[QUOTE="Epsilon, post: 200631, member: 381"] Good table; I have to admit I wasn't really thrilled about this one coming in because the lack of multiball really generally makes a game feel lifeless to me, but this is about as good as I can see a single-ball table working. I was actually pretty shocked by the fact that I managed to clock the scoreboard and get all the goals within an hour (my best game was 16.7 million but only shows as 9,999,999 in the list.) When I first unlocked the Wizard goal list I thought, "Hell, there's probably no way I'll ever get 3 of those," and then proceeded to somehow get them ALL in one game. It was crazy, because I'm by no means a top-level player. I especially cringed at the 500,000 Skill Shot, because it took me what seemed like forever with quick restarts to even get the first 100K skill shot. I just don't feel like the analog plunging works well at all in the PC version. Building it up to 5x AND hitting the 100K shot seemed impossible, but I nabbed a few extra balls and took my chances. The first one came up JUST short, and the second attempt (out of 3) just BARELY squeaked over into the 100K spot. I was ecstatic, to say the least, especially considering how lousy I am at precision plunging in this game. The other one that seemed daunting was getting the 2 Million shot. I so often choke on time-limited shots, so even getting it to the million opportunity, much less doing that AND enabling double scoring seemed highly unlikely. I actually kind of got it by accident, in that I went ahead and activated double scoring, then looked up and saw the Comet score was flashing 100K, so I made the shot and suddenly realized I had the opportunity to get the Wizard goal right now. It was a tense wait for the ball to wiggle down to the inlane, but I fired straight and true and nailed it. I'll always remember this table as the first one that made me briefly feel like a virtual pinball God, but I'm also a bit sad that I've already pretty much done and seen everything it has to offer in a single hour. But it was an exhilarating hour, I'll say that much. Well worth it. [/QUOTE]
