[QUOTE="Espy, post: 157933, member: 3553"] Well, I had the game from heaven and got 400M I'm now sitting at #2 on the PS3 leaderboards :) Shows how low scoring it is, though. I got 2 billion on Han Solo and that's #7 currently. I was previously #2 on my friend list by only around 10M, so that was really driving me. I hadn't even broken 100M on the table before this game. I was determined to get the Wizard Mode, and said to myself "If I don't get it tonight, I'm giving up". Then I got it in a single ball! And I made the wizard mode last a LONG time. By that point the pressure was off, I had done what I achieved, everything else was gain. And I'd somehow earned three extra balls during the wizard mode (I think one for beating the modes, one for maxing the multiplier, one for random award. There are two more but probably not worth the effort). That mental state helped me keep pushing, got a really great Katana Multiball, went through the modes another one and a half times, messed up the wizard mode admittedly, but that wouldn't have affected my place on the leaderboards as #1 has almost a billion. But I moved every single person who ever played the game bar one down by one place. Satisfying feeling :) Some tips: Don't bother with increased difficulty. I don't know exactly what the benefit of that is. The score rewards seem to be the same (or very close). Maybe the jackpot increase is bigger. The only difference between the difficulties in terms of playing is the timer is shorter. And it's a tough table so you need to take your time with the missions. I got #2 just doing easy missions, so don't take risks here. My overall strategy was to work through the missions primarily, but always lock the ball when prompted for Katana multiball (always check when a mission ends). You will get combos naturally over time. Some missions even require them.

So chip away at it as you do the missions, which give you a steady stream of points, and also raise the jackpot. I had 10M super jackpots from Katana Multiball towards the end. Practice the difficult shots - the right orbit and underarm shots are tricky. The ball often jumps out of the right underarm shot - if you have the reflexes, try snapping the flipper shut once it's in there. The most drainy mission is mission #3 (or 4, if you're counting chapters), with the constant mini-orbit shots. However, there's a safe way to do it.
