Pinball HD for Tegra 2 Android devices now available. Serious pinball eye candy.

One of the games that had it’s release date pushed back until May was Pinball HD. Originally set for an April release, a few more tweaks needed to be made before release but the waiting is finally over and Pinball HD is now available for Android devices packing the Tegra 2 chip.

Pinball Hd offers three tables currently with plenty of eye candy to enjoy while you play. Controls are simple, just tap the screen to make the paddles move. Left paddle you tap the left side of the screen, the right paddle on the right side of the screen.

Features:

  • 3 pinball tables with unique graphics, instructions, missions, locations and characters
  • Landscape mode shows a full table view. The games can be played in either landscape orientation with the button to the left or right of the screen.
  • Portrait mode gives you a flying-table view with the camera panning and zooming over the action.
  • A wonderful 3D engine.
  • Realistic physics.
  • Local and global high scores.
  • Unique soundtrack with atmospheric music, sound effects and voices.
  • Camera tilt brings dimensionality to the games offering a simulated 3D effect where the image changes depending upon how you tilt the device. Camera tilt only works in landscape mode.
  • Stereoscopic imaging option (requires anaglyph 3D glasses). You can choose between red-cyan, green-magenta or yellow-blue lenses.

Being a Tegra-optimized game, Pinball HD for Tegra brings the following enhancements:

  • Increased geometry complexity, afforded by Tegra, for a more realistic experience
  • Higher resolution textures for more striking visuals that stand out compared to non-Tegra powered devices

Having been playing this game for about two weeks in a pre-release version, it is probably one of the more impressive pinball games currently available for Android right now. Each table offers something different with one being more simplistic while the other one being complex with many ramps. The third is a nice mix of both extremes. You can pick Pinball HD off the Android Market or Tegra Zone right now for $2.99.

Expect a detailed review of Pinball HD to land later or tomorrow.
