Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey Demo

Pinball simulators were pretty popular up until a few years ago, although there are still many games out there that try to emulate the famous arcades found in bars and the like. However, some of them managed to find the right formula quite a while ago, by integrating accurate physics and plenty of other mechanics to make the simulation feel and look as real as the table itself.

Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey is a pinball simulator that includes almost everything you might need in order to enjoy the sport from the comfort of your own home, including an ultra-realistic physics engine governing the ball movements, plenty of interesting tables to try out and smooth gameplay mechanics to make it simple for anyone to just pick up the game and play.

The themes vary wildly throughout the missions, although they are all connected to the fantasy term in the title somehow and they certainly look incredibly well. Hence, you can visit the Victorian era and have a bit of fun with steampunk-inspired architecture, as well as with many other such interesting contraptions that decorate the tables and yield extraordinary results when touched by the steel ball.

As previously mentioned, one of the best selling points of the game is the fact that a lot of work went into making sure that the ball respects the laws of physics and reacts accurately to your input. Thus, by making proper use of the levers on each side of the hole, you can direct it anywhere you want on the table and hit the desired target, in order to receive points.

Speaking of which, the high scores are practically the end goal of the game, since every action is rewarded with points and you must gather as many as you can before the mission ends, or you drop the ball into the pit. A list of the highest scoring players is displayed at the end of each round, which should keep you motivated to try harder and beat your own scores as many times as you wish.

In the end, Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey is one of the most complete pinball games out there, since it does provide you with everything you might need in order to enjoy your favorite activity. Moreover, the settings panel comes with a wide array of options and adjustments you can make, all of which affect the experience and have some sort of influence on the gameplay.
