[QUOTE="francis247uk, post: 16255, member: 820"] Pinball Arcade is my favourite game right now and Farsight have done an outstanding job with the pinball tables and gameplay side, and getting me interested in the pinball community in general. However for me the one area of TPA which I feel needs work is the interface. I'm interested to see if other players are happy with the interface as is, happy if it was tweaked slightly, or like myself believe it is due a complete overhaul. I own the iOS version with all Tables and the 360 version, below is a quick list of issues I feel are evident across both systems: Swirly background - why? Whilst browsing which table to select the music changes to match, can see why but a bit annoying When selecting a table a sound effect taken from that table is played eg "It's Alive!" from Monsters Bash, this is annoying after literally the 2nd time of hearing it, and could be skipped altogether, just want to get to the table and pinball quicker! Whilst loading tables the swirly background and music stops, ok for people who are used to it but for new people it looks like the game has crashed, I don't think anyone would be too bothered if the swirly background/music was removed completely Menu sound effect is annoying, what is it meant to be exactly? Its especially annoying when inputting initials on tables Why have a whole screen when selecting what table to play, why not have a nice clean high res list instead? The whole idea of pressing the pinball start button to select a table in the menu seems gimmicky, you do that when playing the game anyway, so it's not necessary in the main menu as well Flyers seem very low res and not pretty to look at, almost seem like an after thought Table Details could be expanded upon massively, why is there not a link to the ipdb's specific table page, official youtube promo videos etc iOS only - When downloading tables every month it always defaults to the Arabian Nights music and swirly background for some reason, as we have to redownload the maps every month could this just be changed to a simple loading bar eg no gimmicky swirly background or Arabian Nights music? iOS only - Already mentioned on other threads but purple Solar System carpet - why???
