A Pinball Simulator At It's Finest!
So with that in mind let me tell you what I think of this game.
First it has a horrible trailer ( lead in movie segment)
but then it get's better and better. you will actually take a virtual walk through the arcade to play some these classic titles. when you walk up to a game you can click on an information tag and learn all about the machine before you play it and decide if you want to to go through the rules in which they sho you every hit and every catch so you can learn each angle to play and most inportantantly why you are making the shot in the first place.
Ok now that you have chosen one of the ten classics it's time to deposit that quarter and set the controls up. first thing to do is decide how many are going to play the game second are you going to compete in a tournament or a Williams challenge.
Get ready to plunge away, because here comes the fun part the wii controller and nunchuck act as a virtual table you hold in your hands as though you are playing pinball as you shake the table as in normal play or TILt as it has been coined you will actually see the table move on screen and the ball shake a bit to the left or right depending on the angle you shake your controls very cool indeed.
Ball movement is everything if the ball phisics stink the game is no fun at all and basically a waste of time and effort to play. But this game is right on the money all the physics are real all the bumpers play clean and the kickers and flippers are true to life except for the cheesy kicking sounds of the jet bumpers and flippers the games sounds are true to life including all the speech from the current ROM sets.
So how real is real? I have several real pinball tables in my house and I use to own three of the pins on this game Black Knight, Firepower, Whirlwind. I love this game I don't have these games any more but I have them again to play as much as I want to without the major upkeep that goes with pinball ownership. I cannot say enough about this game but I will put out a cry to the producers Please make another sequal 10 , 20 more great tables. I have seen almost every pinball made at some point.
I would love to play the older style classics that one can only dream of playing like High Speed, Getaway, Roadshow, just to name a few.
Pinball fans you Will Not be disappointed!!
It's video pinball and it's CHEAP FUN FUN FUN!!!!
