There's a lot of fun to be had with this, despite the shortcomings. The main draw to this game is the unique spin, and the presentation. You'll bounce one of many different pinball designs at a big anime girl, and try to knock her over, usually leaving her in a position where you can get easy hits on her boobs or butt. As you can imagine, bouncing a ball off of a ninja girl's butt and seeing a big 100,000 point notification pop out retains a sense of satisfaction for many sessions. The other gadgets and events on the table are all also geared towards the same objective of making it easier to bop her, and eventually go into a minigame where the end result is damaging her outfit to make it more revealing, or getting her clothes wet. The final minigame is probably the most fun part of the game, and puts their butt or boobs right on the board, and jiggle them with the flippers directly. If that sounds entertaining, this game is for you. One of the only downsides to the game is that there's only two tables, but multiple versions of each (day, night, winter, fall, etc). You can also change the art of the table floor, adding more variety, in addition to the ball, and the girl's outfit and hairstyle. This helps a lot to alleviate the lack of choices of actual unique tables. It doesn't feel like the same thing each time, and you can even set the game to pick a random outfit for the girl. The other downside of the game is the physics. Most pinball games have simulated physics, to either feel real or stylized realism. This game feels a bit dated there, though. The ball doesn't seem to take the previous trajectory or velocity into account much when it hits a flipper. If you're here strictly for pinball, its going to feel like something from the 90s. The ball is also pretty slow moving, and easy to react to, which makes it more approachable to newcomers, but may feel weird for people that are more used to faster more realistic games. For the price, Peach Ball may seem not worthwhile, but for me personally my mind changed once I got to playing it. Its not perfect, but it's a wholly unique experience that puts a great twist on a classic game type -- one that you won't get anywhere else. Seriously, I can't overstate how fun it is to jiggle a catgirl's butt with pinball flippers and watch points rack up from it. Positives: + Everything looks great, and sounds great. With all the colors, cheery UI elements, and the lively girls, its a very fun game to look at. + A solid assortment of options to customize the table, ball, and look of the girls. + The challenges and variety of visuals come together effectively to make each run feel more unique and add a lot of replayability. Negatives: - Rigid physics, you'll make the same exact shot and watch the ball make the exact same line repeatedly. - Only two tables, hard to gloss over that at the game's current price tag. - Price maybe a bit high for what it offers. If you're not the kind of person that can dump hours into pinball and strive for high scores just for the sake of high scores, you'll want to wait for a sale.

theres no point in re-iterating the same problems that countless people have hilighted about this game. the biggest flaw it has is that beneath all the poor optimization and performance issues that make it difficult to enjoy the game, its still only mediocre. nothing about the game has matured since the original. its still the same snarky sarcastic characters, and writers that think non sequiturs are the absolute pinnacle of comedy. every character is still so annoying that nobody would touch this game if it wasn't one of the only good rpg shooters on the market. if you can force yourself to desensetize yourself to the input lag (on console) or garbage optimization (pc+console), you'll find its just more of the same. which is probably what we all expected, but honestly it doesnt feel worth it.
