Interplay Pro Pinball - Big Race USA Puzzle Review

Overall Rating
 5 of 5

Price Paid:  $15.00 from local store

Summary:
I am a big fan of Pro Pinball sims and had to buy this to complete the series. I was not disappointed. This has all the realism and features any pinball fan could ask for. I have been playing it for months and still have a lot of features to complete. If you like pinball then this is a must. WARNING. I am running Windows XP and this game will only work using the compatability wizard and can be tempramental at times.

Summary:
Big Race USA is a good challenge if you are any type of pinball addict. It takes about half an hour to familiarize yourself with the game, and lots and LOTS of practice to consider yourself proficient....Once you feel good enough, Empire Games offers head-to-head competition, and there is a high scores page for anyone talented enough to meet and beat the scores currently posted.

The graphics and sound quality are unsurpassable. This game truly makes you feel like it is a genuine, stand on the floor pinball game, and every review you will read will point this out...it is one of Empire's greatest strengths.

I've been playing the game for over 2 months, and have yet to reach or compete in "The Big Race", but I am getting closer each time, and the challenge is what is most addictive to me....too many PC pinball games are easily mastered. Not so Big Race. You will really enjoy it.

If the Normal Game mode is too challenging, or too easy, you can adjust the play, as well as the angle of the table, strength of the flippers, even the condition of the table from brand new to neglected, with the table view corresponding, even down to grime and pitting on the pinball itself!

Truly a fun game to play, I would give it a strong 8.5 on the gaming scale, the difficulty level keeping it from being a true "10".
