Well for those that like pinball or have played Pinball FX, I think the teamxbox review is pretty much spot on.
My only complaint that gamespot brings up that is valid is the nudge with the left thumbstick isn't as useful/helpful/intuitive as it could be.
From the teamxbox review:
It’s also a solid-playing game, with the primary controls being flapping the flippers, which comes from squeezes on the left and right triggers. The gameplay is smooth and intuitive. Other controls include triggering the plunger at the start of each ball, to send the silver sphere into play; and nudging the table with a push on the left stick—though it’s not something you’ll likely use too much, because it’s sensitive and easy to “tilt.”
The other key control is the X Button, which flips you through a few different viewing perspectives: mostly overhead; three-quarters overhead; and a close-up look at where the ball is at the time, which also moves as the ball travels around the playfield. The latter view makes it pretty tough to comfortably track the action, because it shifts quite a lot (and often quickly) with the ball’s movement.
The best of Pinball FX’s features is its physics. The ball moves cleanly and accurately, and when it hits a flipper or something in the playfield, it doesn’t stick or unnaturally overlap with the other object. The ball does play a bit heavy, but the game’s designers have done a great job getting a video game to play like a true pinball table.
AND FINALLY:
gamespot only giving this ARCADE title a 5/10 is pure injustice. I'd like to see an Arcade title that has better graphics for a pinball title than this developed, and come in around 50MB. I think it is unfair to give this very nice looking pinball (XBLA) title a 5/10. It is much more suited to get a 9/10.
A 5 in graphics is low though, I agree. It should be something like a 7.
Don't like the second table that much though, but the third one is also very nice. Will definitely buy all tables that come in the next months . . .. playing it can get quite hypnotizing after a while . . ... hehehe
