- The pinball

This pinball is good, it's the follower to Fantasies and Dreams, the music is very good. The tables a bit funny. The Vikings table is really funny if you are from Sweden, the song there is ...nah... One of the better tables is the futuristic one with the police as theme. You get to bust criminals, shoot snipers, control riots (multiball). It's a table that's rather funny too play, but the feeling... One thing to mark is that the ball doesn't seem to roll over the table, just move over it. But the thing I love with the game is that the scoreboard is so small, but very lively, and helpful. First time I played it I thought the feeling was "totally lousy", when I think back and have played more pinballs I realize that the game wasn't that bad.


- The tables

- Vikings

This is the table that was not released when the game itself first was released on the Amiga. The reason it was excluded was that the programmers thought it was so bad, but now on the PC version of the game all fours tables are there. The table is actually kind a fun to play, the music might be bad. If you do play it for a while you might understand why It was taken away since it has its strange bits. It's very keen on Vikings, and their time of exploring.

- Law'n'Justice

The absolute best table. Great fun busting criminals stopping the riots. In all this table is highscoring. You easily get much point which gives you a nice feeling, and this table really last because you keep playing it. The layout is very good and the theme is mode based with lots of challenging missions for you to fulfill.

- Babewatch

Baywatch?? Well lots of surfing and life guarding, good table. Good layout as in all of DI's tables.

- Extreme Sports

Like it says, Extreme Sports, nice table...


- The feeling

The feeling is not the best, its good but the backhandshoot is to sensitive which makes the ball control hard. You learn how to shoot the ball, but you more learn how to control the mistakes in the ball handle than how to really shoot. In Pinball Fantasies the game before Illusions you learn how to control the ball and how to use it good since there where no mistakes done in the programming of the ball, here the ball handle is not as good but still is ok.


- The whole

A good game with great layout and themes, most games have boring layout this games layout are good. Even though I don't like the feeling in the tables this is a pinball that is worth recommending because of its high enjoyability and it is from DI.
