Found some time today to head over to marvin's and play Transformers. At first I wasn't too crazy about the Layout. I thought it looked like there wasn't enough to do. Boy was I pleasantly surprised with the gameplay.

I really like the ball lock for megatron multiball. This greatly extended my playing time, I think I played on .75 for about 12-15 mins straight. I'm sure most of you can get longer playing times then that on one ball but it was pretty good for me.

I tried Tron Next for the first time, and lost almost right away. The two games are night and day as far as gameplay. I didn't bother trying tron again as I didn't want to waste money losing. I can see where it would probably grow on you if you own one.

Hopefully someday far far down the road I can get my own, routed Transformers and shop it back to glory.

Yeah, backhand megatron lock; repeat until bored. :( not impressed.
 
The LE is going to have a drop target in front of the ball lock so it will be harder.
You can also set the rules to Hard and it will require you to hit the stand ups on either side of the ball lock before it will actually start accepting locked balls.
 
I've heard that alot where people base their opinion on how well they played, I've done it myself. If you have an amazing game it's SOOOO much more fun, no matter what the pin..

Tron is a great game though, my buddy Dave has the LE, and it's got an amazing light show, great sound, good layout, spinning disc is awesome, and best of all is it's a challenging pin...
 
Yep, you can walk up to almost any pin and have (3) 15 second ball times and like this game sucks.
Then you can have a good ball and play for 5 minutes, get deeper into the rules, and be like this game ROCKS!
 
I'm sure i'll give tron another shot. I like the way the playfield looked and the color scheme. Just sours you when you lose so quickly.

They also have Funhouse, Theater of Magic, Iron Man, Family guy, and Addam's Family and an older Em that I can't think of the title right now.

It's a really neat place. If some of you haven't went yet you should really check it out.
