 Great game. Needs a little more space to keep up with the flippers May 19, 2008

The game is excellent. It reminds you of the old days when you use to go to an arcade and play. Reliving my youth.
 Go with Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams instead May 18, 2008

Surprisingly bad pinball game; I have nothing against original layouts, but these are quite poor with no flow and way too many flippers. Physics is not horrible but flipper "animation" is non-existent. The camera tracking is awful leading to drained balls because the camera couldn't pan down to the flippers fast enough. Try the far superior Pinball Hall of Fame : The Williams Collection instead.

This is a $20 game, so remember that. A $20 game is not usually as good as a $50 game. This proves the theory. You have six tables for $20 so that sounds like a bargain, but sadly the joke is on us. I WISH I had waited for other reviews before spending my own $20 on this game but sadly I didn't.
The game had potential, but it just fails.
The tables are hard to see and the camera is so slow sometimes if the ball rapidly moves from the top to the bottom of the table, the camera doesn't catch up in time for you to see where it is, so if you don't react with an instinctive flipper press, you could just lose the ball because you couldn't see the bottom of the table in time.
They tried to create a "realistic" effect by adding a reflection of the back glass onto the surface of the pinball machine, but it is just distracting. Some of the flippers are so hidden you can't even see where they are until you activate them. The sound effects are annoying and repetitive (I know it's pinball, but still) and the amount of free balls I got in one game was insane and I wasn't even trying that hard.
I only gave it two stars instead of one because this wasn't a full priced game, so for $20 it has a little value. But once you play for more than an hour total, you will be about ready to get rid of this trainwreck. It had potential, but it falls far short.
Stay away and like others said, get the Williams Pinball game for a much better time!

We purchased this over the past weekend, and played it on our 42" tv with no issues. The graphics are intense, and the flashing lights can be distracting.
However - you can turn down the 'bells & whistles' so it is easier on the eyes. Also, we have the Wii HD Pro Component Cable and this seems to make a significant difference in the video. (not just on Dream Pinball, but all of our Wii games!)
We spent several enjoyable hours playing.

I'll be brief.
The physics are wonky - the flippers feel like that old Space Cadet game that came free with Windows.
The smart cam is nauseating...and you lose balls because half the time the smart cam can't keep up. Full table view is an option but then you can't really tell what you're doing because the tables are busy and the graphics are muddy.
Table layouts are completely uninspired.
If you want an EXCELLENT pinball for the Wii get Williams Pinball Hall of Fame.
