  Fun, fantastic game for the entire family August 31, 2008
I bought this game mainly for myself and my 6 1/2 yr old son to play. Turns out, I like it more than he does! It is fun, fast and addictive. Love the choice of different machines to play on and the chance to unlock them and play in free mode. If I could change one thing it would be the delay between pressing the buttons and seeing the flippers move. Takes a little getting used to the adjustment time but once you do it si great fun. We have family tournaments and we each (5 of us but only 3 old enough to play right now but the others watch) have our own favorite table. Recommend to everyone who is looking for a good, clean, nonviolent video game that they can share with their kids, or for anyone looking to reminisce and enjoy a great game of pinball again.
Just like the arcade August 18, 2008
I have played a lot of pinball games since I was a kid both real and video games and this is the most fun and realistic bunch of games ever on a disc. There is a nice variety of games and everything feels like the real thing, from the flippers to the ball action, tilt and you name it. If you want some pinball fun get this game!
 A few shortcomings, but otherwise great. PS3 compatible, too! August 4, 2008
I couldn't even guess at how many quarters I dropped in to Taxi, Whirlwind, Funhouse, and Pinbot. Maybe a few hundred dollars worth? Maybe a thousand?
In any case, I spent enough time with those machines to know just about everything there was to learn. And apparently, so did the developers of this game. The sweet spots are all there, and the ball physics are surprisingly accurate for video pinball.
My only real gripe (and I'm sure I'm in the minority here) is that you can't get a really detailed view of the playing area. I'd really like to be able to look at these old tables in pristine condition once more.
Beyond that, this is a great game for anyone who enjoyed playing pinball in the late 80's / early 90's. Sure, there's no way you're going to fully replicate the pinball experience, but this is probably the best video pinball I've ever played.

If you ever miss-spent your youth in Video arcades in the 80's then this is the game for you!
Pinbot, Taxi, Fun House, Gorgar, Black Knight, Twister, Firepower,Space Shuttle, its all there.
