I mean besides me...    I have been playing this game for a few months now and I have to say I am really enjoying it, A heck of a lot more than I thought I would. I bought it based on the popular opinion, you know, Not Williams, but pretty darn good, Especially for a Stern and knowing it probably wouldn't be to tough to sell if I wanted too.    Seriously, this game really does have Tons going for it, Lots of shots that must be hit and hit often, 6 Modes that you actually have to complete to get the Full rewards, 3 multi-Balls that get harder as you try to get to them a second time, a Big Red light up guy   in the Center to shoot at, a Very cool center shot with a Magnet. Very good representations of the movies, and I think as hard a Wizard mode as I have ever seen! I didn't enjoy the movies when they came out as I found them quite slow and Very long! After playing the game for a while, I threw the first movie in the DVD Player and sat down to shop a game. You know, The damn game made the movies far more appealing to me to the point I actually enjoyed them! And now, I know what the heck the quotes are referring to and where they are from! I think it actually helped to have something to do while they were on as they are still very long and can be a bit slow in places, but well worth seeing.

To bad Williams didn't make it!

I absolutely love this pin, having played about a million times on Bish's.  A couple tough shots, great theme, fun toys, I was a huge fan.  I could totally see me picking one up in the future when space/finances allow.  Awesome pin, IMHO.

I'm on board .. my favourite stern for sure and in my top ten of DMD games to play.

Why do you need to apologize to someone for liking something that they don't? I don't apologize for hating all the stuff he likes.  

Best game ever, I'd say TSPP and LOTR are neck and neck for best pinballs ever.

No Williams game stands up to the depth and playablity of LOTR or TSPP.

Its a really good.  A real players game with lots of shots.  Sure there may be a few things they could have improved upon but it is a solid game.  One of the best games to come out in a long time.

And I agree with cooke.  Why are you apologizing to Glen?  Its his loss if he is so narrow minded.

I like it but only get to play it on location or when I get to Clays house.

Hate it with a passion - couldn't sell it fast enough!

I agree the shots themselves are fun but the theme just killed it for me. No interest in the movies or stories so it made no sense at all when playing.

However, on the other hand, TSPP I love purely for the unique shots and gameplay. And in TSPP, you don't have to know the Simpsons to enjoy the jokes or comments or goals of the game. I've never watched a single Simpson's episode but absolutely love to play the pinball and laugh at something it says every game

I like it lots. Especially when Gandolf is yelling"TRIPPLE JACKPOT"

this is why pinball is so subjective.

TSPP does *nothing* for me.  I walk away from it it's so boring. the theme kills it for me. The simpsons ain't funny.

I love the LOTR books and movies and yeah, the pin is on my wish list and yeah, I saw Dave's listing and hey, I'm even going near there this weekend but I don't have the cash right now.

to each his own !

I belive that's GIMLI's line ....


Gandalf's best lines (among many) are
"This foe is beyond all of us" [Balrog]   and  "RUN YOU FOOLS !! "  during the Fellowship MultiBall


Ah... what a great game...  I think I'll go watch the movie again for the N-th time !

Ok, Ok. I am fully convinced and want one.




















































NOT!

What? It only took Stern several dozen attempts at making games to come up with one that is mildly amusing... Bravo Stern!

Sounds like the infinite monkey theorem.

"Given enough time, a hypothetical chimpanzee typing at random would, as part of its output, almost surely produce one of Shakespeare's plays."

That's not to say I find LOTR to be Hamlet by any means.
