There
have been many attempts to take the pastime of playing pinball in the arcades
and recreate this into a video game format on the Playstation. Many have
offered a selection of themed tables. All have attempted to provide the perfect
3D viewing angles. Most have failed miserably.
Empire Interactive's
effort is different. Pro Pinball The Web has only got one table, but this
solitary offering has taken all the best elements from real machines and gelled
them into a highly playable game.
The game can be viewed from any
one of six viewpoints. Because the game does not scroll you can view the entire
pinball surface while playing, which is important. The graphics are displayed
in high resolution and incorporate an unbelievable 30,000 colors.
The
game is 'mission' based including loop challenges, multiple skill shots and
features a challenging multi-ball the uses up to 6 balls.
The ball
reacts realistically when it comes into contact with the flippers, targets and
ramps to provide a PSX pinball game that is a close to the real thrill of
playing a table in an arcade.
