Brief outline of the game
Star Wars Pinball offers a wide variety of Star Wars themed pinball tables in which the player can can relive some of the most iconic moments of the movies and watch 3D animated characters interact with each other, all while striving to get to the top of the leaderboards.
Content specific issues
This game mixes typical pinball activity plus 1st person full screen mini-games and fully animated Star Wars characters that populate the periphery of a pinball table and act out relevant famous scenes from the original movies, in response to the pinball gaming ability of the player. These events provide the great majority of the rateable violence and include the use of explosive devices and light sabres. Explosions will cause an exaggerated reaction from the ‘victim’ who will be flung some considerable distance from the seat of the explosion; light sabres do not cause any visible physical damage to a character and responses are minimal. The 1st person mini-games draw upon iconic incidents from the movies such as the ‘Speeder’ race in the woods on the moon of Endor, the player chases an Imperial Trooper and shoots laser blasts at the vehicle, which when hit falters and rolls over causing the rider to fall off and bounce, rag doll fashion, along the path but shows no ill effects.
