Metroid Prime Pinball (DS)

I think I’m starting to get into this. My scores seem to be improving. I’m still quite sure what I’m doing, but I think I’m learning. You need to collect enough artefacts to light up SAMUS to move to a boss level, or something.

Manual? Pah!

Finally got around to trying this. It seems all right. Games are about the right length for me, too, and not endless endurance matches like some GBA pinball games I could mention. Not much idea of how the table I tried works yet, mind.

I’ve just tried the first boss three more times.

Can’t do it. Can get the energy bar about half-way down, but that’s it.

It’s a stupid difficulty spike.

I don’t understand Metroid games. People love them but I’ve never found one that’s not rubbish.

I think I might just give up on this one, to be honest.

Tried the single player.

It’s good. Looks nice… for the DS, though the design isn’t exactly special. Very smooth though. Controls work surprisingly well. The stylus works pretty well as a mouse replacement.

One problem is the distance between save points is a bit of a long way. Another problem is that I got to an annoying boss. I hate them. They annoy me.

Main problem, though, is that after a little over half an hour’s play my left hand aches like a bastard. Not good.
