14 DAY TRIAL // Even though Nintendo's DS is said to be featuring the vastest library of games, who's to say how many are enough? In fact, I'd be surprised if fans DIDN'T ask for more. As such, Ignition Entertainment has just dated Flipper Critters for the DS. The game's launching next month on the 9th, offering a fun and engaging spin to 'traditional' pinball, as the official report goes.
Curious about the price, are we? Well, of course you are. Who wouldn't want cheap, engaging, portable... All right, all right: $14.99 is what it's worth. What do you say? It's just a little above the price of two Wii Shop Channel downloadable classics. Tell me the game isn't worth buying, even if it's half as exhilarating as they say it is, I dare you!
As the report... reports, players are transformed into characters Monkey and Tiger as they travel through the Flipper Critters fantasy world on a mission to fulfill their ultimate goal - saving their friend Bull - or so they think. The Critters progress though each subsequent area of the world by undertaking various challenges and deeds of heroism asked of them by their friends. Each quest takes the furry creatures to a "pinball table" landscaped by mountain valleys, towering castles and even includes a trip to the moon!
Official word coming from Vicki White, Director of Sales, Ignition Entertainment USA, says that the game is even more than what you've just read above: "It's more than just a pinball game," states Vicki White. Flipper Critters is a cute, challenging and addictive adventure game that happens to use flippers as your interface to move your characters within the world. You don't have to be a pinball wizard to enjoy this title, as anyone can play."
Flipper Critters is also said to not only use the handheld's dual screen to show off every aspect of the vibrant and colorful world gamers will be plunged into, but also to incorporate the touch screen to activate switches and ramps. Naturally, there's a Multi-Card play! option allowing you to challenge a friend.
Game's rated E for Everyone and launching October the 9th. You don't even have to save money for Flipper Critters, as $14.99 is the dream price point for every handheld owner out there. Now all that remains to be seen is whether the game plays 15 bucks worth, or not.
