On the flipside I'm loving Pinball (it's a timeless classic after all). I'm surprised they didn't release a pinball game ages ago.

i found the eets game massively irritating, fiddly, and binned it after 10mins

The problem with Eets Chowdown is that you can (at any time) hit start, choose solve puzzle, then hit right trigger and complete the level.

I noticed that option, it seems odd. I wonder if you can still get achievements that way, if so, it's crap.

I won't be using it anyway, but I can't imagine any reason to have it there!

I got sick of the game so switched my brain off and used the option. Helped me complete a few levels and yet, you do get the achievement. It might be somewhat of a hindrance for getting the achievements where you need to have items left over though...

As for that mini game. jeez. im gonna struggle to get 100,000, let alone 1,000,000 on that!

Me too, the demo was enough to tell me that, didn't even make it through all 8 levels - so, cheers MS for providing that and saving my points.

And that's the problem - some of the solutions are beyond rational due to the weirdness of it all - if it made more rational sense then there'd be no need to include it - clearly if the devs did include it they thought the same.

The Pinball game seemed better - but the table in the demo seemed woefully lacking in features compared to real tables to make it decent, seemed way too small - that stopped me purchasing despite the physics seeming pretty good.

I bought the full game of pinball. Thought it played really well. If it wasn't for Silvergun I'd be top of my friends list. He's too good at games for my own good!

Be thankful peeveen isn't on your friends list another couple of tables would have been nice, but hey prehaps the DLC will be free ..

Hehe ... I just got the #25 score in the world on the "Agents" table.

I love Pinball FX, it's ace! But I think the three 30-point achievements are going to be ROCK HARD.

[VR46]

I haven't got a clue where to start on most of the achievements, saw you had 85 points earlier, so if you feel like sharing any info, fire away

I don't find them irrational. I've made it through the first 48 levels of the game and I only needed a hint with one level (and not the full solution either, just the hint). Everything works within the logic of the game and once you click with that, it's great.

And although the game gives you official solution for each puzzle (which is included so a single puzzle doesn't completely stop your progress) the challenge is to complete the levels without using all the objects. Three of the achievements are geared towards this. The official solutions use every object, so there is still loads of challenge.

So, Forza2 demo today ???
