Reviews for Zombie Pinball

[KitsuneUK]

Brings back memories

Ah, I remember games like Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies on the Amiga back in the day (Showing my age now). When I decided to play this game, all kinds of memories flooded back. Unfortunately, the old games are still better, but lets be fair about this review.

Pro -
This game has clearly been made with care, love and a great deal of effort.
Nice twist by having zombies on the board.
Graphics are well done.

Con -
The zombie killing gets old quickly as you wait for ages for your ball to come back so that you can have some say in its direction.
A distinct lack of loops and shoots which are the hallmark of any pinball machine.
Music got repetative and didn't really add to the game experience much.
The physics felt too light, so it gave the impression I was knocking a ping pong ball about, rather then a solid metal one.
Nothing but graves and zombies. This would have made a nice bonus feature or special play, especially for multiball, but it needed something else to stop me gettingbored.

Overall-
I played this for about 5 mins before turning it off. On the other hand, I have an urge to find those old Amiga games on emulator and play those instead.

lost intrest

after just a few minutes of playing this game i felt board. There was no sense of achievement, so it seemed like i was playing for nothing. wasted time! game play was good other then a really slow boring ball.

Good graphics, great levels, poor physics

This is a really cool pinball game, reminds me of the good times. The graphics are good and transmit the atmosphere well, the levels are very well designed - the only thing that spoiled my fun was that it didn't really feel like a pinball-game. The ball has no weight and gets far too fast, you lose track of it and therefore can't really decide what to do. That needs some work.

I like the game but there was little to do in terms of controlling the ball (lighting all symbols in top tier for example), there was no real skill or challenge in getting the points, the points grew too quickly too. Also I like the zombie blood but that combined with smoke or whatever it was coming off the graves and other things made it very difficult to see the ball. Other than that though it was pretty fun.
3 stars in term of rating, there are much better pinball games that would make a 4 or 5 and this doesn't reach that standard, I'm only giving 2.5 stars though for criticisms given above

Too easy to lose track of the ball

animations when it hit stuff masked where the ball was, and where it was going.
