I've had this a couple of weeks now just to busy to post. My NIB XMEN, my 2nd NIB this year and well worth it.











This game is fast, I thought Tron was fast until I played this. I love how the bad guys have energy bars like in a video game, awesome, I love it! I bought this game from Brock over at pinball Customs. He's really nice guy. He gave me a good price and the first one I received was a lemon with tons of problems. I told Brock and he contacted Starburst for me and got me another NIB XMEN and took care of everything for me (the second one was good). Really good customer service from him. I recommend buying from Brock if you haven't already!

Anyway I love this game but on 5 ball I can't even break 40,000,000. I do suck, but man I can get 100,000,000 in Tron at least, XMEN is a pretty hard game. Does anyone on here have a good high score?

Congrats!

Fun game with lots of speed and flow.
I prefer the PRO on this one for sure.

This and TRON will make you a better player in no time.

I wish. If only there was someone that gave pinball tutoring lessons, I am just not getting better it seems.
Yah, Brock warned me the Pro was better. Good advice it seems.

Enjoy the game-there's supposedly another code update coming soon. If you want to do better, start stacking heroes/villans. I usually go for something like Sentinels + wolverine, storm + hellfire/brotherhood, and then maybe one of each with magneto MB (although ideally you have all heroes before then).

The ball drains down the sides are insane! I will have to adjust the posts so they're closer together. Or is it just my bad playing why they drain down the sides so often?

Nice addition!
Make sure to check you have the latest code running on it.
God knows what it's running right out of the box?

The last update was a huge improvement. And your scores will reflect this too ;)

The build date on the back of the machine is April 2013. The code version is 1.05. Is 1.06 out yet?

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

After 10,000 hours you should start to see some serious improvement :D

Also, check out pinball 101.
It's on the itunes store.

I've not watched any real tutorials, but I'm amazed how much better my game has gotten. Anticipating the ball better, nuanced flips to pass the ball back and forth. I'm not great, but from playing a few thousand games at home, it's bound to make a difference.

Well thank you! That gives me hope!
