Pinball games on the Pocket PC have to fulfill a couple of requirements before IРІР‚в„ўm happy with them. Firstly, is the pinball table varied enough to keep me interested, yet small enough that I donРІР‚в„ўt lose the ball in some extraneous mini-game? Secondly, does the game make me never want to put it down? Pinballz passes on both counts. Pinballz includes all the features youРІР‚в„ўd expect from a game in this category, and avoids making the mistake of being too complicated. Its table has just the right number of targets, bumpers and lights for the player to become truly engrossed in the action. The gameРІР‚в„ўs sound effects arenРІР‚в„ўt amazing but they are a faithful rendition of old pinball tablesРІР‚в„ў sounds and it probably wouldnРІР‚в„ўt make much difference if they were changed. Pinballz uses your Pocket PCРІР‚в„ўs hard buttons to control the flippers, and the joystick controls nudge and tilt. Using the buttons as controls was very easy. With its well designed balance between table events and small screen playability, Pinballz provides a faithful reproduction of the pinball experience on your Pocket PC.
