Liking Firepower is totally logical! It's got a variety of good shots, gives you a reason to hit all of them, keeps you on your toes with those dangerous targets right in the middle, and rewards you with a blisteringly fast multiball. Oh and it's got a nice spinner. I'm curious what those who don't like it don't like about it. Too intense?

Dr. Dude, on the other hand, has three annoying shots you have to hit multiple times each just to grind your way to an anemic two-ball multiball in which you then have to grind another irritating shot repeatedly just to register a single jackpot. Also the theme is really obnoxious. : P



Genie is one of those tables where you really have to understand the rules to find the focus and the excitement--read the rules and you'll find that the way to survive is to take careful advantage of every feature on the table to keep alive by earning extra balls while maxing and then cashing in the bonus; get to the point where you need to make an EB shot or max bonus shot and you'll probably get some of that adrenaline pumping!

To intense? The only thing intense is the noise of it. Otherwise it couldn´t be simpler. I tried to play it listening to music instead and then it was actually enjoyable. So the sound ruins it more then I actually expected.

Heh. I'm with you on Cirqus Voltaire (plus the announcer lady is annoying, the table is set up really floaty, the ball lock detection is buggy (I'm told the real table has this problem too), the outlanes are set really cruelly low and wide, the backglass cannon thing is pointless, pretty nearly all you do is shoot the silly Ringmaster over and over, and the name is hard to spell : p).

Agreed on the outlanes... with all the clutter on the left side of the playfield (the orange ball contraption) it's hard to see whether the ball will go out anyway. And it's really difficult to avoid hitting the Ringmaster to start up that feature :p

When playing it, I try to go for the orbits to get the sideshow or the acrobats... and of course the highwire.

My love for Creature from the Black Lagoon has grown over the past month due to focusing on it a bit for the tournament. I really love playing the table more than I did. I'm hitting the snackbar with pretty good efficiency now, completed all the wizard goals today (still had to do super scoring and actually getting the super jackpot, got an almost 8 billion score).

I'd probably change my rating from a 7 to a 9 right now.
I'll hold off on redoing my scores until Fish Tales is released on PS3.

Added Black Knight 2000 to the survey!

http://smbhax.com/tpatr/

Season 3 is rating pretty well so far, with Fish Tales currently in 11th place overall, and Black Rose at number 9, although that's on the strength of just three votes. : P The other shakeup in the top ten is Twilight Zone nudging ahead of Theatre of Magic.

Here's the full current table, with 171 sets of votes received:

I just made BK2K number 1. Of course that is because it only has one vote. I gave it a nine. Come on people, update your votes. The more people that rank them, the more interesting the results.
Thanks again smbhax.
