Like, consider Pinball 3D on Windows... everything is very spelled out. I'm not saying this game should be like that, but at least I understand I know what I'm doing and what gives me the most points beyond turning on arcade mode and simply trying to survive.

In the short amount of time I was able to play it before nodding off last night, I had the same problem. Every "mission" I unlocked I had no idea how to go about achieving the objective, even after reading the level instruction manual. I'm sure I'll figure it with time, though.

Yeah, well I figure that suddenly this morning I'm having much more fun in the game since I'm surviving. I just don't know which camera I really want to go with, though. All of them are pretty good but 2 and 4 (2 is cool but you can't really see the back of the table well). I think I really like camera 5, but sometimes playing with 1 is great too, just getting a nice classic view.

I contacted SCEA and I'm going to see what it is I can do about this Rag Doll Kung Fu being for free with me having already bought it. It's doubtful they can or will do anything (and I'm sure I'm not the first to have asked them), but it's always nice to try.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I love the pinball game, definitely worth the $10. One downside though, I suck so bad.

Haha, don't feel bad man. I've never broken 1 million on V12, and am lucky to get more than 2-3 million on any other table.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Yeah man, I seen the leader boards. 1st place for V12(The best table imo) is 58mil.

I can't even get 1 lol. I'm scared to play someone online, they'll rape me.

I beleive El Dorado's easier than the other 3 - I scored 20 million on it last night on my second try. Haven't done anything like that since, though!

V12 might actually be the hardest - the shots are tough to make, plus the ball just seems attracted to the left outlane - you have to use the upper left flipper to cover that.

Any trophy list yet?

I noticed that playing earlier, the ball would find that left outlane nearly every time. I'll have to come back to V12 once I get better with the game, it's a little too frustrating for me at this point.

Yeah, definitely come back to it later and give El Dorado a go.

I'm finding two main ways to score high on it (now I'm scoring in the 10 millions nearly every game):

Multiball: Hit the Lock And Ball targets with the upper left flipper, then shoot the idol's mouth and you'll start a two ball multiball. If you can shoot the tombs you'll get jackpots, and if you can shoot the mouth again you'll get three balls and the tombs become super jackpots. Those can add up very quickly if you can keep all 3 balls going (easier said than done)

Adventure: Each of the adventures you get by raising the idol three levels are worth 5-10 million for winning.

El Dorado's also got a lot of kickback and ball savers that can keep you going for quite a while.

I love it. Yeah, it uses the six-axis controls. Online play is pretty fun, too, and all the trophies are online-based (but it's not that big a deal since it's pretty easy to find a game). Hit me up if you decide to get it and want to play sometime.

Tell me about it. The first time I got two balls I was so excited, then one instantly fell between my flippers and the guy said, "You fail."

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

bcruise nice going with the El Dorado score! What are you up to now? 20 Million and change?

This game is too damn addicting. With the view set at 1w, then arcade effects off, and the sounds and physics effects up two spots from default...I am in Pinball Heaven. It brings back a lot of memories from early childhood.

I hope that they release a lot of extra tables soon!

For those still on the fence...

Zen Pinball is the latest digital take on the classic past-time, giving players a choice of four tables to compete in a range of different modes

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Yeah, I bit the bullet and bought this game. It's very addicting.

Only my favorite view so far is View 5.
