Metroid Pinball

[Pandarbock]

Here you go gaddy something for you ;) it isn't much, but you can kind of see how the game will work. Also if you haven't tried out pokemon pinball for the gba, I would have to say it is one of the best pinball's I have played since the epic ones back in the early PC game days (despite the fact it scrolls up and down on the small screen).

Game stores have this one now in demo form! A demo of Metroid Pinball was in a DS at EB Games yesterday (and it was one of the rare stores that actually keeps its DS's clean and with fresh screen protectors.) MAN!!!!

This game is must-own, period. Oct 25 can't get here soon enough Though I didn't get to play anything with Samus shooting, the main concerns I had were met: the graphics are gorgeous and online screens/vids don't do it justice; the metroid atmosphere is captured perfectly, the pinball physics are great, and the verticle-rectangular table spread across two screens is not problematic when the ball crosses from one screen to the other.

My wife actually noticed the game while I was doing something else--I don't usually even look at DS demo stations because there's never anything interesting in them. Problem is, she has proclaimed she's keen to play this one--she was a pinball wizard back in the day--and so since I've gotten several other games this month she's put first dibs on Metroid Pinball. This one is going to be like Meteos I think, were we kept stealing the game out of each other's DS's.

It was always really irritating to pick up my DS to play Meteos, and lo-and-behold Kirby boots up when I would turn it on. If you like Pinball at all, and Metroid, and the DS. . .this game. . . maybe I'm autistic, but I can play a good video-pinball game for years. Anyone remember Sierra's pinball series. . .especially the second one "Creep Night" for PC? I'll have actually spend some serious time with Metroid Pinball, but I have hopes and expectations that it might be nearly as good as the Sierra pinball games.
