Pinball of the Dead

And you were using shotguns and chainsaws to get rid of zombies all this time?who looks stupid now?

Love pinball? Hate zombies? Then you owe it to yourself and to the nation to invest in the latest member of Sega?s ?of the Dead? franchise. Say what you will about the concept (no, it?s not quite as magically absurd as Typing of the Dead?but it?s close), this is the best instance of video game flipper mashing since Pok?mon Pinball on the GBC. Pinball of the Dead boasts three diverse, worthwhile, scrolling multi-tiered tables with clear objectives, bizarre targets, and perfectly meaningless names like ?Movement? and ?Wondering.? The physics are spot-on, and your ball is easy to follow. The graphics (unimpressive bosses aside) are clean, detailed, and animated with flashing unlife. The sound effects are great with lots of odd voice samples from the series, and the soundtrack represents modern zombie rock?s finest hour. A few things to moan low about, however: There are no ?collectibles? to shoot for (like Pok?mon Pinball?s Pok?dex), and each table features the same set of rather uninspired boss bonus stages. Otherwise, this is a beautiful, natural marriage of zombies and pinball that no man has the right to question.
