[QUOTE="Richard B, post: 35594, member: 306"] Many wonder why this table rates so high in the rankings. After playing this again today (on a different machine), it's evident that if the real table played like the TPA version did, it's unlikely it would break the top 100. Like a bad translation of a foreign text, this table is a poor reflection of the IRL version. The Heart Beat, Shuttle, and every other high points shot are supposed to be difficult to make, and risky. Building the Bride a single time is almost as hard as reaching a Wizard Mode on lots of other machines, and the Billion Point Shot is not easy, since failed Heart Beat Ramp shots often go SDTM, or out of control. Completing the Bride and hitting the BPS so easily that it can be done over a dozen times a game makes what should be a hard-won victory into a ho-hum business as usual. Everyone knows how much I hate FS intentionally making things easier, but while some tables, such as TOM or RBION, still play somewhat like their real-life counterparts, this one completely changes the dynamics of the table, and makes it into something it was not intended to be. If machines could sue, this would have a good case of defamation of character. [/QUOTE]
