[QUOTE="smbhax, post: 107316, member: 396"] I'm pretty much the same with White Water--haven't managed to get anywhere on it, and kind of getting frustrated by the narrow playfield, loud sound effects--like the constant yeti howling during Boulder Bash :P--and frequent hurry-ups. But in the middle of all that today I *almost* got into a flow on it--there were bits where I'd hit a couple combos and the ball was just *flying*; you can generate some surprising speed on that table if you link things up! And then on my last ball I had a multiball where I was somehow just hitting jackpot after jackpot. So yeah I think there's something to this table, gotta work on it some more. Creature's a funny one for me--I liked it a lot early on, the rich dark look and the nice sound effects (okay except for MOVE YOUR CAR >_<), but it's never *really* come together for me as a game; I don't find that the separate parts of the playfield go together all that well, and I *never* last very long in multiball, I guess maybe because of the relatively constricted central playfield area. I think maybe another thing hindering my enjoyment of this one is that it's possibly the table with the laggiest flippers in the PS3 version (ToTAN comes close). When I was trying to play Theater (whose female voice I just *hate* ; P) for score, hitting just specific shots and all, I was finding it really annoying. So I got tired of that and now just flip at whatever looks good to me, and that's been working way better, both in terms of fun *and* score. I guess I understand the table intuitively way better than I do consciously. [/QUOTE]
