Still, overall, it’s the most fun pinball game I’ve experienced on a smart phone and I find myself going back to it on commutes and even just sitting at home. Easily avoidable, but still kind of off putting. Also, it is a bit gimmicky, linking you to the pages of the movies so you can buy the DVDs.
