[QUOTE="karl, post: 239477, member: 465"] Sounds like a really awesome show. I am really jealous that we do not have shows like this on the other side of the pond. Kolchak, I will give you a couple of comments on machines that I own myself. Far from biased, in other words :o Full Throttle is a strange beast. All the shots feels a little strange at first, no great toys to brag about,(although I think toys are mostly overrated in pinball) not a great license, a completely new flipper system and switch system, etc. But this is a grower with a big G. If set up right, it just gets better and better the more you play and get into the rules and the flow. It is now one of the machines that I play the most in my collection. Just pure fun. Almost all the shots are pretty unique and when you get used to them, this baby can move like no other widebody. The outlanes can be a bit of struggle, though. If you find another one in the wild, I strongly encourage you to give it a few coins. The biggest Problem with BOP 2.0 is that it is just damn hard :) Not a lot to shot for. But when you have a good grasp of the new rules, it is pretty impressive what they managed to get out of this pretty simple layout. The multiball not only has two parts (have to be complete 6 or 7 jackpots and started again to see it all and get to the multiball wizard mode) There is also a 2x, 3x jackpot if you hit the heartbeat ramp fast (like on White water) and a challenging shot to the mode start hole where you have to hold both flippers for 5 seconds during multiball play, to get a full charge and some extra points. Not an easy task while balls are flying. The first 4 modes are ok, but when you get to the 4 big wheel modes it kicks it up a notch. Only problem is that the mode start is a really difficult shot to make. The game also has 2 wizard modes. (that I have yet to see) The problem is that it is really hard to accomplish anything substantial before the ball drains and then you are left with the impression that the game is just left ramp, right ramp all day. I really like bop 2.0, but I can certainly see that this is not a game for everybody. Was it worth the conversion? well...Yesish, I guess :D [/QUOTE]
