Pataank is the only pinball game where you play in place of the ball. You move around in a 3D environment that recreates the pinball table with bumpers, drop targets, ramps, etc..
Visual effects are important in Pataank with walls showing the video-action, intense graphics and fast animation. The soundtrack is so great that the company, PF.Magic released an audio CD called "Torcano" with nine different soundtracks from the game.
Pataank features three pinballs with names like Surf's Up, Disaster and Tunnel of Luv. You can also play the Meta Game that will walk you through the three levels of the game, but personally, I think it would have been better to include a greater number of tables.
If you want to play with your friends, Pataank allows up to four players to compete. The first-person view given by the game is fast and furious, and when you bump into something, you really feel like the ball.
Pataank is an original game that is not only addictive for pinball fans, but also for every gamer in search of wild action.
OVERALL RATING ***1/2
