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.
