  • Summary: Flipper Critters is set in an imaginary world filled with a huge range of settings, from town squares and mountain valleys to towering castles and even the surface of the moon. All of the traditional pinball features are still there, including ramps, sinkholes, bumpers, jackpots, gates and goals – just in a different form than you've ever seen them. Both display screens in full 3D – a first! A feast of missions and objectives that help to advance the story. A high degree of freedom in deciding what missions to do next and where to travel, making each game a different experience from the last. A mesmeric three-dimensional, cartoon-like world. Villages, mountain tops and even the surface of the moon become pinball tables. Fast paced arcade action. Fabulous sound and music. State-of-the-art ball physics, giving fast and responsive control. Wi Fi features include: 2 player multiplay for each mini game, called duel. Three kinds of mini games linking the pinball tables in Story Mode - as you proceed unlock them. Each mini game has 4 very different visuals. Magic Bridge: You race against the other player and first past the line wins. Gravity: your goal is to make your enemy submarine sink by picking up driller icons. [Conspiracy Entertainment]… Expand

    With some perseverance, and a little patience, players will find Flipper Critters offers a lengthy and challenging quest. The pinball action is suitable for all skill levels, yet tough enough to endure in the hands of pros.

    Whether this is an act of desperation or simply a profit strategy isn't clear…but at the very least, the price is right. It's not the best pinball game on the market, but it's honestly not a bad game if you're willing to put up with some of the quirky warts.

    The game isn't very good as an overall package, although the budget price might make it worthwhile for pinball enthusiasts looking for a couple of new tables to play.

    All in all, the game would have benefited from less character and more clarity. [Aug 2007, p.88]
