Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I didn't get it until I returned. We managed to find a few Stern machines close to our hotel, in a Family fun center. One of the three were working more or less. (Southpark) Tthe soccer one (can't remember the name) sort of worked but had all sorts of software glitches, and Monopoly wasn't working at all.
Maybe I'm too old school, but I didn't really like these pins much at all. The soccer game allowed a ball to be trapped behind a drop target in front of the goal, and southpark? well we spent more time watching the machine play itself than playing it. It seems to be that almost every shot is a capture shot where the ball is ejected somewhere else. And I found it really frustrating that it was hit and miss for getting a 2 player game going. It seemed it was either 1 or 3 players. Same thing for the soccer game. So far I've played I think 4 different Stern machines including LOTR and didn't really enjoy any of them all that much. The only thing I did like was the multiball, which my wifes HH doesn't have, other than that I'm less than impressed by the new style of pins.
Thanks for the info,
Cheers,
Christopher. |
