Release Date: January 2, 2003
Quite a classic pinball. You can choose from four different tables, which are thematically related to the history of the United States. Noteworthy is an extensive multiplayer for four people.
Pinball Tycoon is a rather unusual product. Theoretically, it is a combination of a simple strategy and a pinball. Winning money on subsequent tables can be accumulated and used for other purposes. In practice, however, it turns out that this element plays at most a symbolic role. Pinball Tycoon looks like a classic pinball. Development studio Ignition Entertainemnt is responsible for the production of this game, which also prepared such games as Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action! or Metal Slug Advance. This product was, of course, designed exclusively for the owners of the Nintendo portable console.
This pinball to offer has four different tables. As in the case of this type of production, these are thematic boards, i.e. with a leading theme. In the case of the production in question, these are elements of the history of the United States. The available tables are connected with the Wild West (and especially with gold fever), or the formation of Hollywood. However, the boards do not differ much from each other. Nevertheless, you can count on a large number of interactive objects or ramps on which the ball can move.
The physics of ball behaviour is at a decent level, although the game is far from the level of realism presented, for example, by Hardcore Pinball. Pinball Tycoon is more fun oriented. Unlike many other productions of this genre, in which we usually play alone, this time we took care of a full-fledged multiplayer for four people. Of course, players play alternately, using only one console. Visually, Pinball Tycoon presents a similar level to its competitors.
