Harking back to the good old days of real-life pinball machines (oh, they do still exist, do they?) Little Mermaid: Pinball Frenzy is just as much fun as the bigger, heavier versions. With some superb bright graphics, fast-moving action and really addictive gameplay, it's easy to get yourself hooked pretty quickly.

By following the picturesque grid in the middle, you learn where you should be aiming your ball (you can aim in pinball?) and what extras you'll be getting for your troubles. The more you follow these little hints, the more fun you have, as cool little mini-games are revealed.

These mini-games give the game a lastability it might not otherwise have had, which can only be a good thing. This, along with the excellent sound effects - apart from the revolting hissing sound when you fire your ball - and good ball control make this lovely little novelty a real winner! A great little title for all fans of pinball, Ariel and her friends, and anyone who generally likes to play good games on their Game Boy!
