Stern Pinball Arcade
SCORE: 77
We were really excited to hear Stern Pinball Arcade was getting a physical copy release. We contacted the companies involved with this game multiple times. They did not respond to emails, voice mails, or carrier pigeons. I don’t know what their major malfunction is, but they failed us.
So we purchased Stern Pinball Arcade on the Playstation 4. I finally got time to play this game with ten pinball tables. There is supposed to be an eleventh (Ghostbusters Premium) table, but I don’t know if it will be paid DLC, or free. The ten tables in Stern Pinball Arcade are Star Trek Vengeance Premium, AC/DC Premium, Mustang Premium Boss, Harley Davidson Third Edition, Last Action Hero, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Starship Troopers, High Roller Casino, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, and Phantom of the Opera.
The issues families will have with Stern Pinball Arcade are enticement to lust, lack of attire, violence, gambling, blood, and more. The images are either on the table or in that little pinball display screen with really bad resolution. That goes for enticement to lust (mainly), violence, blood, and gore. There are some creepy images on some tables, and on the backgrounds.
Stern Pinball Arcade does a good job of emulating these tables. There is also history on the tables, along with things like fliers for them. There are leaderboards so you can see where your score ranks with the rest of the people who have played this game across multiple platforms. The loading is generally okay. I felt like it took too long loading all of the tables.
So with ten tables there is all kinds of variety. I noticed some tables have massively high scores, and others are much lower. Some tables are designed to keep the ball in play, and others like to have you lose the ball quickly. It ranges in Stern Pinball Arcade. There should be enough tables for families to get their moneys worth out of Stern Pinball Arcade.
Stern Pinball Arcade is worth around twenty dollars in my opinion. I enjoyed my time with this pinball video game.
