Description official descriptions
Extreme Pinball is Epic Megagames' successor to Epic Pinball. It contains four pinball tables: Rock Fantasy, Medieval Knights, Urban Chaos, and Monkey Mayhem, each with a different theme. Compared to Epic Pinball, it has a larger, 320x400 resolution, as well as taller tables, both allowing for more objects. It also has a typical Dot Matrix Display where the scoreboard shows 3D-rendered animations as well. The controls are more sensitive with a faster ball. This is less true to real pinball gameplay, but it speeds up the game's pace and gives more power to the player to influence the movement.

The Good
This game has the smoothest pinball engine I've ever seen! It's damn fast. The graphics are AMAZING and the music isn't that bad. The tables are very well done and the game does have a lot of potential.
The Bad
The game is just TOO GODDAMN FAST! I can barely see the ball, let alone control it. It ruins the game, because it's quite impossible to figure out what's going on on the table at any given time.
Also, the menu system is HORRIBLE - where'd the cute Epic Pinball menu system (miniature table images included) go?
And, finally, the music player is the typically horrible Epic PSM player -- really, really low quality play of probably very high quality music. It's bizarre, because it is a far cry from the player used in the original Epic Pinball, which was very high quality.
The Bottom Line
A really good pinball game, rendered pointless by overly fast gameplay.

The Good
It had original themes and killed time.
The Bad
There's nothing really unique or extreme about it. It's just a pinball game and nothing more.
The Bottom Line
It's just a normal pinball game. Buy it if you want to do nothing exciting at all.

This is a cool game. Easy to play. Great CGI graphics.
The Good
The animated scoreboard is 100% accurate to the style on the best tables. The music rocks. The CGI animation is cool. Something I continue to play almost on a daily basis
The Bad
Multi ball really stinks. It only focuses on the main ball and if you lose that it forgets to switch focus to the ball in play.
The Bottom Line
One of the top pinball games for the PC.
