I love pinball. I know I'll be buying this. I wonder if they'll use the sixaxis controls, and allow you to shake pinball machine.

I think it was Space Pinball 3D or something. I just wish they ported it over to Vista. I had so much fun playing that.

Nah, Cruis'n USA was part of an arcade and console racing series that also included Cruis'n World and Cruis'n Exotica. Sorry, I'm not sure what other pinball game you're thinking of.

'Enhanced' Trailer

(it's just a normal trailer!)

Septimus Prime · 04-15-2009, 12:45 AM

Unless this is ridiculously expensive, I'll be getting this. I love virtual pinball (I've always sucked at real pinball, though).

Cruisin' USA was a racing game. Hence "cruisin"

They should bundle it with Cruis'n World and Cruis'n Exotica.

Lucy Diamond · 05-12-2009, 05:31 PM

Duuuuuuuuuuuude!!!

I'm so there.

PSN usually releases new games around 8pm by me so I have to wait it out.

Can't wait though.

Chris60119 · 05-12-2009, 05:50 PM

jeabombers · 04-25-2009, 02:17 AM

Is it anything near as good as Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies, or Pinball Illusions? I sure wish those three would have been released on the PC.... I don't know how to use an Amiga well enough to run an emulator on the PC so that I can play those ever-precious games....
