Re: Week 2 Impressions of Rack 'N Roll

I'd also like to add that after seeing this game played out live, my opinions completely changed. When it was released, I thought it was fairly simple, almost too simple, and that the whole rack would be at least half full by the end of the match. I thought that ramps would be thought of as too difficult and not considered at all, so it wouldn't be a major factor in the game at all. Boy was I wrong!

Now, after watching a few matches again and reflecting on experiences this weekend, I can safely say that Rack N' Roll is hard! Especially once defense comes into play. We all knew that strategy would be key, but there were some strategies that I was amazed with, like putting tubes on someone else's ramps. The ramps were a big shocker too! I expected it to not make much difference with the full rack that I expected, but it ended up being the determining factor of the game. I'm ready for Vegas in Week 5 now...lets see what else changes.
