3D Pinball: Space Cadet

THE BAD:
-Dull
-Repetitive

SUMMARY:
The pros outweigh the cons, but the cons the important things, and you don't want to continue playing a dull and repetitive game, even if it's easy and nice looking. The layout is nicely done, everything seems to fit into place and it's easy to control around, because you know what you're firing at and what will happen once you've hit it a few times. The sounds were difficult to put into just one category, sometimes they just annoy you and you're frustrated by it, but basically at a good volume, they sound quite good and suits the game. A space game. That's what it is, and you can easily tell because sometimes things come up at the right hand side, reminding you how many refuels you have left and so on. It's very well done. If you've won a re-deploy or if you've sunk your ball too early, then another one will come and you won't have to go onto the next ball, number two or three. Because there are three balls overall..

It's pinball though, you either like it or you don't. Coming into the game you've got to think to yourself, do I like pinball? Do I really need to play this often or is a terrible game? Well it's free, so really you should give it a wirl. If you're not sure if you'll like it, then you've not played pinball. Once you have you'll be able to say "Yes, I'll like it." or "No. I hate it." Before you even play, because it's a typical pinball game. You can change the controls manually by the way.

How dull is it though? For me, very dull. All you do is press a few buttons once in a while, once you watch the ball hit off parts of the pinball table, or watch it sink down. It's repetitive in a sense as well, but pinball on a whole, is. I'm not saying I don't like pinball, but it's totally different from actually playing it in real life. It should come free with most computers, and is one of the best free games (gives you an idea of what the others are like..) so I say, give it a try.
