Videogame Review, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for the Playstation 4 (Stern Pinball arcade)

Videogame Review, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for the Playstation 4 (Stern Pinball arcade)


The pinball game is a contradiction in terms.  No video games existed in the days of ancient religion and even recent centuries don’t provide us with literature about video games.  In fact, a traditional religion would probably say, “Do not give us the doctor.  Our sick man needs the spirit for the future!”  So, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a modern invention about the original, religious philosophy of Frankenstein and actually goes off the deep end with loud bursts of music, extreme colors, and irrational moves.  A pinball is the silver thing you see floating around the map.  You get a map for the course, with highlights and saturated labels; and, you get the partial movement of real pinball gaming.  Notice the map.  The background, or, the table itself, has labels with saturation for fancy.  The game can seem so attractive when you first turn on the machine!  With the lengthy, digital instruction booklet, there’s at least the theory of habit for gaming.  But, it’s hard to tell.  You get a variety of colors and shapes on the map and you must rely on the distance between the numbers and lines.  Maybe tactical feedback with the PS4 buttons could’ve been a better improvement of ergonomics.  It’s difficult to tell.  I do like a game with guts and glory.  For Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein I have much to disagree on.  Should “color” really be considered a “concept” as such?  I don’t find it in my full heart to agree.  By nature, humans assume that the “colors” can mean something really special.  You never see “orange grapes” on a tree, right?  So, there’s naturally some mild disagreement with the Frankenstein monster himself.  His arms are too short!  He looks like a puppet.  And, you also hear bubbles.  Is the Frankenstein monster taking a bubble bath?!  I don’t think that makes sense for such a terrible, awful monster.  You can hear his high-pitched scream!  I do like playing with multiple pinballs.  Please listen to my argument with respect or I may have to destroy you.  I think this “classic” pinball game is too easy.  How do I know that?  Well, I do play the game fairly well.  But if you look at the online leaderboards you notice that too many players have extremely high scores.  There’s really no true “Number One” player.  I feel quite disgusted about all this.  At least Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is more of an honest product than very realistic 1st-person shooters.  That includes Halo, Call of Duty, and more.  There’s something funny about seeing a weird-looking monster throwing my pinballs during that bonus round of heat and tension.  Some icons in the background are hard to read; and, many of those “sweet spots” are more like bitter periods.  The controls are decent although I find the left thumbstick hard to reach.  With reading literature from the instruction manual it’s obvious that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein takes a lot of any personal habit of gaming for it.  We have thousands, and thousands, and thousands of high scores.  Most pinball games are not violent.  However, pinball games are very suggestive for lights-to-lights abstraction.  Unfortunately, the “low taste” for Sega’s production of video games is actually Sonic the Hedgehog.  If Sega fans want to know more games and more video game characters, they will need to play some pinball games.
