Very peculiar game that's really half pinball, half bowler (alright, 3/4ths bowler). The main problem is there isn't much to look at, from the playfield layout to the playfield art, or lack there of. Most of the time your ball is hidden under the upper level, doing something, and that's not very exciting once the novelty wears off. Amazing backglass. A lot of hit and miss here. Creative, unique idea that's not very fun to play after a short while.

This is a great game to have in a collection of a few games or more. It's interesting to everyone because it is so different! The ball is not a normal sized pinball... it's smaller. Also, you can't see where the ball is most of the time, but you can anticipate where it will appear based upon the ball rolling sounds and the billiard balls that are hit. It's fun!

Hi-Score Pool isn't really a pinball game. It is a modifed bowler game that uses a similar mechanism that mini bowlers/ puck bowlers do. It works pretty well.

The Pros:
This game is fun. A simple take with a novel twist makes this table a great game to compete with friend. Completing a rack without losing a ball is a real challenge. Lighting up all the billiard balls reaches deep somewhere inside of you and says: "Yeah!!!!"

The Cons:
The Art pax is meh. No art at all on the PF, really?

The Takaway:
This is a fun game. It will probably do well in a larger collection and should be put right next to the bar for friendly bragging and wagering. Play one if you can, if only for the novelty of saying you played it. I'd also recommend that you play it with a friend.

Update:
This is a great game to have at a pinball party. Lots and lots of fun. Is it what most people would call "pinball"? Probably not. But this game is a hoot to play and share with friends!

I played JoNoGo's awhile back, and I really enjoyed it. It's simple, mindless fun that is a nice collection piece. It wouldn't be a lot of fun being the only game in your collection, but in a bigger collection, it adds a nice variety in terms of game play.

This game is simple and a lot of fun with 2 players or alone. Its so simple you don't have to worry about any rules, just kick back, have a beer and knock out some balls.
