Rating: - Unique and wonderful pinball play
This pinball game breaks the traditional pinball barriers. First of all, you can advance to new tables, as you'd progress in an action game. Second, each table really consists of multiple tables which interact very well.
The graphics are real nice and the gameplay is enjoyable. At first, it can seem overwhelming, but as you adjust to the new style of the truly 3D game, you'll begin to love it.
Cons: Well, there are a couple problems. First, even with my vision, the second table is a bit difficult to play on. The color of the board masks the pinball itself. I've only played the first two tables, so I can't remark on the remainder. Second, the plungers are a bit off. I've had the ball go through the plungers, or I should say, the end of the plungers. That is extremely annoying. However, you can adjust for that.
All in all, this is a great game.

I really can't get into fighting games, so it was a welcome change to find Adventure Pinball. Very interactive, great for all ages. Hope they make more.
Rating: - Fast, highly addictive gameplay
I'm speechless! I already own the Gamefest series of "traditional" pinball simulations and am totally hooked, but Adventure Pinball is like nothing I've ever experienced.
The tables are wild! colorful! imaginative! challenging but not impossible! and really fun!! The characters include Ooga the cavewoman and villagers, T-Rex, Brontosaurus, looney rabbits, frogs, snowmen, snakes, spiders, baby crabs...the list goes on. The way the steel pinball changes into a waterball, lavaball, tarball, fireball & pearlball really adds to the fun factor of this game.
The game begins on Table 1 of 9, Ooga's home, where you set out to accomplish a number of tasks like growing Ooga's strawberries with a waterball, scaring off sharks to save Ooga, and playing bongo drums! The green spinning arrows show you where to put the ball next to advance in the game - but have fun growing flowers, collecting gems, breaking crystals and pumping the purple flowers for stardust in the meantime.
Each table has several progressive playing levels - so when you lose the ball in one of the progressions it usually reappears on one of the previous levels (so all hope isn't lost). Set the Game Options to the "easy" setting and you'll get 5 balls on each table. AND...you can either Play the Story (to advance and unlock levels) or Play the Table of your choice (no advancement).
