Very fast game.
Brutal drains.
Tough to play.
A little repetitve in game play, but I like more of a quest based game.
It was fun for my first 20 games, but I moved on.

Fast, brutal, bright and intense, with a simple rule set that's hard to master.

Vault Edition looks stunning with all LED's.

One of Stern's best efforts, a classic for sure. Owned mine for nearly two years now.

This is such a tough game. You can play several games and not see much happen at all. On the other hand when it opens up you see the magic of Iron Man.

The rules are simple but difficult to pull off a lot like BSD. You will have lots of frustrating games but one awesome run mixed in here and there.

Killer game. Put in several games and then come back and let us know how awesome it is.

Tough pin with short ball times, but can be very rewarding. Game benefits from alternate sound code and better LED lighting with colors instead of bright white.

I decided to add this game to my collection after playing about 2 dozen games on location. Like many have mentioned, this game can be very brutal. From the second the start button is pushed until the moment the final ball is drained, this game offers a very intense and heart pounding experience. It's one of the fastest games I've played and the ball times can be ridiculously short. The "just one more game" factor is higher on Iron Man than any other machine I've played.

The rules are easy to understand and relatively simple. While not extremely deep, the rules fit the fast nature of the game very well and there are enough strategies and ways to play this game to keep things interesting. The artwork on the cab and translite are great and hard to find any fault with, especially if you're a comic or Iron Man fan. The playfield artwork is decent, but it's the weakest part of the art package since it has that "photoshop" feel. The playfield layout is great and there are tons of satisfying and challenging shots to hit. The music is some of the best in pinball and it couldn't fit the action better. A handful of actors from the various movies do the call out's and all of them are pretty good. However, the ones done by Robert Downey Jr, are fantastic and it seems like I hear a new one almost every time I play.

All in all, this is one of the most intense and satisfying pinball machines out there. Due to the fast speeds, short ball times, and overall brutal nature of the game, it's not going to be for everybody. However, I've found that this machine is hard to beat for sheer intensity, challenge, and fun factor. I find myself playing 10 games in a row every time I turn on this machine, which usually doesn't take as much time as 2-3 games on most other machines. Iron Man a perfect compliment to my collection and it holds it's own against some of the more complex and longer playing pins.

Jus a awesome pin....you jus can't beat the gameplay on this one....fast and brutal but yet super satisfying...

Fast and furious game - fun for kids with bash toy iron monger and fun for the advanced player with ramps and combos and rule set. Looking on the bright side, the machine is naturally difficult that it teaches you to nudge for saves and makes you enhance your ball control - key skills for a budding pinball enthusiast.

Great fast paced with many challenging shots due to the accuracy required. When you get it right it's over the top fun. Great clean playing pin.
