When
producing a game that is older than space invaders, it must be quite difficult
of thinking of ways to keep the gamesplayer interested over the long term. You
could not have a more simplistic form of game, I mean all you are doing is
stopping a metal ball from rolling through any of the three gaps at the bottom
of each table, is hardly DOOM now is it.
There are four tables to play: EXTREME
SPORTS. BABEWATCH. VIKINGS. LAW N JUSTICE
Each of these tables has
at least TWELVE features scattered around it and all have a EXTRA BALL and
MULTIBALL facility.
Up to eight players can take turns playing this
game, great for a party, especially with older people and girlies, neither of
which usually like video games, but will take to this like a duck to water.
A
very sad omission is the lack of a save game feature.
The only other
feature I would like to see incorporated would be the inclusion of a few sub
games and links between each of the tables, as seen in the Megadrive game PSYCO
PINBALL. Psyco transports you to mini platform, puzzle and shoot em up sections
when certain features on the table are correctly activated, it provides a great
new angle to a classic game. Lets just hope that they incorporate it into True
Pinball 2.
