The game physics are pretty good - the ball does seem to move realistically and does not appear to follow preprogrammed routes as happens in some pinball games.  Those who enjoy playing the silver ball, though may not find the degree of control over the ball and table to mimic that of an actual pinball machine as closely as they might like.

The tables are all quite dynamic, with different challenges and areas to keep things interesting.  Sometimes, though, it is a bit confusing to determine what exactly needs to be done to unlock the next table.  The game provides you with a little guidance at the start of each level, but sometimes finding the correct secret area that needs to be found can be difficult.

All in all, though, I must say that Adventure Pinball is fun to play.  The tables provide enough action and challenging to keep the player coming back for more.   Adventure Pinball is one of those games that provide a good diversion when you just need to squeeze in a little gaming break.

In The End, This Game Hath Been Rated: 85%.  Pinball purists might not get the level of simulation they require and smaller kids may find some of the tables' tasks a little difficult, but otherwise Adventure Pinball is a fun diversion for most players.

System Requirements:  266 MHz Pentium II CPU;  32 MB RAM;  4 MB Video RAM; 4x CD-ROM; 155 MB Hard Drive Space;  Mouse.
