 Getcherself a hot dawg! October 24, 2008
Okay, I will admit that I mostly bought this game just to have the chance to play "Funhouse" again. I'm pleased to say the Wii version is a surprisingly good representation of its three-dimensional namesake! It plays like the real game, and the sound is just as good as you would get in a boardwalk arcade.
I also really enjoyed seeing Whirlwind and Pinbot again too. I spent many, many hours (and quarters) playing both of those back in the day.
My only negative feeling on this title was that I wish there were more "good" tables included. Some of them have a cute nostalgic quality, but the oldest ones are actually kind of boring. I like that there are goals that are unlockable, but I wish you could unlock more games or features too.
But you can't beat it for the price! I got this title on sale, and it was actually completely worth the under $15 I paid, just for the few games I really liked.
I can only hope they come out with a product that includes "Bride of Pinbot" next!
 Incredibly lifelike, great game selection, extras the only thing lacking October 24, 2008
My husband and I played pinball on our first date---we both were huge fans from childhood. Now it's harder and harder to find "real" pinball machines out there, but games like this ease the pain a lot!
This game is incredibly lifelike! You can really almost forget you are not at an arcade. The physics, the background sounds, the camera angles---all top notch! The games are very well selected. Funhouse is probably my husband's favorite game of all time. He calls it Rudy Hits, as anyone who has played it will understand. It was really a dream come true for him to have it at home to play any time! We also love Whirlwind and Pinbot. Black Knight was always a game he loved to hate, so that has a place too! A few of the older games are fun as novelties mostly, but still well done.
I just wish there was more extras here. The tournament mode is a little lame, and it would be fun to get more of a reward for a high score. That's always been one of the best parts of pinball---getting a free game for high scores. It makes it feel like you are really getting something. Here, you do get a token for a free game, but since after a bit most of the games have unlimited play, it doesn't feel like much. It would be neat if there were games you could unlock, or maybe even some sort of minigames you could get. Most video games have something like that now, and I guess I have gotten addicted to it.
However, I would absolutely, 100% recommend this game to pinball fans!
 Fun for the first few hours October 24, 2008

Not a bad game, and it was cheap when I bought it. I would have like to have seen more games overall. Set up arcade style, where multiplayer mode is just taking turns.
Great pinball game for adults and children October 24, 2008
This game brought me back to my childhood. One of the first pinball games I enjoyed was Black Knight, and this is one of 10 pinball tables emulated. My particular favorites are space shuttle, black knight, whirlwind and fun house. My 3 year old and 5 year old kids picked this up very quickly and enjoy playing the game. That doesn't mean it's a kids game, it's a very accurate and realistic Pinball game that you will certainly enjoy.
Awesome game.... October 24, 2008
I purchased this game because it was a good deal in the Gold box. I have to say that I wasn't expecting too much from this but it is AWESOME....really good..at first glance you wouldn't think much but it has challenges that really get you addicted....I had no idea pinball could be so much fun. I guess I have never owned a good pinball game, like this one. Definitely worth buying for the money, you won't be sorry. Also I would recommend this game for young kids too as the controls are quite easy, and geared towards boys.
