The classic
arcade game of pinball undergoes an extreme
reworking in Adventure Pinball: Forgotten
Island for the PC. From the co-
developers of the popular "Unreal
Tournament" PC title, the game will take
pinball gaming through an adventure-based story
through a series of incredible 3D realms and
worlds fused with fast-paced action.
Adventure
Pinball is a fully interactive 3D pinball
adventure game in which the player journeys
through a number of increasingly difficult
pinball tables, or stages, in order to save the
denizens of Forgotten Island a prehistoric
island filled with dinosaurs and other fantastic
creatures untouched by modern civilization. To
succeed, the player must complete a multitude of
challenging events that will open a series of
passages to allow access to the next stage as
well as earning points.
The game extends
itself beyond the traditional
"twitch"-reaction style of gameplay
through the element of strategy. In order to be
successful, the player will need to use their
wits and intuition to get through the different
stages. For example, to finish a stage, the
player will need to feed a Brontosaurus by first
acquiring a waterball and then using it to water
growing flowers which will attract the
Brontosaurus. The Brontosaurus will start eating
the grown flowers and any ball that gets near him
will be lifted to the next table by his mouth.
Utilizing the Unreal
Tournament game engine, Adventure Pinball
will feature vibrant 3D locations, fluid movement
and moments that are unlike anything ever seen
before in pinball gaming. Examples include:
Pinballs will catch
fire and drift
over waterfalls. Ancient Pterodactyls will grab
pinballs and fly away, dropping them in another
level of the table. Sharks patrol a lagoon,
daring the player to hit them with the pinball.
Cavemen will attempt to swat balls away with
their wooden clubs.
Competitive,
turn-based multiplayer support of up to four will
enrich the overall game experience.
