iPhone App Review: Wild West Pinball
May 3rd, 2009 by Daniel KaneWild West Pinball, developed by OOOGameprom, is the best pinball game out their, it combines real physics and great graphics giving it the feel of an actual pinball machine.
When launching the app you only have two options, one being to play and the next viewing high scores. This really adds simplicity to the game. Once clicking play you see a well-designed pin ball machine, with of course two flippers, and ball-launcher. The first step is launching the ball, which is handled very fluidly the camera zooms in to the ball, pulling the launcher back and forth launches the ball. Controlling the flippers is all done by tapping on the left and right side of the screen. The simple controls work very well, and it adds to the pick up and play factor. Adding points to your score is done by hitting bonus sections, such as “Kill Dirty Harry”. If you are able to successfully hit into the upper left hand corner of the screen, “Dirty Harry” is released your goal is to shoot him down with your ball. Just like real pinball machines you have 3 chances to score as many points as you can.

Another, nice feature is the ability to view the 15 best scores, and of course be able to compete with them. Right now, the high score is 1.2 million, can you beat it?
Visual/Sound Effects: I said before the game has great graphics, and I can’t stress that enough it boasts High-Resolution 3-D Graphics, and a frame rate of 40 FPS. I’ve never seen the game the lag, and I’ve been playing for quite a while. The sound effects are also great in this game, although their is no actual song in the background their is realistic sounds effects while the ball bounces around the screen.
You should buy this if you’re a casual gamer that wants a game you can pull out where ever you are and have some fun.
Overall, this game is a great pick up and play game with great graphics, and real physics, at 99 cents it’s a steal!
