![]() Such is your focus on the top screen, however, that the mission updates and messages on the touch screen’s snazzy dot-matrix score board is often left ignored, an obvious negative in comparison to DSi pinball titles that spread the table across both screens.īeyond the simple but exceptionally smooth gameplay, the developers have gone to an effort to ensure that this title provides a decent level of content and customisation. It isn’t game breaking in any way and concentration, with some trial-and-error from multiple games, eventually reveals each table’s secrets and heightens the enjoyment. Eldorado is an obvious example, with a clutter of ramps and bumpers that would be ideal for play on a full size television, but can be difficult to decipher on the 3DS screen. The 3D effect is impressive and a joy to behold, but the biggest issue is the size of the screen being ill-suited to the complexity and detailed design of the tables. The only downside, in fact, is the platform itself. Earth Defense! is arguably the most extravagant table in the package, with plenty of flashing ramps and a mechanised robot that actually fires a weapon and disrupts the flow of the ball, a neat touch.Īll of these tables are, in their own way, well designed and enjoyable to play. Shaman contains a similar number of bumpers and targets to Eldorado, but feels more structured and instinctive to play and accumulate big combos: a result of clearer visual design. Eldorado’s theme of treasure hunting is matched by a rather complex set up, with various bumpers and small areas filling the screen. Excalibur is set in the Middle Ages and is relatively small in scale, including some nice challenges and table animations. The four tables included give a good sense of diversity, suitable for pinball wizards and newbies alike. ![]() It’s entirely possible that you’ll be hooked into playing for good stretches of time, as the physics and feel of the tables is excellent. ![]()
