[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 61378, member: 152"] Monster Bash can be pretty repetitive when you think about it: [LIST] [*]Creature Feature: Hit Creature 4 times, then hit 5 flashing shots...or hit Creature 5 more times. [*]Ball and Chain: Shoot 6 ramps, then shoot 6 more ramps. [*]Frankenstein Multiball: Hit Frank 6 times, hit his ramp, then hit Frank 6 more times. [*]Full Moon Fever: Hit the orbits 4 times, then hit the orbits 4 more times. [/LIST] And you don't really have a choice in the matter because Monsters of Rock is so high-scoring compared to everything else. Compare it to something like Twilight Zone. Yes, playing TZ well requires a lot of left ramp - right ramp - piano combos. But that combo A) lights a lock toward regular multiball, B) lights Load Gumball Machine toward Powerball Mania, and C) collects a Door Panel toward Lost in the Zone. Plus those Door panel modes are all different - there's a multiball (Fast Lock), an orbit round (Spiral), a standup round (Greed), a bumper/frenzy round (Town Square Madness), and they're all [I]optional[/I]: you can play the ones you like, and ignore the ones you don't without penalty. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Monster Bash quite a bit. But it's not the machine I'd want to have with me if I were stuck on a desert island with only one table. [/QUOTE]
