Pinball Star

The graphics are not great for the game (worse than the original) which for me is not a huge issue. What is a big bummer is that the board does not have the same rules. The ball is smaller and the physics for the ball movement is way off. Definitely did not have a nostalgic experience. Very hard to properly gauge the way the ball will bounce due to the seemingly random physics.

The game would be great if it weren't for the constantly changing ads that slow the game down and cause their to be a delay in the paddles but not always the balls movement. additionally there seems o be an issue with the launcher where if you launch it at full power it always goes to a spot that neither paddle can hit. I wouldn't waste the time it takes to download this game unless they fix these issues

Sure, it looks similar to 3D Space Cadet pinball that we've all enjoyed on ~Windows XP all those years ago, but that's all about this game. The game mechanics are not like the original game at all, and the flippers do not function properly. Sometimes one can be higher than the other, and generally the flippers do not launch in the same fashion as the ones on the original game. The in-app purchases in this game are pretty lame. Remember when sometimes the game would just cause you to lose the ball and you'd be given another shot? Nope, not in this game. They want you to PAY in order to have extra shots, even if there was no way for you to save a ball. If you want the original game, you are MUCH better off just getting the original game. This game is a ripoff and their attempts to make money off of this game is ridiculous. Microsoft should honestly just remove this application from the Windows Store, because it's a phony fake anyways.

AWESOME

First of all this is a rip off, second, what happened to the old arcade pinball that every single computer had come with. That really irks me and frankly makes me very angry. Those games(solitaire, spider solitaire, pinball etc.) never had any ads and they were simple in graphics and effects. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this. I would have rated this at 4 stars because I was disappointed that it was an app. Until I played it and the first ad pop-up and "killed" me, then a repeat of that through the rest of my time playing.
