Played over two screens, the idea of the game is like any other pinball game to score as many points as possible before you lose your ball. YYuNintendo DS Game Guide

In an attempt to make it more exciting, Nintendo has included its Rumble Pak, which plugs into the secondary expansion slot. Activating when the pinball hits a bumper or when enemies attack the end result isn't going to rock your world. YYuNintendo DS Game Guide

Most interesting is the wireless element to the game. Featuring a Wireless Mission, gamers can play up to seven other players using DS Download Play with a single game card. The idea is to hit targets to release Metroid enemies on opponents' tables similar to battle Tetris.

Not utilising the power of the DS enough, this is only for the serious pinball fan.YYuNintendo DS Game Guide
