Each board has a variety of bumpers, chutes, creatures, and secret rooms. More of all of the above would've added to the game play-the pace often feels slow and uneventful in comparison to other pinball carts. You spend a lot of time ricocheting back and forth to the same places where nothing new is happening. Spinball's flippers are controlled by Buttons 1 and 2, a two-finger combo that's a little tricky and just doesn't feel right.
You can also use the directional pad to send Sonic spinning left or right as he flies across the screen, and he can use his Super Spin Dash, though it isn't very useful. This cart looks good. The boards and backgrounds are fairly similar to the original, though ofcours rrmch detail is lost on the smaller screen. Does your face scrunch up and do your knuckles clench whenever you hear about the exploits of the world's most dangerous hedgehog? Well take heart, action fans because he's in an entirely new environment, and although there are enough wild thrills in this game, you won't run into any loop-the- loops or yellow springboards.
Yes, that's right, the only mammal to do more running than Bill Clinton is back, and this time he's in a pinball machine. Not just any pinball machine, mind you, but one constructed by the evil Dr. The Doc has locked up more of Sonic's pals, and this time Sonic's gonna bang his head a few times to get 'em out.
Robotnik is enslaving the population of Mobius with the Veg-O-Fortress, a humongous contraption built like a gigantic pinball machine and powered by the Chaos Emeralds. You must blast your way through three boards including the Toxic Caves, the Lava Powerhouse, and the Machine, until finally you have a showdown with Robotnik to save the animals of Mobius. To finish off a board, though, you must first gather a specified number of Chaos Emeralds. That won't be easy, as the Doctor employs a zany zoo of creatures to block your path, including killer chickens, lava worms, flying Ferrons don't ask , and more.
Along with that, there are lava pits, slime pools, deadly grinding gears, and a host of hedgehog horrors to deal with. With the right amount of Sonic speed and flipper ingenuity, however, you'll sail past them in no time. ProTip: Keep your flippers up while Sonic's riding the rails. There are an easy ,00 points to be made by taking the detour, and you can do it over and over again. At the end of each machine, you face one of Robotnik's fearsome bosses, from Scorpius to the Robo- Boiler bosses.
You bounce, jump, and careen off these gruesome, gargantuan game-enders to try to save Mobius. When you're done with a stage, you'll also play a Bonus pinball round, where you have to eliminate a mini-Robotnik creation in order to score an extra ball and more points. The graphics in this pinball game go much faster, have more surprises, and move a lot cleaner than in any other pinball game for the Genesis.
All the sprites are well-animated, and the background boards are colorful, diverse, and intelligently designed. Even the bosses are bigger and better than they are in the Sonic side-scrolling games. The music is definitely pinball-wizard stuff. Every bell, whistle, whoop, and whine is heard and felt in this game. You'll swear that you feel the control pad vibrate when Sonic hits the bumpers, and the music changes when Sonic falls or gets into trouble.
Controlling Sonic is even easier than hitting the bumpers. You can configure the flippers to any button, and you even have some control over Sonic's arc of descent using the directional pad. The game does throw some wrenches at you, like boiling pits of lava that show up where you least expect them, and steam pipes that act as flippers.
If you're a pinball purist, you may not like all the cutesy additions to the traditional pinball motif. If you're a purist, you shouldn't be playing video games anyway. This game is as close to the real thing as you're going to get, and the fact that its Sonic makes it one better. You'll be going back for more if you lose, and you'll definitely find yourself playing over and over again, even if you beat this game.
As for the little blue hedgehog, hey He's fast, he's cheeky, and he's blue. He's also Game Gear-bound this fall. As in the previous Genesis version, in this four-meg handheld game, Sonic the Hedgehog must spin, flip, and fly through Dr. Sonic Spinball leaves much to be desired. The graphics are dark, and the audio is poor. The game play is very poor. It doesn't control half as well as it should. The game gets frustrating after a few minutes of play.
There are too many ways to die. Once you hit the 'Hog with the flipper, you virtually have no control of where he goes. It doesn't even have the pinball feel to it. I'd pass on Sonic Spinball. Pinball isn't my gig and having Sonic in there doesn't help matters much.
The most noticeable problem is that the screen is jerky as it scrolls around. The levels are pretty cool and there's a lot to interact with, but the game just isn't a whole lot of fun to play. Although pinball games typically don't offer much control of the game, Sonic Spinball offers even less with its poor control and boring plot line. I pass. Sonic Spinball is an original concept blending elements of Sonic and pinball.
Unfortunately, it falls short on fun and game play. The left flipper being the T button is a hindrance and should have been on the control pad. It was just difficult to play, especially with all the blurs that you must squint through. Many times the ball seems to move to the same location when you hit it, making progress slow. I liked the Genesis version, due to its change of pace for Sonic. I've played pinball for years and enjoy its play mechanics but on video its hard to recapture the "feel.
The biggest pain is both buttons being so close that they have to act as the flippers. This does make it a bit awkward to play. Yet, the game is a fun portable with big levels. Good for pinball fans. Question: Hey if it's not too much to ask and I really mean it , can you guys print a map of the fourth level Showdown? I've tried it about once or twice and the whole place looked cockeyed to me, so please help me get those five emeralds! Answer: First of all, it's not 'you guys', it's just little old me, all by my lonesome.
Second, it's usually not too much trouble, especially given that I've printed maps to the other three levels of Spinball in past issues. However, this one turned into some kind of nightmare - the damn thing is HUGE!
And lastly - hey, you only tried it once or twice before you came running to me? Show some cajones man, and stick with it a while next time. Now, get ready for a new kind of Hedgehog adventure - Spinball! This time around, Sonic must face four nasty levels in a pinball style fashion in order to save the island from Robotnik's clutches!
This time around, Sonic was programmed in the U. This cart is filled with all kinds of kooky animations and cool stunts that we've come to expect from a Sonic cart.
Also, there is a pinball bonus game that allows you to free your trapped friends that are from the comic book stories. Definitely the best from Sega of America!
This zone can be best described as a tutorial. If you manage to die in this zone, then you really do stink! You can attempt to rescue yourself from danger. Here, it won't be as easy to escape from dangers as it was in the last level. Fire pits of lava will scorch you and wind pipes will push you into inevitable death!
Sonic returns! I like his new adventure. The thought of being in a pinball machine is a real novel idea. The graphics, music and sound are all top-notch. As it stands by itself, it's a good game, but it pales when compared to the other Sonic games. If you are a real pinball wizard, you'll probably love this game, but Sonic fans might be disappointed. Hooray for Sonic, let's see another!
Well, it looks as if Sonic is taking up a new career as a pinball. Sonic Spinball is definitely a new setting for the hedgehog and there are points for originality, but the overall execution of the game seems like an afterthought. The scrolling of the pinball boards is choppy and it's hard to control what you want to do. As a plus, the boards are huge with lots of nooks and crannies with items to seek out.
It's worth a look. Video pinball games aren't the most exciting; but in this case, I can make an exception. This plays as well as another game in its category. New Sonic animations have been included which were not found in his other adventure games.
On the down side, the graphics don't appear sharp and the sound was unimpressive. At times, it's hard to get into other areas of the pinball and you'd end up going in circles. This is a really fresh idea for Sonic. There is a lot of pinball action and great animations Sonic rolling, spinning and teetering. Each lever is huge with multiple play areas that are all interconnected. There are plenty of passageways, but it could have used a few more power-up speed ball.
The game gives you plenty of chances, but it is still quite hard to complete each level. We were able to get a closer look, and we mapped out the first level so you can see the depth and intricate detail of Sonic's latest adventures.
