I wanted to like Roxy Raccoon’s Pinball Panic. A story-based pinball game sounds kind of cool. The issue is, other, better, Pinball games exist; Pinball FX3 and Zaccaria Pinball, to be exact. The tables you have to play on are simple and not very interesting, and I played on more than one. They lack the bell and whistles of those other tables, and lack complexity. Let me show you:

This table is what you see is what you get. The table is spartan and fairly straightforward. Granted, it bares a resemblance to the older Zaccaria tables, but that’s the point, the genre has moved on, Roxy Raccoon’s Pinball Panic has not. Sure there’s a story about a witch trying to destroy the world and the raccoon standing up to her, but its just window dressing for severe boredom. To be fair, there are a lot of tables and modes, including a side mode with special tables like skeeball or “Pinchinko”, but its simply not enough to hold my attention.

But what really sinks Roxy Raccoon’s Pinball Panic is the slightly delay in pressing the flipper buttons and the flipper flipping. I lost a lot of balls because the flipper didn’t flip fast enough. But even without it, the tables aren’t interesting and the whole thing lacks a coat of polish that is necessary in today’s ePinball. I just can’t recommend this. It was a valiant effort, but required a few more months in the oven. Roxy Raccoon’s Pinball Panic gets a Not Recommended verdict with a four back-end score.

Overall: Roxy Raccoon’s Pinball Panic is an ambitious story-based pinball game, except the pinball is stuck in the past and the whole thing lacks polish.

Verdict: Not Recommended

You will buy Pretty Girls Escape Plus for one reason, and one reason only, so let me spoil it:

Now that we have that out of the way, Pretty Girls Escape Plus is the sequel to Pretty Girls Escape, which I reviewed a long time ago and is pretty much the same game: You have the waifu blocks at the top(from one to three), and must get rid of the blocks below them to lower them down to the exits. You can only remove regular blocks in chains of two or more. You can shift blocks left and right if there is space to do, and everything moves. If there’s no blocks to stop the waifu block, it will go from one edge to the other(and probably require a restart). The main difference between the two games is that here there are 10 lovely waifus instead of 8, for even more puzzling fun!

The puzzles in Pretty Girls Escape Plus get a lot harder a lot faster than the did in its predecessor, which is not a bad thing. Though you’ll still blow through all 60 puzzles quickly. Getting the optional missions on each stage make take some more time. Plus there are also 20 challenge puzzles. Honestly, there’s not much more to say, this is simply more of the same good puzzling action as before. But like all pretty girls games, the real draw are the boobs in the dressing room. The original got a YMMV. This will get a Recommended with a seven back-end score. I’ve come to terms with what these games are, and I’m ok with that now.

Overall: Pretty Girls Escape Plus has good puzzling action, but like always, its about the boobs.

Verdict: Recommended

I have warmed up to the Pretty Girls series over the years, first being negative and then over time warming to them. I realized I love anime boobs, and as an anime boobs lover, I came to love the series. I own all three Pretty Girls collections, which brings the nudity. Well, there has been a 9 month gap in Pretty Girls titles, and one has finally showed up, Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire PLUS. It is the sequel to Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire. Well, the game play hasn’t changed at all. It’s Klondike Solitaire, it comes free with Windows. You know what you are getting here. The reason you want this game isn’t the solitaire, there’s plenty of those games. You want Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire PLUS for the giant boobs, and yes, it has plenty of giant boobs.

You have eleven lovely ladies with giant hooters to choose from in Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire PLUS. Each lady has 3 difficulty levels. Beat a level, it unlocks something for the dressing room. Easy unlocks the outfit they are wearing for the dressing room. Medium unlocks the background they are in. Hard unlocks them in a bathing suit. New to the series is the fact you can have multiple ladies in the dressing room at once, as seen below. They don’t interact with each other, but at least the series is moving forward in one respect.

In the end, with Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire PLUS, you know exactly what you are getting with this title and why you are buying it. You want to see giant anime boobs, well you get giant anime boobs. The Klondike Solitaire is just game play to justify the title’s existence. It’s fine for what it is and so it’ll get a Recommended with an 7 back-end score. If for just want Klondike, there’s 1000 other titles for you. If you want Klondike with boobs, you go with this.

Overall: Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire PLUS is Klondike Solitaire with anime girls with giant hooters. You know why you’re getting this.

Verdict: Recommended
