This looks and feels like a less polished version of Epic Pinball

The Good
* The fact you get seven tables; some of which are quite good.

  • The music is up to the high quality set in Epic Pinball

    The Bad
    * The engine can be a bit sloppy - balls getting stuck on flippers, for example

  • Two tables (WarBot and Duel) are similar to tables in Epic Pinball - apart from sounds and graphics, they are so similar as to be the same. The themes of the tables are also dodgy - whereas Epic Pinball has Excalibur, and old-fashioned, wooden table, Silverball uses the layout for Warbot, which, being about robots, feels wrong.

    The Bottom Line
    An under publicised game - if you like Epic Pinball, you'll love this collection of seven tables - even if two are similar to those in Epic Pinball (another one has the same music!)

Worst pinball game I ever played

The Good
Nothing

The Bad
That's the only pinball game I've ever played when you'll come to find perfectly natural to see each of your balls go directly down the drain without even having a slight chance to touch it with your flippers 95% of the time.

The Bottom Line
This has nothing to do with pinball, in any way.

A great pinball.

The Good
The graphics for most of the tables are very good, the music is just plain great and the gameplay is OK.

The Bad
The second and third tables are rather annoying and you get tired of the game after a while.

The Bottom Line
A fairly playable Epic game which may as well not be worthy of the name.
