Evangelion 7 - super nifty in many ways...
I'll keep adding to this thread... throw in a video in sooner or later, though there are tons on YooToob. And do a full review after I play for another week.
But so far I'm really loving this machine. There's quite a bit more going on than in the Eva 6 machine. So far I haven't been able to figure out exactly what's happening as it seems to switch modes around and level up in a huge variety of ways. Still too much to digest. Need to find a good guide website.
The chance button is pretty much in constant use... and hitting it never really guarantees even a reach. And sometimes you need to time when you hit it, or you can blow your chance at going into "super reach". Haven't had to use the joystick on the machine yet, but I'm only an hour in.
Animatronics are excellent with Unit 1 in the upper right - occasionally reaches to push a lance together mid screen. On the left there is a creepy Unit 02 face that shoots in now and then, and some locking pistons that thump the machine when they activate.
Tons of content from the 2nd movie... and tons that isn't in any movie, or are variations of what happens.
One of the coolest features is the hookups to your phone for saving stats. Its done thru iOS or Android - though I think a mobile web version might be available. Note that you need to get a Japan app store account to download the free app... and there's some trial and error once you do to sign up. Anyway, you are led to the signup by scanning a QR barcode at a screen that can be pulled up by hitting the chance button when the machine is idle.
So if you're signed up, you start a "trial" - which means your stats will start recording. A character will show up in the lower left corner with a Synchro rate and track your progress. When you're done, go back to the idle screen and get a qr code. This will be scanned into the mobile app where your stats are saved. Next time around, just ask the app for a passcode, enter it into the main screen, and it resumes where you left off.
In the app, you can see how many starts, jackpots, chance modes, RUB's (no idea what that is... Though that's what the online ranking is based on...), etc. Basically a per-session data counter for free.
SO - I'll keep messing with it. So far I'm Synched with Misato at 1% and have completed 2% of the <haven't translated it yet>.
Oh... and if you don't feel like picking it up, go get the iPad/iPhone universal app. I think there's an Android version available too. Pretty good - and its available in the US AppStore! Unfortunately, its $16.99 - though its much cheaper than the physical machine. Its a 1.8 gig download (!!!), but takes 2 gigs unpacked. Like I said, this machine has a ton of content.
