Pinball Arcade

How much do you love pinball? If that question doesn’t immediately instill you with excitement, then move along. For the remaining pinball fans whose interest I just piqued, allow me to introduce Pinball Arcade. Pinball Arcade is a collection of classic tables from the Williams, Bally, Gotlieb, and Stern collections. This is surely great news for old-school pinball fanatics, but for the average pinball enthusiast, Pinball Arcade is nothing special. The interface is bland and a little confusing, the graphics are forgettable, and the music and sound effects are annoying. Underneath a lackluster presentation, however, Pinball Arcade is loaded with some solid tables. There are only four included with the game, but they are a lot of fun to play. Pinball Arcade is a good pinball simulator but certainly not my favorite on Xbox. It’s hard to give the game a definite recommendation if you already own the Williams Collection or Pinball FX, both of which are superior packages. So again I ask, how much do you love pinball? If you can’t get enough of it, then you’ll probably like this.
