A fun game for when you need something easy to pick up and put down. Everyone loves pinball.
There are three bosses in this game. One being the final boss that was quite challenging. The whole game was delightfully challening and you really get a sense of accomplishment when you advance to a brand new board or beat down a boss because half of it is luck, the other half is skill. In order to beat this game, it takes a little patience because you will have to redo the boards quite a few times and extra balls are limited. But that is part of it's charm.
Sometimes it is a little frustrating because you want the morph ball Samus to go to a certain part of the board but you just can't flip her there on time, but that is the whole challenge behind pinball games in the first place, dedication and control.
This game was very rewarding as you could sit down for hours just to get the highest score in the boards but also, this is a great pick up and play game when you have a few minutes to spare. Very colorfull, music was right on cue with the whole irrie Metroid feel, and the gameplay was solid. The morph balls reacted like real pinballs do so it felt realistic.
One of my favorite parts of buying this game is the free rumble pack you get with the purchase. It rumbled as you played through the pinball game, which added to the realism and fun. This rumble pack also works for the Metroid: Hunters game on the DS which was a nice bonus to buying Metroid Poinball.
I recommend this game for pinball lovers and Metroid lovers alike.
