Gameplay

Pinball Heroes is a simplistic pinball video game where points can be score by hitting objects with the ball. It exclusively features boards themed around PlayStation games at the time, including Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Pain, High Velocity Bowling , Fat Princess , Wipeout HD Fury , ModNation Racers , Everybody's Golf and MotorStorm , each of which is purchasable as separate downloadable content, though one must be purchased first to access the game. They are bundled together for the Vita release, which also features a leaderboard and social network functionality. [3]

Reception

Sammy Barker of Push Square gave the re-released version a 6/10 score, praising its original ideas and implementation of other franchises into the gameplay, but he criticized its technical performance for being disappointingly low effort. [5]
