Description

Good pinball games are always great fun, they are a great to play casually, but can also at times become quite addicting, when trying to get that new high score.There are a few different pinball games on the Android Market at the moment, one of them being Pinball Deluxe. But is this game any good? Lets have a closer look.

Functions & Design

Pinball Deluxe has three different pinball tables to choose from, all being very different in design, one with a carnival look , one set in space and another set under the sea. Each board plays differently and players will have to adjust depending on which board they are on to get the best scores they can. The game really makes you feel like your playing a game of pinball on a pinball machine, with all the flashing lights and sounds that go along with it. The developers have also already announced that they will be introducing more playable pinball tables in a future update.

The game will also track your highest scores for each pinball table and give you a rating. If you want to go that step further, Pinball Deluxe also has a worldwide leaderboard through Scoreloop. Scoreloop provides a all time leaderboard, a 24hr leaderboard and one just for you and your friends, so you can duke out with your friends for that top spot.

To really get the most out of this particular Android app, your Android device should really have multi-touch controls. It works without it, but it plays much better with the multi-touch as you can use both flippers simultaneously, otherwise it is much more difficult.

Conclusion

Those who are fans of pinball games will not be dissapointed with this addition to the Android Market. Between the three different tables, Pinball Deluxe provides a great experience for those looking to play it casually or those willing to put the time in to get the high scores. The controls work well and the audio and visuals are great. The deal only gets sweeter with the promise of more tables in the future.
