Sonic Spinball is a pinball game designed around the Sonic franchise that has all the visual appeal and elements from the platform games. You use Sonic himself as the ball which gives you slightly more "in-flight" control over the "ball" than would be normal., even so control can be frustrating at times. This is one of these games you either love or hate I'm afraid so you'll have to try it yourself. (I used to be addicted to it on the Game Gear)
