While it's a good game in itself, and implements the Metroid Prime universe very nicely, it's just that, a pinball game.
User Rating: 7.2 | Metroid Prime Pinball (w/Rumble Pak) DS
Metroid Prime Pinball is a pinball game tailored after the Gamecube hit Metroid Prime. There are two main pinball boards with a few special boards, and one multiplayer board. It plays realistically and implements Metroid Prime into pinball quite nicely, but overall it's lacking in substance. It's fun to play through the Metroid Prime story but once you do that, the only thing to keep you coming back is to beat your own high score. And while the game has realistic pinball play, there are too many times when there is nothing you can do to stop it going down the middle. All in all Metroid Prime Pinball is a buy for pinball or Metroid fans, but for everyone else, rent it or wait until the game in the bargain bin.
