Plays pretty much like real pinball, though it seems like the game is not as difficult as the real thing. Just as fun though.

Most fun I've had playing video games at home. I'm having so much fun, my 9 year old would rather watch me play than play himself. Although we have and he too enjoys it. Very realistic!!

Wow this takes me back!

This is a super fun game with several titles from my school days.

My only complaint is that it doesn't zoom in enough for you to really see what some of the different targets are. It's hard to remember everything on these games from 20 years ago!

I hope they do a 2nd one, and include some of their other pinball games!

This is a great pinball game. Its a lot of fun and very addictive. Just got to play one more game. I highly recommend this game. - Found it at target for $19.99. Now go get it.

This is as close to Real Pinball as you'll get in a Video game!!

If you love pinball, as I do, you will LOVE this game. Other reviewers knock the game for lost balls down the side gutters, etc. but if you play real pinball, you'll know that this does actually happen. All the time! The physics of this game are very true to pinball in real life. The graphics are great, and the camera follows the ball very well, keeping it in sight all the time.

The first copy I purchased, from a big box discounter, was buggy. I exchanged it for a different copy with no problem, and it works great. This happens sometimes, sometimes the disks don't burn right...no fault of the game or it's production company. If you end up with any kind of fuzzy picture, exchange it.

Plenty of good reviews had me buying this game, which I wanted mostly for 'Funhouse' anyway. Just like most of the other reviewers here! :) Anyway, I wasn't expecting much - after all, it's an video game conversion of a pinball machine and bound to be lax and nostalgic at best...

So I started playing.

Wow.

Just WOW!

The level of detail in camera angles, board details (the arrays of lights), the sounds (digitized from the original game), realistic physics, and reflective lights on the ball -- all are PHENOMENAL. Those who programmed this game went all out with even the smallest details and deserve every penny they earned when coding this game.

Then comes the Wiimote and Nunchuck - want to try to tilt the table? Nudge it the way you would an actual pinball table that wasn't bolted to the floor.

Of course, there's more to life than 'Funhouse' - most of these games are enjoyable, and seem true to their original pinball machine counterparts too.

If this was ever a $50 game reduced in price, put it back up to $50 - Williams Pinball Hall of Fame deserves to be at $50 when compared to some of the games out there that already cost $50 -- for those certainly aren't worth that price...

Brings back lots of memories - very realistic

While some of these games pre-date the pinball addiction of adolescence and are very basic games that were boring then, there are some fantastic games in this bundle; some I even forgot I loved since it was so long ago that I played them for hours on end.

Whirlwind, Taxi and Black Knight are the three best games on the disk. Those three alone make it worth the price of admission to this arcade. There are some other good ones and some that were pretty basic and boring back then and still are in digital form.

It would be great to see more pinball games available for the WII - Earthshaker, Cyclone (played virtually every day after school in high school!), Adam's Family, Who Dunnit, Rocky & Bullwinkle, World Cup Soccer, Elvira, Eight Ball Deluxe and there's got to be more.

Anyway, awesome disk and a steal at $20 so if you love old school pinball, don't hesitate to buy this!

Wow!

I got this game for the Wii with low expectations since I have seen other pinball games converted for the PC and was always disappointed with those prior versions. Once I received this game, I was blown away. This has been one of our favorite games.

I knew there were "real" pinball tables converted for this, but did not realize that one of my all-time favorites was in the package. I would play Pinbot for hours upon upon hours and when I saw it included, I jumped right to it.

The only con with this game is the inability to set the table view before releasing the ball. Other than that, if you enjoyed playing old school pinball, then I highly recommend this game.

Excellent buy

The game is an excellent buy for old pinball players. Numerous view options but none as good as visually perfect as having the table right in front of you. My game came with instruction written in French and was not able to get an English copy from the seller. Still the on screen instructions as to how the game should be played are the best I have ever seen or read. Cost per hour of play, incredibly cheap!
