Sonic Spinball is a very fun game that adds a whole new element to pinball. I always enjoyed Pinball and I always enjoyed so I couldn't resist trying it out on my Sega Genesis. It's a pretty sweet game, it combines the fast action of a Sonic game and the excitement and addictiveness of Pinball.

STORY: Dr Robotnik is once again trying to capture innocent animals and turn them into robots. He built a gigantic volcano on Mt Mobius called the Veg-O-Fortress, and uses it to transform the animals into robots. Sonic and Tails come to the rescue and then suddenly. Their airplane gets shot by a cannon on the fortress. Sonic then falls off and sinks in the water and then gets rescued and arrives at the bottom of the Pinball defense system at the bottom of the volcano. Where he works his way up the volcano to defeat Dr Robotnik.

GRAPHICS: The levels are packed with traps, bumpers, and enemies. They are colorful and have a distinct personality. The graphics are also smooth and detailed making this a very good looking game.

SOUND: The sound is not as good as the previous titles. I think that the soundtrack is not as good and the sound effects are not nearly as good.

ADDICTIVENESS: There was a time where I spent all night on this game trying to beat it. Like all Pinball style games, it's addicting and very fun.

DEPTH: Pinball games are not supposed to have a bunch of variety. This game has 4 huge pinball stages that are the size of 20 pinball tables, which is my estimate. There's even a boss stage in every level. However the game could have used some more pinball tables.

DIFFICULTY: The game is very hard. You have to do things perfectly which gets pretty annoying over time. It took me months to beat this game because of the difficulty.

OVERALL RATING: 8.7

Awesome Review!

I've finished this game a few times, and I must say it's amazing and fun. The Final Boss is a hell.

Keep the good work!

Sonic Spinball is an ok pinball game I guess, but it's definitely one of those "we've run out of real ideas/we want to profit off the name" kind of games. Like "Mario is Missing," only 100 times better :p One cool thing though is that Spinball is one of the few examples in the 16 bit era of a Sonic game that wasn't a "real" game, as in one of the few spin-offs. And it's a decent spin off at that.
