TLK Games 3DRT Pinball machine looks and reacts like a real bar machine with fantastic ballistics effects and realistic sounds. It's true. As it's a truth that the game is good, very good.

Why do I think this 3D Pinball Unlimited to be a good game? Well, because before it I played two really bad ones. 3D Pinball Unlimited is unpretentious, but impressive, funny, relaxing and directly from our childhood. If, having played some rounds, you claim you prefer more intellectual pastime, doesn't it indicate your response ability needs substantial training? Keep playing and maybe you'll enhance it.

3D Pinball Unlimited offers 4 stylish tables: Western Story, Swamp of Terror, Space Attack and Football, each of their own rules and graphics rendering the atmosphere of real playing rooms and pinball machines. The graphics and ball physics are definitely at their best.

Contrary to numerous pinball games with balls bouncing around happily on their own most of the time, 3D Pinball Unlimited will require your fast response to manage the situation. Launch the ball and make it roll along lanes and hit targets of maximal scores; beat it back with 3 flippers and try not to mix up buttons.

From factual characteristic features: 1-4 players and 3 difficulty levels: from extra easy to extra hard. No scrollable full-screen 3D view, resolution up to 1280x1024x16. Tables can be adjusted for best visual comfort: F2 and you turn on a center fixed camera; F3 and the camera follows the movements of the ball. To refresh your childhood recollections, move up and down the front side of the table. And shake the table to make playing more realistic.

As for my subjective impression, I'd highlight the successful design and the combination of effects, impressive and effectual, not arguing if "bigger is better" or saying that "less is more".

Additional setup options allow modifying sound, volume, reflection, and glow.

Have you noticed I never told 3D Pinball Unlimited was a simple game? It is not. A delusive idea that all you have to do is to strike command keys disappears at the first glance at the game's Guidelines (Help section).

It's the same Western Story, but told differently. A few of us, mortals, can understand it and very few – implement.

The system of a score counting is a complicated one. Just several examples. "The same ball has to run three times along the lane L10, L9, L8 to get the subsequent scores multiply by 2".

Or. "To get extra balls, let the ball roll along the lane L17. First run: L21 is on, L20 blinks and scores 50K. Second run: L21 is on, L20, L19 blinks and scores 100K. Third run: L21 is on, L20 lights on, L19 lights on, L18 blinks and scores250K. Fourth run: all 4 bulbs blink, the bulb L26 EXTRABALL lights on and scores 500K."

God save you from starting memorizing it! Though, it's just a humble opinion of a person who doesn't favor rules as a phenomenon. When playing, I prefer being entertained, not challenged. But I have to acknowledge, the very existence of comprehensible algorithms makes 3D Pinball Unlimited a game to return to. And real connoisseurs will enjoy it most.

The best scores are displayed on tlkgames.com and you can enter the competition by uploading your score and your name in case of best performance.

Summing up, 3D Pinball Unlimited is worth playing and buying. Developers focus on the quality and coolness of the theme and design while we can pretty much take for granted the physics as we do in real-world pinball. Enjoy!
