90Although House of the Dead has been done before, and Pinball has been done before, SEGA and THQ did a great job of mixing the two together and making a fun and unique title with plenty of challenge and replayability.
-
It may not be the deepest game or the best video pinball title of all time, but it is a fantastic cart, and one that you will come back to again and again for as long as you own your Game Boy Advance. [July 2002, p.92]
-
It combines great visuals, good sound effects and good overall music, and is solid as a pinball game.
-
90This is the best instance of video game flipper mashing since "Pokémon Pinball" on the GBC.
-
90Inventive table design, challenging play, and the incorporation of George Romero-style dialogue from the original series, combine to make it hard to put this one down.
-
85More tables would have been nice, though the boss stages and unlockable areas mitigate this.
-
One of those games that will last a while and provide the same thrill a year from now as it does today.
-
85For fans of pinball or the walking dead, the game is a must-have.
-
80The game's table design aren't exactly simulating real pinball either...it's the continuous action, learning the specific places to shoot that makes Pinball of the Dead a solid GBA title.
-
80A fine-looking, great-sounding, fun-filled game.
-
Frighteningly fun. [July 2002, p.149]
-
What Dead makes up in return is a good dose of ironic humor, irresistible charm and exuberant swagger, which are all the more strengthened if you've played "House of the Dead" before.
-
80Subtle touches such as the clips from HotD2, voice acting, and mimicked designs of the series' various settings make PotD a fitting homage to the series.
-
80There are just so many features and things to unlock, you'll be playing this one for a long long time – it's almost too difficult.
-
An excellently designed game, fun enough to take your mind off all the gun-toting soldiers at the airport while you wait for your flight.
-
70A devilishly addictive and polished little pinball game that delivers in (grave diggers') spades.
-
70If you want to relive the good old days of the pinball era, try tracking down a copy of this game. And if you're itching to smack around a few more zombies, look no further than Pinball of the Dead.
-
Despite my small gripes, Dead is stsill a must-have in any to-go gamer's pocket. [July 2002, p.126]
-
65The physics in the game are a tad off. [Spring 2002, p.38]
-
58Console pinball is really not where it's at, but in this portable fashion, it is probably about as good as you can get.
