Quite possibly the best use of 3D on the 3DS!! Awesome!!

Only downside being the eShop credit system requiring a minimum of Ł10 to add funds.

Have to agree with you. Just downloaded it tonight and am really wowed by how good this is! I love pinball games.

It's a shame there isn't a view that tracks the ball a little more. It's great though, exactly what I hoped for, with three tables I don't have on the Xbox, and much better looking than the trailer suggested. The frame rate also took a bit of getting used to after Pinball FX/

Quite good this and the friends leaderboards (press right when viewing the worldwide ones) could make things more interesting. It was telling me how many points I need to beat Dfawkes during the game. I will post my code in the morning.
My only negative so far is the loading times which are a little too long for just a quick pick up and play.

Which camera angle have you lot settled on? I tried to use a closer angle but I seem to do better when I can see my flippers at all times.

I need to lookup my code when I get home. It is very good though - I hope they release the Sorcerer table for it.

I have added you and TheBear. That will give me some scores to aim for, I am pretty much a pinball noob.

Is there a Friends Leaderboard on this? I assumed there wasn't as I couldn't find one, but now I realise I only looked when it was just out, and no-one else would've owned it yet! I know there's the Team Pro Score thing, so it definitely gets your friends scores from the server to add to yours.

View the all time leader board and press right on the dpad.

I'll have a look later (charging just now, and no it's not because the battery is shit, it just hadn't been charged since Monday!). Can't believe I didn't even try that though. What a plank I am.

/facepalm

Cheers roz

My friend code is 0259-0382-6189. I'm going to add everyone who has posted theirs in this thread, and if anyone else wants to add me send me a PM with your code.

Damn this is too complicated.

Deleted user 3 December 2011 12:39:06

Good to see a couple of scores to beat now on my friend list. I'm mjr in the game rankings. Excalibur is my favourite table so far. 19 million is my best score yet.

Not played much of this game but add me if you like. Code = 5026-4417-2705

Deleted user 3 December 2011 15:22:44

Will get my code up later. I've not got into a pinball game since True Pinball and Dragon's Fury, so this will feel quite fresh.

I am going to add each and everyone of you (in this thread) as I do like a good old score to chase after...

3093 - 7150 - 8101

Deleted user 5 December 2011 07:47:47

Anyone find that when they're getting close to beating a personal high score that they get really tense and screw it up. Also anytime I unlock a new table feature I usually lose right after. Quite frustrating.

In excalibur you can gain 5 million points for winning the novice just. I can't yet do it consistently but did it a couple of times last night.

Deleted user 5 December 2011 08:00:08

So i get that its good then, oh well best download it then.

I will add those in this thread.

I have added everyone I think, if I missed you sorry.

Starting to get the hang of it now, I am probably enjoying El Dorado and Excalibur more. El Dorado I can stay alive for long times because its easy to light up JADE (basically get it to run the ramp on the right and the ramp on the left) to keep reactivating "ball saved".

I managed to get a crazy score on Excalibur, somehow I released Merlins balls and it just went jackpot crazy

Deleted user 6 December 2011 10:39:04

@roz123 -
How much is your crazy score. Can't get online to check. I got 25 million last night on my commute home.

I think it was 19million, I checked the leaderboard after but it hadn't updated my score yet. That one merlins multiball must have got me at least 16million of that in under a minute.

Deleted user 6 December 2011 10:46:19

Nice. I always struggle with multi ball on all the tables. On excalibur it's pretty easy to score about 10 million from slaying the dragon and winning the novice joust. Last night I had another monster appear where the dragon usually is but I don't know how that happened.

I think my best was 8 million before, I dont really get what you have to do when jousting. I should really read the table guide.

Its the magical multiball I got and not merlin like I said above. Its not like a normal multiball as I must have had about 6 replacement balls and every time I hit something I seemed to get a jackpot.
