...It's a decent game, but I didn't find it to be anything special.

Also I don't understand at all why people rave so much about the mini-pinball.  It's just pinball mini sized and not even all that fun to play, it doesn't even feel right, the power of the flippers are way off...


I agree. I enjoy trying to get onto the mini playfield, but find it to be a bit of a let-down once I'm there. It feels like one of those small plastic "pinball" toys from the 80's. Like this:



I understand why Lawlor designed it the way he did, but I think it would be much more satisfying if it was similar to the Shadow or Swords of Fury mini playfields.

I had more fun playing Southpark recently than I did playing FGY.  

I enjoy POTC much more (there seems to be more "payoff" for making shots on that game), but I also find it to be crazy easy.

Are you talking about the mini pf or the Stern experience in general?

You have to get past the part about figuring out how the seatbelt works first to prove it.

Went back today.. only could play POTC.  first game went amazing smooth...  Imagine my surprise after getting a 91 M score, that i didn't get to enter my initials in the top 4.  I suspect other maaca'ers before me  defiled the high score list... (JD & JFG)

the weird thing. i don't know if it was stern flipper syndrome (or just over heated coils from a long game), but 2 balls into the second game: the flippers were noticeable weak.   They really need to clean & adjust that game ASAP.  or rotate it on out by bringing spiderman in...

Yes, that would be DR - high score #3    

Great playing game and did not experience weak flipper syndrome.  For some reason the FGY had weaker flippers from day 1....

I played one game on a POTC here in London for over 30 minutes and figured my score of ~310 million would certainly put me at the top. Much to my surprise, the top four high scores were all held by the same person and all over 400 million. #1 was 710 million. I can only imagine how long it took to get that score.
