I noticed Pinball of the Dead from Wow Entertainment (sega) came out yesterday.
Curious about reviews from websites or what you guys think.
Lemme know!
Thanks

Well I found a review in Game Informer which gave it a 9, and read the GamePro review, so I decided to go pick it up.
Only played it for about 15 minutes so far, and just read through the manual. Seems like a good pinball game with a fun theme and good replay. Has pretty good graphics and some good sound samples from the previous games, as well as recognizable characters as bosses from House of the Dead 2.
The house of the dead is turning out to be quite the franchise for Sega.
House of the Dead (Saturn)
House of the Dead 2 (Dreamcast/PC)
Typing of the Dead (Dreamcast/PC)
Pinball of the Dead (GBA)
House of the Dead Movie (Theatre)0
House of the Dead 3 (Xbox)
Looking forward to HOTD 3 and also I hear there is goign to be a HOTD based on the movie?

Well after some more extended time, the game is really good. It's pretty addicting, and it has a good learning curve, as there are enough secrets or "special point areas" that are hard to get that it takes a while before experiencing alot of them.
Has tons of stuff lifted from HOTD 2, which is cool...
Also has unlockable secrets, as after a game I played today, it opened the Sound Test in the options screen. So I wonder what else is unlockable?
Behind Sonic Advance, my 2nd favorite game... Or Advance Wars.

I've seen it at various Wal-Mart stores a few times. It is a pretty hard game to find in stores though. I'm guessing Sega didn't make many.
I've got it and its a great time killer.

I was eagerly awaiting it, since I was a big fan of Devil's Crush (TG-16). While this is similar to Devil's Crush in many ways, it's just not as fun. It's a good game, but I wanted more.

This is the first game i picked up when i got my SP. Its extremely fun and like others said, the graphics and sounds are cool! But dont be fooled, its kinda tuff. Ofcourse you can just pop it in and play for fun, but Challenge mode is um, well... a challenge. You've got to satisfy certain conditions in order to face the boss, then you have to fight about 5 bosses per stage before you fight like the final boss before you can move on to the next pinball table. But like i said, its fun and theres three cool a$$ tables, i like the first one Wondering the best.

Other GBA pinball games?
I'm with asco & Wompratz. Devil's Crush rules! Esp. on the TurboExpress. PotD might be the coolest pin game since. (Although I like Kirby Pinball & Pokemon Pin for the 'collecting' feature.)
Anyone try other GBA pinball games? Likes? Dislikes??
