Metriod Prime: Pinball is a Metriod themed pinball game that is great, but the tables get boring way to quickly...
User Rating: 8 | Metroid Prime Pinball (w/Rumble Pak) DS
Metriod Prime:Pinball is a great pinball game by itself. Then add look a like levels from all the metiod games, the ball, being Samus in ball form, and bosses and enemies scene in the other Metriod games. Metriod Prime : Pinball also includes a rumble pack that makes the game feel more like a real pinball game. The Game Play is very fun and will have you coming back to it frequently. The thing that doesn't make the Game Play amazing is, there are only two tables to choose from every time you start the game, which is very stupid. You can unlock more as the game goes on, but the first two levels get boarding and repetitive after a while. The object of this game is to collect artifacts that will unlock a new level. You can get artifacts by beating bosses, playing these in game mini games where Samus comes out of the ball and goes into regular standing mode and you shoot enemies or you will be jumping off walls to reach the artifact at the top. The Graphics are amazing. The visual aspect of the game is probably the best part. It looks like you are actually playing a small pinball game. The tables light up and do everything right. The table design is great, but as I said before, the first two become boarding after awhile. The pinball physics are mastered and could not be beat. The rumble pack also adds to the Graphical value to make it feel and look as real as possible. There is one bad thing about the rumble pack, if you turn the game volume off or very low, when it rumbles you will hear a jittery/shaky sound coming from the pack. The sound of the game is another high point of the game. The sound you would hear at a real pinball table you hear in the game. This adds a ton to the game and the all around experience of the game. The value of this game is really not that high due to the repetitive first two levels, but there is a mode where you just try to beat your high score, and in the regular mode once you begin to unlock new levels it begins to get better. The amount of fun you will have in this game is up to if you like metriod or pinball. I recommend this game to those who love pinball, Metriod, or metriod and pinball. If you do not like any of those things this is probably not the game for you.
Cover Artwork ~B-~ Samus looking over a pinball table, describes the game perfectly but is missing something.
