Check Mate is an interesting game from Recel (Spain).
The Pros:
An asymmetrical layout with lots (14) of drops to shoot for. The art package is good and I get the idea that the man in the suit on the BG feels like he didn't play enough pinball and because of that, his life has been wasted. It looks like there is a double bonus on this game, there is not. Just 8 lights for the upper 8 drops and 8 lights for the 6 lower drops, the center standup and the difficult to score lane at the top. Shoot the drops!
The Cons:
Other than the drops, not much to shoot for. The upper PF, other than the 8 bank of drops is wasted space. Finding one is not easy.
The Takeawway:
Play it and enjoy it for what it is. For some reason this game just doesn't feel finished in gameplay. I'll have to find another and see if my opinion changes.
Update:
My opinion stands.
