Even though I'm a Metroid fan, this game is very bad.
User Rating: 4.3 | Metroid Prime Pinball (w/Rumble Pak) DS
The Metroid series was a great series. Jumping, shooting and finding upgrades. Now the Metroid Prime series jumps in a new twist to the series with Metroid Prime Pinball for the Nintendo DS. Unfortunately, this game is the worst in the series. The ball is way too fast and rarely slow, you cannot hit the ball with the flippers at the right time. And most of the mini-games are frustrating and boring, except for when Samus enters combat mode, where she rapidly fires and you use the Control Pad to aim. You only start with two tables, and the only way to unlock more is to beat bosses in Multi Mission mode. One of the welcomed features in this game is by playing by yourself in Multiplayer mode. This mode that way makes the game relaxing, and getting yourself out of trouble from the other modes. Overall, this game is downright garbage. I can't recommend anyone picking this game up at full price, especially when games like Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mega Man Battle Network 6 and Gunstar Super Heroes outclass Metroid Prime Pinball in many ways. Newcomers to pinball may enjoy this.
