Have to disagree with this (although i know pinball is a very personal preference thing), as its one game that i absolutely love - the sound is great, and while the gameplay is not overly deep, i find it much much more enjoyable than other 'shallow' games such as Getaway and Fishtales.
100% agree, it is a very personal thing. But there's no way this is an above average game, so not sure which bit you are disagreeing with. It is fun (what pinball isn't?) but very much average fun.
If you want a challenge (I've taken a wreck like this back to neat) this one seems to have it all!!
