5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for pinball fans
"Sonic Spinball" is one of the best Sega Genesis games that I've got. I like all the Sonic games, and this one is definitely no exception. If you like pinball games, you'll like "Sonic Spinball" even better. It's a lot of fun and it puts what Sonic always has to do in with this game to make it a great game. You have to collect all the chaos...

3.0 out of 5 stars Sonic SpinBall - Sega Genesis
This game is good... if you get at least to the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor and up is where the REAL action is. That wasn't a good start, was it?

Sonic and Pinball make a good mix if you have beaten (or at least played) Sonic I, II, or III. In this game, unlike II and III, it's just yourself. Playing in advanced (the levels have WAY more than a regular pinball...

"Sonic Spinball" is one of the best Sega Genesis games that I've got. I like all the Sonic games, and this one is definitely no exception. If you like pinball games, you'll like "Sonic Spinball" even better. It's a lot of fun and it puts what Sonic always has to do in with this game to make it a great game. You have to collect all the chaos emeralds in each level and then defeat a boss in order to pass to the next level. On the way, you'll also need to collect as many rings as you can. The game's difficulty is well balanced even though once you get to the third level, it gets pretty hard.

In "Sonic Spinball," the graphics, sound, control, and pinball mechanics couldn't be much better. The bonus levels are a lot of fun and are some of the best I've ever played in any video game. Sonic is at the controls and you try to knock Dr. Robotnik's teeth out in one of them, and then make him tilt by making him eat the pinball. While playing it, you can make the pinball table shake, or tilt, to change the direction of the ball if it looks like it's not going to head for the flippers. There are also other cool bonus levels.

You'll actually feel like you're playing a real pinball game at the arcades at times while you're playing "Sonic Spinball." There's everything from a lava level to a sewage level to keep you entertained while you're trying to conquer Dr. Robotnik's evil ways. Dr. Robotnik takes the form of many different kinds of cool bosses that you'll have to face. He can be a spider in one level, and a bunch of faces staring at you in another level, and many others.

"Sonic Spinball" is one of the best pinball games I've ever played and I recommend it to anybody that likes Sonic games or great pinball games.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most awesome video game ever made!, January 7, 2004
This review is from: Sonic Spinball GEN (Video Game)
Sonic The Hedgehog gets my nod as the greatest video game series ever created. The first second and third games along with "Sonic and Knuckles" are the greatest video games I've ever played in my life on Sega Genesis.

However, Sega shattered new ground with a totally new twist on this franchise.

In "Sonic Spinball", the geniuses behind Sonic, blend in the adventures of the three regular game and turn it into a huge pinball frenzy with a highly addictive atmosphere in the levels.

Considering that I've been a pinball addict almost my whole life, "SOnic Spinball" was the game I played almost more than any other video game in my life. I can recall when I once played for over 12 hours straight one night! It's that addictive. I absolute love pinball and Sonic The Hedgehog and seeing them blend these two worlds together is phenomenal!

Just like the three sonic games before then, I really dig the background music and still find myself humming ot the music especially the second and final levels and I love the boss villain music that plays when you battle the evil Dr. Robotnik in the end.

"Sonic Spinball" is the greatest video game ever created and seeing this game die off (stopped functioning on my system due to age) was like a relative or friend dying. It was that good.

They should re-release this on a computer CD-Rom or for the next video game system in the near future.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Pinball games....EVER, May 15, 2002
This review is from: Sonic Spinball GEN (Video Game)
Sonic Spinball for the Sega Genesis is one of the best Sonic games out for the Genesis and the best game that my cousin has. If you are are Sonic fan or a Pinball fan you'll love Sonic Spinball. This game is very fun and it includes everything Sonic does in the other games. You collect all the emeralds and coins in each level and then defeat a boss at the end of the level.

Sonic Spinball includes great graphics, gameplay, sound and the Pinball mechanics are great especially for a 16-bit system. Sonic, being the Pinball makes this game very fun for Sonic fans. There are many awesome bonus levels and in some levels Dr. Robotnik's teeth pop out and try to eat the ball when you shoot it. The Pinball table even shakes, rattles, rumbles and tilts as the ball comes towards the flippers.

When you're playing Sonic Spinball you'll think you're actually in an arcade playing Pinball. There are many challenges you'll have to face in every level. Dr. Robotnik will take the shape of many different bosses that you will have to be like spiders. It is hard to believe that this is a game that is nearly 10 years old and for the Sega Genesis!

If you are looking for one of the best Pinball games ever, I recommend Sonic Spinball to anyone that likes Sonic or pinball games.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sonic Spinball is good but not great, January 27, 2001

Sonic Spinball is a good game but it could be better. The graphics and sound are great but the gameplay is pretty boring at the begining. The game gets better at the second level. It gets harder and more exiting. The bonus levels are great too. There are like three or four of them. I think the last level is the best because you get to burst Dr. Robotnics bubble, litterally!!

This game is good... if you get at least to the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor and up is where the REAL action is. That wasn't a good start, was it?

Sonic and Pinball make a good mix if you have beaten (or at least played) Sonic I, II, or III. In this game, unlike II and III, it's just yourself. Playing in advanced (the levels have WAY more than a regular pinball table) pinball, through the levels, trying to get to the ULTIMATE level - the one between you and (yes, as in all games) THE EVIL DR. ROBOTNICK!!!

Remember how I said it's just by yourself? Well I lied - no, I half-lied. You see, all your friends (not just Knuckles and Tails - all your friends from the comics too!) come out in the bonus stage, but they don't actually HELP you. And - wait, play the game to find out when the bonus stages come!
