Hardcore Pinball, the third pinball title released on Game Boy Advance, is designed first and foremost to be a simulation, attempting to deliver authentic ball physics and such standard elements as bumpers, rails, spinners, kickers, and more. A total of four tables are included on this cartridge, each varying in theme and appearance: Soccer, RoboMech, Retro, and Station. Digitized music and sound effects help recreate the pinball experience as players do everything in their power to keep the ball in play and rack up a high score in the process.
