Metroid Prime Pinball will keep you intrested... but not for long.
User Rating: 6.6 | Metroid Prime Pinball (w/Rumble Pak) DS
Metroid Prime Pinball is basically a remake of the first Prime, but in a pinball form for the DS.It works like your classical pinball game, you hit the ball into some power ups with flippers, you get a new high score, you cheer and brag to your little sister. The game does fulfill the needs of metroid fans by including some shooting here and there. But the main attraction of the game is the graphics, I was stunned by the graphics that almost surpass the GCN when it comes to detail. But that's pretty much the only good feature about this game. When you start the Multi-Mission mode (with no tutorial), you will find the 5 levels going from stupid easy, to extremely hard. The bosses are almost a little too challenging. Considering you have almost no control over the ball. And there are only 5 levels, that right, 5! Even once you beat all of them, get them all in single mission mode, and get 5.2 million points in each one of them. You will find yourself BORED TO DEATH! The game soon gets repetitive with the same 5 levels over and over again. This is where this game falls, and you will soon question yourself as to why you spent $30.00 bucks on 5 levels and 1 multiplayer map. All-in all, you might like this game if you are a metroid nerd like I am, or if you jsut like pinball, but if you aren't a fan of either, just leave this one on the shelf at EB Games.
