One of the best pinball simulators I've seen.
I used to have Pinball Dreams for my Commodore Amiga back in the '90s. Back then, getting the pinball physics right was amazing!
It's still amazing that they can do it so well, and the controls for the Wii are perfect for playing pinball. I love seeing all the machines I remember from when I used to play in the arcades. Granted, I was horrible at pinball then, but the machines were fun anyway.
I'm not that much better at pinball today, but at least with this game, I'm not burning through real money to practice.
Game physics are spot-on, and the ability to pick whichever Smart Cam suits you is a nice touch. Plunger skill shots, jiggling the table by shaking the Wiimote or Nunchuck... everything is very intuitive.
Now if only they'd bring back Carn-evil for the Wii...

Quick Review: Great Video Pinball
Playing pinball as a video game may seem counter-intuitive and inherently dumb, but no more so than shooting deer or killing zombies with your Wii. This game does a dang good job recreating the look and feel of all the classic games included. The sights/sounds are spot-on and the ball tracking is really good. Yes, nothing beats real pinball. (And nothing beats slaying zombies in real life.) But as a pinball lover I can say this is pretty fun.

A fun Wii game
I bought this a couple weeks ago. It's a good game, with several different kinds of pinball. You "walk" around the arcade to pick the games you want to play. I wish there were more games on it but the ones that are there are pretty true to the actual playing experience. I played it a lot before my Wii Fit arrived, but now that I have that, I'm addicted to it and haven't played pinball so much. Overall, though, this is a good game.

This game is way too much fun!
I was very impressed at how real this pinball game seems. You feel the vibrations of the pinball machine in the controller, and, yes - you can TILT that darn thing. We were surprised at how much fun and challenging it is. You can play tournaments, or take the Williams Challenge and try to get high score on it's top 5 games. I would highly recommend this game for all ages.

Williams Edition: Pinball Collection
If you love pinball, you will absolutely LOVE this game. We play for hours in the evening for our relaxation. We have 31 million for a high on Funhouse, and unlocked the lockables. You can bang on the game and not tilt it anymore. Of course it took a long time but you can get there. It's great fun and you won't be disappointed if you purchase this game. Best fun we've had in a long time playing pinball!!!
