Metroid Prime Pinball / Nintendo DS : 5 of 5
12.30.2005 7:13 PM \| Link	I'm becoming a true Nintendo DS fan, and now there are lots of games that I love to play, and tons that I can't wait to get! This Christmas I got three fantastic DS games, so it's time to start reviewing. You probably already know that I love pinball games - I have just about every kind of pinball game that was made for GameBoy Advance. So, I was super-happy to see the first Nintendo DS pinball game, and it's totally fantastic - I really don't see how it could be any better! I don't know a thing about the Metroid game series, so whatever backstory there is to the game is lost on me, but it doesn't matter a bit. All that matters is this is a kick-ass pinball game, probably a tie with Pokemon Pinball Ruby & Sapphire, my all-time favorite. There are two main tables available, and at least two other mini-tables that you can transport to during the game. The action is really nice, and definitely has a great, realistic feel. There are plenty of ramps and all kinds of bonus modes, but also several kinds of moving monsters that you can battle (kind of like Pinball of the Dead, but much more intelligent). There's even Battle Mode where your ball becomes a laser-firing turret that you can rotate with your flippers to shoot enemies! The graphics (which use both DS screens to make a tall vertical table) are beautiful and the sound is great, complete with a computer voice that announces bonuses and things. I can easily play this game for hours without getting bored! Labels: games
