| Author: Michael Kerner "Michael .. | There happens to be so much going on with the handheld world these days. Nevertheless, the guilty pleasures from the arcades always find a unique way of creeping into some great games, especially from pinball. That has been the case with Nintendo during the past year. For Nintendo's Game Boy Advance, they really hit it big with the success of Mario Pinball Land. It just really brought to life the adventure pinball franchises again. That has also been the case recently with Nintendo's DS system. They had to find a great way to conjure that pinball action again, and it is right here from the brinks of Samus.Metroid Prime Pinball for the Nintendo DS brings out all the action of the Metroid series, and the uniqueness of pinball. The game offers all sorts of great action with unique different tables that range from traditional, to battle-style matches. The graphics in the game are truly remarkable, and absolutely bring out some of the most remakrable gameplay for a video... | 6 | |

| Author: Brian Mohler - See all .. | I bought this game a couple of months after it had been in the stores and I'm glad I waited. I had just gotten over the loss of my Pinball of the Dead game when I saw this in Sears for $17. I thought "hey! it's a pinball game for the DS! And it comes with a Rumble Pack!" and I'm glad that I bought it. This game, just like any other pinball video game needs time to get used to the gameplay. At first, you can barely keep the ball from going through the paddles, but thankfully they have a force field between the paddles ever so often so that you don't loose your ball as easily. This is a great pinball game for anyone, and my only 2 complaints was that the Rumble Pack could've been used a little bit more, and that they should've made it easier for first-time players. | 6 | |
