I am thinking about buying a new Stern machine. I enjoy my LOTR and TSPP so much that I need another to satisfy my craving. I am considering SM, POTC, or perhaps the new AVATAR. Perhaps there are others I am missing in my considerations? At this point I am leaning toward Spiderman.
So what would you pick and why? I enjoy a deep rule set, lots of modes and multiball... Thanks for you opinions. |

Trick question right? The obvious answer is SM, by a mile!! (Just came to the computer after playing an epic 400M+ game, what a rush!) |

I have not been out playing any new machines since I have been stuck on my LOTR. So Spiderman is that obvious of a choice? I was reading some of the reviews and it seemed many of the modes were very much the same. However I dont think they were reviewing with complete software. So I take it there are plenty of modes and challenge to it? Lots of multiball as well? |

All the modes are different. The initial software had some of them the same. The game is 100% finished, and awesome. There's 6 different multiball modes (Black Suit, Fusion Malfunction, Bank Bust, Armed at the Dock, Battle Royale (mini-wizard mode), and Superhero (Wizard mode)), on top of that you can stack Black Suit with the 3 Doc Ock multiball modes for big points. In addition to trying to play and complete the modes, you're also battling the villains. You need to defeat each of the 4 villains 3 times, and do all the modes before getting to Superhero. It's challenging but not impossible like Valinor. IMHO, Spider-Man edges out Medieval Madness and TZ as the best DMD style pinball ever (easily the best Stern ever). It's got a great layout, great sound, and amazing rules that draw you in with simplicity but have surprising depth when you look closer. (Don't ask me to explain the 2x and 3x arrow system again) |

SM also. Of all the Stern's I have had in my collection, it is the only one that I enjoy playing regularly. You will be stuck on SM if you end up getting it. |

As others have said, Spiderman by a mile. BTW, POTC is no longer being produced so unless you have a lead on a NIB one, you won't find it "new".

Good point, none of us have played Avatar. Like you mention, I would be AMAZED if it was better than Spiderman. Duane |
