''Extreme Pinball'' received generally negative reviews. Reviewing the PlayStation version, Rich Leadbetter of ''Maximum'' commented that "the tables on offer in ''Extreme Pinball'' are just too dull. Take a look at the latest pinball tables and you see very flashy, licensed affairs with lashings of special effects and sampled sounds... all of which you won't find in ''Extreme Pinball''". He also criticized the prominent borders in the PAL conversion.<ref name="Max6">{{cite journal|last=Leadbetter |first=Rich |title=Maximum Reviews: Extreme Pinball|journal=Maximum: The Video Game Magazine|issue=6 |publisher=[[Emap International Limited]]|date=May 1996|page=122}}</ref> A brief review in ''[[GamePro]]'' stated "Neither as fast nor as polished as ''[[Digital Pinball: Last Gladiators|Last Gladiators]]'' for the Saturn, ''Extreme Pinball'' is strangely reminiscent of ''[[Ruiner Pinball]]'' for the [[Atari Jaguar|Jaguar]] or the old ''Time Cruise'' for the [[TurboGrafx-16]]. Not a lot of 32-bit technology went into this standard game, and not a lot of fun comes out of it".<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Quick Hits: Extreme Pinball|magazine=[[GamePro]]|issue=94|publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|date=July 1996|page=78}}</ref><br />
