Pinball Wizard. What a cracking song that was. Pity the game is a bit rubbish then. Pinball is fundamentally a very simple game. Propel a ball up a table and hit some targets, we all know the drill. So I guess Pinball Wizard has at least fulfilled the incredibly simplistic part of the idea. Pity about the fun element though which is distinctly lacking.
Pinball Wizard only offers the one table which is ok for about 30 seconds but the crux of the problem is that the sole table is far too basic to be particularly enjoyable. There’s just nothing really to it, just a few basic bumpers to bounce off and that’s it. Throw in the fact that sometimes the ball randomly sticks in places and there’s seemingly no sign of a tilt function, it all becomes quite unenjoyable and fast. I found it especially annoying that there was seemingly no way of using both flippers at once, surely an obvious feature to include.
