A welcome addition to a Metroid fan's library.
User Rating: 8.7 | Metroid Prime Pinball (w/Rumble Pak) DS
When I first heard that Samus Aran was going to be put into a pinball game I was not a very happy camper. I am an old school Metroid fan and I just wanted a nice 2D adventure in the vain of the new Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Being a dedicated fan I went ahead and got a copy of the game anyway. Metroid Prime Pinball is a fantastic well... pinball game. Don't expect to much else from it and you will be happy. It has great music taken from the Metroid Prime universe and it sounds just as good as it did on the Game Cube. As far as the gameplay is concerned.. well the two screens make it so much easier on the eyes. I don't ever want to play a pinball game on a non dual screen system because this game has truely spoiled me. It has a bunch of nice graphical touches that you wouldn't find in a real pinball game such as samus going into shooting mode and giving you the ability to aim at the oncoming enemies from the top screen. To sum it all up, if you want another Metroid type game then don't get this. However, if you love the Metroid universe and enjoy a very good pinball game every once in a while then I would suggest that you give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.
