back in my collection but would honestly like to give the Pro a go if I did.

Absolutely love this pin!
It's my first (and so far only) purchase and I couldn't be happier with it.
It has a lot of variety to the game play, awesome music, and has a lot of challenge!

This game has it all! I love all of the different multiballs you can get and just the playfield artwork is outstanding! I also love how you lock the ball in the captive ball.

Great game and theme integration.
Don't listen to Iron Maiden but their music fits pinball and I love the Egyptian theme, which is true to the band.
Machine look beautiful and different to anything else.

Considering for my home collection.

UPDATE: Pulled the trigger. Hoping to receive late July / early August. Been putting lots of quarters into this machine at the local pinball arcade. Can't wait to hear it without all the background noise.

Not the best game

Fast and furious!! This game rocks! I’m not really into the theme, but it does the theme well. I’m familiar with a couple Iron Maiden songs and they go well with the high-action of this machine...but I’m probably not the target demo for this theme. That said, this is a super fun machine - I go back to it often. I also appreciate the artwork - it is really well done, but theme wouldn’t work for my home (and even if I thought it did, my wife would most definitely veto it).

My first experience with Spike 2. Wow! What a game! So far more immersive and lastability then most classic titles Williams/Bally that are so beautiful as art pieces with amazing games but this is another thing. It’s a beast of a game with terrific sound and call outs with an amazing art package, with so hard gameplay, hard to complete all the modes and all the multiballs, that makes a whole another pinball experience. I think how better the game player is, more satisfying it will be. The art on the playfield and cabinets is awesome. I have the Premium model, so the game seems nicer then the pro model one. If I had to choose just one game to live with me forever , it would be Iron Maiden.

Fantastic machine. Best I've ever played by a long shot. Plenty of challenging shots, amazing artwork and addictive gameplay.

Owned one of these for a few months and won't be parting with it for a long time

Just about the most fun game I ever played The Hobbit look like a little more fun to me I love the four flippers on this machine the only downside on iron maiden is it holds the ball at the top making it hard to figure out when to hit it when it releases other than that I give it a 10

Man. Love Maiden even though I’m not huge on the band. Maybe best flow of any game I’ve ever played. New code makes it even better

After Guns n Roses I'd say this is the top rock group pin. An amazing aesthetic experience and a light show with the best of em. Terrific code!

I’ve had my IM Premium in my lineup for awhile and it’s amazing how well it lasts and stands up to my other games(JP2, GnR LE, DP pro,etc.). I love the band which helps in it’s enduring appeal to me. But more than that, it’s just a home run of a layout and rule set. I actually prefer it over JP2 although JP2 is still great. The loops are awesome. The left and right ramps still feel a little tight to hit consistently on the fly, but it feels amazing when you can get in to a flow and combo them during Icarus or Mummy. I just keep coming back to this machine. It might be my favorite. I keep going back and forth between GnR and IM and they both just stand out as amazing rock pins for very different reasons.
