Gamertell Review: Dream Pinball for DS

Title: Dream Pinball
Price: $19.99
System(s): DS (Wii, PC)
Release Date: April 22, 2008
Publisher (Developer): SouthPeak Games (TopWare Interactive, Zuxxez Entertainment)
ESRB Rating: “Everyone 10+“ for mild blood and mild suggestive themes
Pros: Good sound effects, fairly nice audio, odd material balls and fun themes. It’s afordable portable pinball game that includes wireless features.
Cons: 3D actually gets in the way. Dizzying camera, poor use of dual screens and lack of alternate flipper controls.
Overall Score: Two thumbs sideways; 70/100; C-; * * out of 5
This game just doesn’t capture the sense of speed and thrill of a really good machine. The speed may have been knocked down a notch so the camera could keep up with the kinda nice 3D graphics but it ultimately worked against itself by slowing most boards’ to a mediocre pace. The $20 price tag does give the game a few bonus points for affordability.
