Back to the 80'sNovember 10, 2008 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. Although the graphics are good/realistic - you just can't look at the table as you can in real life.
They've done such great work on this I hope it is a huge success so they will put out another game with more tables!
I think this is a great value.
Wow! Crave did a great job with this game.November 8, 2008 Great graphics. Good choice of tables. Excellent physics. This game is a bargain. It has displaced Smash Brothers at our house as the game to play. I hope Crave does more Wii pinball.

Very fun game. Just the sounds of these games brought back lots of memories of hanging out in the arcade.
This is real pinball!October 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Playing some of the earlier generation pinball machines (Jive Time especially) brought back the memories of wishing I had an endless supply of quarters. Now that my wish has come true, I can say I never get tired of playing! It's so addictive and so close to the real thing, I can only attempt to describe how real it is.
The ability to bump the table using the controllers is absolutely essential to getting the score you need to unlock the other tables. I love all the machines with their classic sounds and action. Jive Time is such a brutally simple and difficult machine to master, with its primitive bumpers and lack of sound effects - brings me back to the days of losing my allowance to these machines.
Finally a game I can beat my kids at, having years of pinball experience, they have a lot of catching up to do to be dear old dad.
Best of the Best for all Pinball formatsOctober 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not only is this the best of the best for every single Pinball variety game that I have played, this is also my favorite game for the Wii. Endless hours of fun and entertainment.
