Review: I feel ‘Tropical Air Hockey’ is going to divide people opinions. On the one hand, it has a cutesy arcade look and feel about it that tries to keep things fun and simple, but those wanting a more serious simulation of Air Hockey will find it little more than a joke. I am in the former camp and personally, I loved playing this, especially the Pinball mode, but to be fair most the game modes are fun. Sure there are some bugs and annoyances, but overall I felt I got my money’s worth here. Its probably not something Iw ould play over and over as there is no multiplayer modes, but I am happy to recommend it to people.
