Eating up hours at a time, this simple mode was addicting in the way only pinball can be. I loved challenging myself to reach lofty heights in score and then try to beat it. With the added moves that Samus had combined with the old-school one board mentality, this is where I spent the bulk of my time with this title. Naturally, the player selects one board and proceeds to rack up as high of a tally as possible. The second is because of the score attack mode. One, despite my love of it, I am terrible at pinball. Apparently, winning here unlocks an expert difficulty.Īgain, I was unable to see these final two, and that is because of two reasons. Here, the player is tasked with defeating the Metroid. Succeeding here unlocked the final table, Impact Crater. Here, twelve targets must be hit while Meta Ripley rains hell upon the player. By collecting twelve artifacts, the player can go to the artifact temple. There are two more tables as well, though I was never able to personally reach these. During play, the Phazon mines quickly became a personal favorite with the blue and yellow hues and the deceptively simple layout that hid a surprising amount of depth. The two easiest to reach, Phendrana Drifts and Phazon Mines, continues the trend of quality.

While there are two well done tables at the start, more can be unlocked via play. There are also a boatload of minigames to partake in. Samus also has her trademark wall jump ability that gives this pinball title a flavor of its own. Each board is packed with things to do and goals to achieve. There are tons of ramps, bumpers, spinners, and targets to hit. The board layouts are absolutely brilliant. There are numerous aspects that keep this title from becoming too frustrating. Fotunately, it is also possible to steer Samus’ path using the touchscreen to make things a tad easier. These could render the shot failed as it careens into an enemy and bounces into the damn bumpers again. These actually became quite challenging as not only did the player need to quickly calculate the angle of the paddle hit to hit a ramp, but they were also required to plan for the path of the foes. Inititally taking place on the player’s choice of two tables, Pirate Frigate and Talon Overworld, the player is tasked with taking down wandering enemies and completing missions using skilled shots of the ball. The plot of this game was about what one would expect. This thinking led to Silverball Studios’ underrated classic from the early DS lifespan that still holds up today, Metroid Prime Pinball. Jamming the two together to create a bumper and board game would be like peanut butter and chocolate. Metroid tends to only succeed in the west. Americans still have an affinity for pinball. It is said that her birth was the easiest for any mother ever for this reason. Samus, of Metroid fame, is known for rolling in a ball to get through tight spaces. In a weird way, this one made perfect sense. Though these games lack raw processing muscle, they have a power all their own. It is also possible to dump enemies onto opponents' tables to cause trouble for them.Though today you can stuff stereoscopic 3D and console-quality graphics into your backpack, that once seemed inconceivable. Handhelds have evolved quickly, but we shouldn’t forget the games that made them great in the first place. Players lose points if they lose their ball. The game is a race to see who can reach a certain score first. In this mode, up to eight players can play. The game also features a single-card multiplayer mode. Completing missions earns either artifacts or special tokens. There are also missions to be completed within a time limit these missions can involve defeating unique enemies that appear on the table or completing tasks such as wall jumping. Players can collect power-ups such as missiles and super bombs, which can be helpful when defeating bosses. Metroid Prime Pinball is a pinball game with a Metroid theme. Tables include the surface of Tallon IV, the Space Station, the Phazon Mines, and more can be unlocked by searching for artifacts and collecting bounties, which are found by destroying Space Pirates and other dangerous creatures. Not an American user? DescriptionIn this pinball game based on Metroid Prime, Samus gets knocked and rolled around the table in Morph Ball form the table contains Metroids, which can latch onto her and suck away health.
