[QUOTE="jonesjb, post: 225954, member: 2290"] Vikingerik, have you played Shadow? What are your thoughts? Deserving of top 10? Good point about stacking of the modes. If a mode does not have a large enough pay out, you definitely can just breeze through them and ignore (as per TAF). Road show is a fun game, but one where the modes really are ignored when I play (I still want to go through the modes, but the payoff is too low). I time out Road Show more than any other game I think. FYI, with Shadow, the modes can't be stacked with other modes, but can be played along with multiball. I think this is the issue on games like TAF... If there is stacking (and there isn't some creative ways to stack, affecting gameplay) this tends to get people to just drive through, and the modes become a means to an end (irrespective of the scoring). Regarding the Shadow modes, running from memory, here are some estimates of how much is possible (the scoring is based on how well you do, I've included the approximate maximums): Punish The Guilty: $60MM, probably the lowest scoring mode. Farley Claymore: $99MM+ Duel Of Wills: $80MM, with extra Ball Opportunity The Beryllium Sphere: $120MM Escape Underwater Doom: If you are fast and combo this, you can get $130MM-$150MM. This is a countdown score, but once you get it, it keeps going and can be re-obtained until it ends (or you hit 5 targets I think). It's not a simple 30MM countdown (The game DOES offer a simple $30MM countdown, by completing the Mongul targets and hitting the orbit). Discover Hotel Monolith:$130MM (approx) per round, but this can go on and on until you lose a ball. You enter the hotel for 40MM, then have to hit the 5 or 6 arrows which is about $10MM+ each, then once you complete, I think there is a $30MM reward and the arrows relight. [/QUOTE]
