I think the game is made easier by letting you pick up where you left off in the adventures if you lose the ball. also there is no time limit as in Timeshock adventures. add to this the free play option and you can eventually get to the end slowly but surely. I find it very easy to pass the ball from one flipper to the other, which is very important in this game. diffcult to make the long range shots to the boiler though, almost frustrating at times. very cool animations on DMD. makes it all worthwhile for a few seconds Any comments?
