I have both and I would prefer FISH TALES. I like games that flow and
this one really does. Shadow is good but after shooting the rings 90
times in a row and scoring 2-3 billion every game it gets a little
boring. The modes are really a little difficult to get but a good
wizard mode.

Shooting the rings several times in a row is a real blast I think
I've managed 8. you really have to think about which direction you
want the diverter positioned for the next shot. Miss the ramp shot and
you may lose the ball as well. Shadow is King of Flow.

Kinda funny I just realized that Fish Tales doesn't have
any modes on it and I really like it! Strange! I guess locking three
balls and going to the fishing tournement is a kind of mode.

Shadow
also has alot of stuff to break that upperplayfeild can be a bitch and
almost every machine has a Sactum wear spot

In home use this isn't a problem and parts are available. Don't let
that put you off.
