This
is the fourth title in Cunning Development's excellent Pro Pinball
series. The first title in the series was "The Web", an almost
unbelievably cool pinball with the best music ever in a pinball
simulation! Next came "Timeshock!" with one of the most complex and
challenging tables ever, the table was just great, the theme
intriguing, an instant classic! The third title in the series was Big
Race U.S.A, a title that sidestepped from the previous two by having a
more humorous (sort of at least) non sci fi related theme. The table
was filled with modes, talking cars and things to explore and an
awaiting final wizmode, the really big race! BRUSA also featured the
H2H mode (play other pinball players over the internet). The physics
had also improved noticeably from the previous two. Now the fourth
title in the series is here, "Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey". This
time the table theme is based up on (inspired by) the works of Jules
Verne. You must construct four steam powered contraptions and complete
four fantastic adventures in order to reach the fifth adventure where
you must penetrate the force field surrounding the mysterious island,
the island where General Yagov is holding out! Yagov is holding the
world to ransom, if his demands aren't met he will launch one of his
own contraptions, a rocket, towards the moon... you must stop him!
Fantastic
Journey features all the things one have come to except from Cunning,
the Operators Menu with which you can customize and examine pretty much
everything on the table, just like you can with a real one! You can
change the condition of the table (from 'maintained' to 'neglected) and
the table slope, there's also a number of difficulty levels to choose
from (or you can customize the table to your own likings with as many
balls as you want, well almost as many as you want). The physics and
graphics are quite simply great!
