Just like at the arcade
My husband and I used to spend our evenings at the local arcade back in the late 80's when we first got married. As a young military couple, we had no money and lived in a small town with little entertainment. We could take a roll of quarters to the arcade and spend a few hours playing pinball. This game brought back so many memories of those "good ole' days". The machines are so life like! We were both impressed with how it reacts and all of the features that are just like the originals. My dad (also a pinball junkie,) purchased his own Wii system just to have this game. He figured that it was cheaper and took up less space than even one pinball machine.
If you loved the pinball of old, this game is a MUST! I just wish some of ... Read More
please don't tell me there's a better pinball game
Because I would not believe you after playing this game. It is an absolutely stunning game in regards to the visuals (via the Wii HD Link Component Cable) that are beautiful, great sounds with hilarious soundbytes and a overall gameplay that makes fantastic use of the wii-mote and numbchuck. Definitely pick this one up as it's cheap and brutally fun to play. Adventure Mode is even a blast, getting through all ten levels can take a bit but is very doable. Enjoy!
Must-have game if you vaguely enjoy pinball
I can't overstate how much fun this game has been for me. Williams Pinball Hall of Fame has seen more hours of play on my Wii than any other game. These ten nearly perfect reconstructions of real pinball machines combined with the Wii controllers are well worth the cost of this game. Although I haven't played this game on any other game system, I can't image the controllers on the PS3 or Xbox 360 can live up to the Wii experience with this game.
Re-playability +
This game is like owning 10 full size pinball machines packed into a tiny CD. I guess that "bag of holding" in D&D, growing up wasn't too far from mythical.... I own the wii version Yeaee wii!
Back to the 80's
If you enjoyed pinball in the 80's (probably the 70's and 90's as well) I think you will love this game.
Having played some of the tables years ago, this is the most 'real' feeling pinball simulation we've played. They took good advantage of the wii controllers, and using them to simulate hitting the table works great.
Maybe some of the tables dont tilt as easily as they do in real life.
The 'challenge' mode is fun in that it brings another level of a game/challenge aside from just individual tables. I wouldn't mind more things like that.
The 'view' can take some getting used to - there are a few settings, we prefer 'smart cam 1'. You can find pictures of actual tables on line, which can be helpful. ... Read More
