The ball doesn't bounce enough off the flippers, so all you have to do is hold up the flipper when a ball is coming at it and you can trap it almost 100% of the time (even if it's moving very fast when it hits the flipper.....which isn't realistic at all. It doesn't work that way in real pinball. When you combine this with the flippers being too close together (I said a couple days ago on FB that you almost have to fall asleep for the ball to get past the flippers and drain down the middle), you're left with an experience that doesn't capture the challenge of real pinball.....which is unfortunate because the tables look great, sound really good, and flow pretty well.....but I often get bored before I'm even finished with one game because it's just too easy to keep the ball going. One of my biggest frustrationss with the video game industry is when developers make games too easy on purpose and water them down to appeal to the casual crowd, so I'm disappointed that Zen has taken that route because their games do have the potential to be really great.</p></blockquote><p></p>
