I grabbed the Lite version of this for free and I am glad that I did. Of the games I have tried this was among the least enjoyable.

Please don’t get me wrong- the game is well designed and I appreciated the inclusion of Pachinko’s history as part of the Information screen. While I did not find anything "problematic" about the game, I also did not find anything about it that drew me in and made me want to keep playing, let alone actually buy the ful version.

One specific issueI can point toward is the use of the accelerometer. While the game does use it, I did not find it to be nearly as responsive to movement as many of the other games I have tried.

In all, my recomendation is this- download the Lite version. If you like it you can always buy the full app. If, however, you are like me, you can just remove it and have lost nothing along the way.

 

Quick Take

Value:  For me- low. I didn;t like the game.
Would I Buy Again: No
Learning Curve: Low
Who is it for: Not me but perhaps you
What I like: The inclusion of a Lite version so I could try it first
What I Don’t: The game just wasn’t for me 

Final Statement: Again, since something like this is largely subjective when the app is actually well-built, I would encourage you to try the Lite version for yourself.

Read the Developer's Notes:
Pachinko Puzzle is an addicting ball-dropping game for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
