physics Especially the ballspeed is different from where the ball is at the moment. Jumps a bit on the flippers. You may try to adjust the ballspeed in the advanced menu as best as possible. 17 17 17 17
graphics As the coverage says: "The new style Arcade Pinball" You have to get accustomed to the graphics/the rectangular playfield. 4 4 3 3
difficulty The playfield is divided in 2 or more playareas but about 70% of the time the game plays in one of them. It´s rather fast (check the many possible configurations but the rather flimsy feeling stays). To start a multiball is very diffucult. 6 4 4 3
fun It`s much action but the fast ball gets pretty strenuous. A pause is not possible! 11 9 8 10
layout / gameplay rather poor 3 3 3 4
specials Didn`play that long. Minor animated targets. 4 3 3 3
tilt/nudging Only left and right and very fiercly. As its the arrow-keys barely to use. 0 0 0 0
comments It is not the typical style of a pinsim playfield. Too few things to hit (only targets and ramps).
