Zen Pinball 3D

« Zen Pinball 3D is no quick n' dirty port. It's a lovely new way to enjoy Zen Pinball on the go. »

« Zen Pinball 3D is a polished experience that will please pinball and video game fans alike. Despite its conservative take on pinball, as compared to games like Devil's Crush, it still offers an enjoyable experience that is worth any 3DS owner's time. »

« There are so many nooks and crannies for your ball to explore and you get awards for hitting certain areas and fulfilling tasks. »

« Fans have been ill-served on the pinball front for too long now, but this is a giant nudge in the right direction. [Jan 2012, p.122] »

« Zen Pinball 3D is an excellent representation of pinball, with the attractive stereoscopic visuals adding an extra sense of immersion. »

« Zen Pinball 3D may not have the eye candy of its big brothers, but it's without question one of the best games on the eShop. »

« Like ZEN Studios' previous offerings, Zen Pinball 3D reproduces the best aspects of pinball beautifully, and the 3D truly adds to the enjoyment and gets you that much closer to feeling like you're playing real pinball. »

« A nice way to take your Zen Pinball on the go. Local Hotseat lets you take the arcade with you, and integrated leaderboards are a nice touch to keep tabs on all your friends. »

« Zen Pinball 3D brings classic pinball gameplay to the small screen in 3D. It adds a lot of depth to the intricate detail in the tables. Zen have done an excellent job with the graphics, with every nook and cranny beautifully done. Where Zen Pinball falls short is in the sound effects- I hate hearing that same annoying voice going on all the time. On each table, there are several secrets, which is great, but it's hard to know what's going on while you reach these special areas, especially when you control additional flippers in a minigame. This isn't helped by the distant camera. As would be expected, there are online leaderboards, which greatly increase the replayability. Zen Pinball 3D doesn't do much to make pinball appeal to wider audiences, but it is very much quality pinball, and a must-have for pinball fans. »

« I'm really happy with the gameplay for the price of this title. I used to be a big pinball arcade fan back in the day when they were still popular. I've also followed the growing genre of video game pinball ever since 3D pinball came with Microsoft Plus! 95 for Windows. Zen Studios is definitely one of the best at creating these fun virtual pinball machines and I am looking forward to their future releases. I highly recommend this if pinball is one of your favorites. My nephew on the other hand isn't much of a pinball fan and this didn't change his mind about it. So I recommend to just try a demo or read more about it before purchase if you're not a big fan of pinball in general. »

« I have never been a pinball fan, but this game is addictive. I think its the best game in the e shop. Pinball work great in 3d. The only two flaws I saw were 1) only four tables, and 2) pinball is confusing (maybe just because Im new to it) and the scoring is weird and seems to be more about luck. Still, its a fairly fun, very addictive game that works well on the 3ds. »

« Awesomely addictive game; easily my favourite eShop download so far. All the tables are fun and the challenge to beat your previous high scores makes for excellent re-playability. Highly recommended. »

« The game uses well the 3d effect, and the tables are fun to play. The game is great although low framerates (@30 fps) makes sometimes impossible to follow the ball around the table. So far is one of the best games at eshop. »
