    PROS: 1. Realistic tables and physics. 2. Nice high score tracking system. 3. There's no other xbox game like it. 4. All 4 tables are fun. CONS: 1. It seriously could have used a custom soundtrack. 2. The hot girls on the cover are just to lure people in and have nothing to do with the game. 3. It feels bare bones; it could have used some extra features or options.

    Extremely fun pinball game! It does have only 4 tables but still great fun.

    Hands-down the best video pinball game ever. The only thing keeping it from a perfect 10 is its lack of tables. The 4 tables here are all great, but I expected at least double that many. Now, if Iridon could license real pinball tables for Pure Pinball 2... that would absolutely ROCK!

    Great game for what it is. But I agree with one of the last reviewers, if Pure Pinball 2 can license a few well known tables (KISS!), it would rock!

    It's physics are absolutely true to life, and its tilts - a propers smiting for too much cheating - are fairly issued. [June 2004, p.88]

    The triggers control the flippers, and the ball physics are outstanding - every hit feels like it has real weight. [Nov 2004, p.77]

    Although the game doesn't have too many bonus features and the different tables are similar in design, you still get 4 challenging and very realistic looking pinball tables at your disposal.
