Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

3.5?!?!

Not sure how you're arriving at that score since all of your rating bars are 80% or above, nor do I understand how Wild West Pinball, the previous and much less developed pinball app from the same company, got a higher score, but The Deep sets the standard for pinball realism on the iPhone, period. If you want silly and surreal, go for Monster Pinball. If you want beautiful and realistic, this is your pinball app.


Most realistic pinball game yet

I showed this to a neighbor who rents out pinball machines to bars and he was blown away by it. The closest thing to playing a real pinball machine.
