Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

PINBALL is creative and a nice way to pass time while waiting in line, but it's not going to wow true pinball fans. The tables lack depth and stories, and the ball can sometimes be lost in the tables with more colorful backgrounds. The ads are a concern for parents of younger children. The tables deviate from normal pinball play (especially the Space Invaders design), but that's what keeps this app from becoming just another mediocre pinball game. It's free, so if the ads aren't a concern, it's worth a download.
