Pinball HD

This review is for the HD version on the iPad, however, there is an iPhone version available also. Pinball HD is a great game that you can pick up and play anytime, as it doesn’t require much time.

A good 3D game engine has been used with great sound effects. The camera tracking is very good, zooming in on key objects hit and then zooming back out in time for you to plan your next flipper hit on the ball. There are 3 different themed pinball tables to choose from: Wild West, The Deep and Jungle Style as well as a 30 second play and preview of the Slayer level which costs extra and is a rock music themed level.

The graphics and feel of the game is very realistic and you can even nudge or tilt the table by shaking the device. Game Centre high score saving has also been incorporated into the game with the option to play in multiplayer mode over WiFi or Bluetooth. My favorite level is The Deep as it has a great feel and is slightly easier than the other levels, so you can play it for longer. I have included this game in the Featured Apps section of appcomrade.com as I feel that it’s great value for money at $.99. The developers obviously put a lot of hard work into making this game as realistic as possible.
