The graphics in this game are both good and bad. The tables themselves look very good and have lots of animated parts and very detailed pathways for the ball, but therein lies the problem – there’s too much stuff on the tables. Sometimes you can’t even see where your ball is going or what it is doing, and there’s a lot of junk on the table that is there only for decoration and it gets in the way. I had a hard time just figuring out where I was supposed to shoot the ball because it isn’t obvious. You can adjust the camera style for the table, but it only helps a little.
The biggest problem I had with the graphics in this game was the ball animation. Whenever you hit the ball or anything happens to make it go fast, a bright silver streak appears behind it, and this streak goes halfway across the screen. This makes the ball incredibly hard to follow because instead of just seeing a moving ball, you have this big silver swoosh in the way. I felt like the ball tended to move way too fast for a pinball game, and that abundance of speed plus the silver streak made it hard to tell what you were doing.
Just so you know, I am playing this on a 47” HDTV using an HDMI cable to get the full 1080p resolution.
