I'm just gonna copy and paste what I said in the release thread. Hopefully you just haven't read that yet...although i don't know why you wouldn't read that first =)
Bah! I'm somewhere inbetween the young and old here but I still love pinball. I've played many arcade tables and many PC pinball games. I have to say I was really hoping to be impressed by this game...but it hasn't done any impressing so far. I've got a gripe with nearly everything in this game. Sound effects are scratchy sometimes. There are 7 different camera views and about 5 of them are unplayable. More specifically the camera will not follow your ball fast enough or give you a wide enough angle to know where you are flipping the ball. I find 7# the most playable. But on camera 7, and with most of the other angles too the graphics are grainy and shifting...the flippers are weak, and hitting ramps is difficult. I haven't come across any mini-game like features like you would see in most pinball these days. Even the older arcade pinball I've played had some sort of bonus game to play inbetween. There is no rumble feature, which would have helped. The tables are very generic...non are standout. They lack interesting features or challanges specific to each table.
UGHH...camera 1# and camera swings made me nearly barf from vertigo.
If you are going to try to make the most of this game do it with default camera 7#, 3d display on top and camera swings off.
I don't know what else to say...metriod pinball kicks the crap out of this...I'll keep trying to enjoy it for the sake of pinball...but I don't know how much more I can take.
