 Not as Good July 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If given the choice, I would take the Williams collection over this one. For the most part, these were very plain game tables, with only a couple of really good ones. There are only 7 games, as opposed to the Williams 8. The two main reasons I like the Williams better is the choice of camera angles, and the rumble feature which makes playing the game seem more realistic. This is a fun, though a bit pedestrian effort. Go with the Williams if you have to choose one.

This was an inexpensive and enjoyable family game. Easy to play for all ages and even a little addictive for it's scoring.

If you ever played pinball and enjoyed it, then there's good chance you'll appreciate what this game has to offer. Which is virtual pinball, classic tables, and no coins! (that's the best part)
Pinball Hall Of Fame March 12, 2007
Pinball Hall Of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection for Playstation 2 is a neat collection of classic Gottlieb pinball games, brought to you by Crave Entertainment: "Ace High" (1957), "Central Park" (1966), "Big Shot" (1974), "Genie" (1979), "Black Hole" (1981), "Victory" (1987) and "Tee'd Off" (1993). You begin by selecting your pinball game in a virtual retro gameroom. Once you get the high score on any game, you may begin saving your data on a PS2 memory card.
In my opinion, all the games were ported nicely - not bad for a home version for your TV. Each game has voice/text tutorials and game history, a huge scan of the original ad flier to view, among other little features. The flipper controls are easy to use, and you can easily change camera angles during gameplay if you want. Those looking for many of the sounds and music from the original machines will be pleased with this collection as well.
As you meet specific goals set for a few of the games (such as accumulating a certain number of credits/replays on a game), you'll unlock some extras in the gameroom you previously couldn't access: "Xolten" the fortune teller, a "love meter", a video tour of the Gottlieb factory, custom pinballs to use in future games, a tournament mode, and some other cool additions.
For the price I paid ($5 brand new), I really can't complain, as it has tons of replay value if you're into pinball games. There is a big difference between the real thing and the games on this collection though, so hardcore pinball gamers might not care for it. Too bad that Q*Bert (a Gottlieb arcade classic from the early 80's) is in the gameroom, but is unfortunately unplayable - just there for the "ambience" I guess. That would have been a fun unlockable, as it's one of my most favorite 80's coin-op's.
Overall, PHOF is a fun game that belongs in your PS2 collection. No plots or storylines, just classic arcade fun.
Fun, but there's a couple things that bug me. February 12, 2007

Maybe it's just me becuase I didn't see anyone else comment about it; The ball seems to not last very long in this game in a turn, I mean when I Play the actual pinball machine I can keep it going forever but in this game it seems to always find some way to slip by. ALSO, I didn't notice anyone comment about this either but I played this game from brand new and no scratches, in 'Black Hole' when the ball falls from the right side to the bottom, it's like the game doesnt know that It fell, and a new ball should come. I kept tilting it for 3 minits and it never read it to start a new ball. And it does this every time it falls over there, so 'Black Hole' is just not an option for me though it looks cool. I like the different camera angles I can choose from and the different choices of games to play. and that I can choose my own style ball, that's always fun. I did buy this game in a 3 pac for $10 at Sears so I don't have room to complain too much about the things I don't like. I'd have to say if you're getting this for $3.35 like I did instead of this $15 on Amazon, it's worth getting.
