Metroid Pinball

[Compass]

Are there missions and stuff to do in this game? I find hi-score pinball playing to get rather dull rather quickly (prolly 'cause I suck so bad). I almost got this today but the $35 price annoyed me enough to go with Trauma Center ($30).

You and me both.

I just didn't realize there was a bomb button. Even after being told that I still had to look it up in the manual because I couldn't seem to figure it out beyond the super bomb. I felt dumb.

There are missions but they're all really short and integrated into the goal of getting points. It's essentially trying to string together a series of pinball minigames in order to earn enough items to find and defeat the final boss. If you're not into beating high scores and so on this game probably won't hold you captive for too long but it's a very inventive and unique take on the genre. Try to find a kiosk somewhere with this set up and try it out if you can, my local EB has one.

I do wish there were more tables, but I wish that about all pinball games.

I've started playing this again and can't break 3,624,030 on multi mission.
