Dream Pinball 3D screenshots (Wii and DS)
Anyone who has been stuck in a boring situation with a laptop to hand can relate to how wonderful video game pinball can be. Low tech it may seem, but that along with Solitaire has saved many a train journey from turning into a nightmare. So, Pinball games should be greeted with respect. There's one heading towards the Wii at the moment; Southpeak Games are toting Dream Pinball 3D as 'the most intense visuals and ball physics a pinball game has ever seen.' No easy claim, since Pinball video games have been around about as long as video games themselves. Wii screenshots below - gobble 'em!
"Everyone loves pinball. It is an unusual kind of entertainment in that it bridges hardcore and casual gamers, while translating very well to videogames," said Melanie Mroz, SouthPeak Games. "We are going to give the medium the respect it deserves." (cont)
We've taken a look at the DS version and love the way that the upper screen displays the backboard section of the physical pinball arcade unit. This allows the DS version a touch of old school realism that other formats are attempting by simply displaying a player's view of a pinball machine in front of them as they play. Which you find the most appealing will be up to you, but we like the DS approach.
These DS screenshots demonstrate the backboard effect:
