Guide Review - Dream Pinball Review

Dream Pinball isn’t a horrible game, but it’s definitely not a great one. Even with its unoriginal gameplay and lack of licensing, the title could have spiced things up by thinking up exciting themed machines. Players have no such luck. Some machines, like “Amber Moon,” don’t even make sense. The lack of distinction between the difficulty levels and play modes means there’s very little way chart your improvement, so each time you play feels the same: dull. Even the mechanics of the basic pinball game itself get wonky. Smaller flippers, which you can also control using the L and R triggers are located throughout the board. In theory they give the player greater control over the ball in play. Instead, they stick and add to the overall mediocrity of the game.
