The game, which uses the Unreal Tournament engine, takes "the classic arcade game of pinball through an adventure-based story through a series of fantastic 3D realms and worlds fused with fast-paced action."

The game will feature a number of increasingly difficult pinball tables the player must complete in order to save the people of Forgotten Island "a prehistoric island filled with dinosaurs and other fantastic creatures untouched by modern civilization."

Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island is a unique pinball title that's one of the most unorthodox mix of genres to date: pinball and platform game. Pinball fanatics interested in hardcore simulations of arcade tables probably won't know what to make of Adventure Pinball, so here’s the dish: The main game gives you a series of tasks that you need to complete in order to progress through the game's story and onto the next table. Within each level, there are usually three or more tables that are linked by ramps and tunnels. The main playfield on each level is generally bigger, and there are more bonuses and points to rack up on it but you need to get to the smaller side tables to complete various tasks, such as helping a character named Ooga water her strawberries. You complete the tasks by hitting the right targets at the right time, just as in a regular pinball game. You can play any of the tables individually as well.

The main difference in Adventure Pinball, however, are the pinball "tables" themselves. Actually, they're not tables at all. The environments mimic more natural outdoor surroundings complete with trees, water, volcanoes, and the like. Unique camera cuts and plenty of animations (one level has a 3D T-Rex stomping around) make Adventure Pinball a unique pinball game. Get ready for adventure soon, 'cause this game hits the launch ramp in a matter of days.

Overall:- This game reminds me of when I had a Sega Master System II and a pin ball game called Marble Madness was brought out it more or less the same sort of thing, it’s like a cross between Marble Madness and a board type game called Screwball Scramble.

This game is for the hard core pin ball player as  it is very hard to handle one wrong move and that’s it start again but by no means is it a bad game it puts the other pin ball games out there to shame.
