Pinball sounds, they are famous for being simple in nature. As long as it has a noise for each item you can hit then fine, you win. This has lots of appropriate noises for each ramp or button, on both tables, so thats double points there. The music is good, I like the modified Worms title tune on the worms table, but the other tables music I don’t like so much, but it is appropriate and well done, so no points lost there either. Plus on both tables you know when you have done something good, you either get some guy telling what special you just activated, or a little music tune, or even a Worm. The only problem you could have is the "Intelligent" Music which changes to suit the special item activated. Only problem is it’s supposed to change at a point when the ball is in a no-crisis situation, unfortunatly it doesn’t always work quite right, and although it never leads to you losing your ball, it might lead to you placing the ball where you didn’t want it, due to the short pause. . "Addiction" Pinball = True: Gameplay, the all important aspect of any game ever made, if it hasn’t got it in one way or another than forget it. Fortunatly this has it, the tables are good and thankfully, not similar. The worms table is tightly packed with lots of targets to aim for, and the scoring isn’t to generous either. The world rally fever table is also good, but personally I didn’t find it quite so enjoyable. It’s more spaced out with all the targets way at the back of the table but despite this it is very easy to get a hi-score, on my first play i managed to get 250 million points, which on the worms table would take a sevear overdose of luck (or talent, define it how you will). All in all the tables are very sound, with lots of ramps and specials to try and get, and it makes you want to "just try and beat that last score". Another good aspect is that the ball doesn’t fall out too easily, meaning that you feel that it isn’t totally unfair although, in the end gravity will win. There are also the usual multiplayer options you find in pinball games, press F1 for one player, F4 for four and then preceed as normal. My only gripes with this game are the intelligent music, as mentioned earlier, although this can be changed in the option menu. Also I don’t like the Hi-score idea of sticking the initials of the people who made it in with made up scores, you don’t want to compete against them, you want to compete with your friends. The only other gripe is that maybe there could have been more tables, when I recieved the game I had friends asking how many tables and when I replied 2 most of them said "only 2???". Although this really is minor as the game is good, despite only having 2 tables (although that is double what either pro pinball has). |
