Crüe Ball
Metal ballsGenre: arcade - pinball
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Use left on dpad and C for the two paddles. The one and only table has three levels of paddles, although you rarely see the top level. There's also a mini game of Pong vs skeletons which move toward you, Plants vs Zombies style. The camera scrolls with the ball which is very nice. It's pinball, but it's a good game of pinball.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Well there's only the one table. It has several triggered events, like a big set of blocks to knock down, words to knock down one letter at a time, lots of blinking bumpers, and uhh, an inchworm that crawls across the table.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
Not a pinball fan. Not a heavy metal fan. Not a morbid, bugs and skeletons fan.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Wonderful animation and scrolling. Everything moves smoothly with no slowdown. It's a dark background but there's a lot to look at in the foreground. Could've used a few more sprites beyond the skeletons and inchworm, but whatever.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
It's horribly raspy but the tunes are enjoyable. The sounds aren't great tho. Perfect example of Genesis sounds
Overall Score: 63
