 So Good It Made Me Get A Real Pinball Table! July 9, 2008
This game inspired me to get a real pinball table!
I now own (and maintain, lol) a Gottlieb Spider-Man pinball table and I must say that while I prefer the real table, it is a HECK of a lot more work and expense (more $$ than all of my wii console, controllers, games and virtual console downloads combined!)
Funny thing is that I do still play this game and enjoy it, despite the above. It is a SUPERB game that will take up the space of a slim game case (NOT the size of a small refrigerator!) in your home. It requires no maintenance, has no playfield wear or randomity (you get a perfect playfield, every time that will never wear out or need waxing or maintaining), the electronics will never die, no chips to replace or printed circuit boards to solder (or pay someone to fix!), etc.
I have experienced ALL of the above (although it's been very much worth it). If you are the average home user, though, this is still quite a satisfying experience.
And don't forget too: pinball is definitely a multiplayer game, many of these games are four player!
Good playing!

Really addictive July 3, 2008
Despite some negative reviews of this game, I truly find this game sensational to play, and very addictive. The graphics on it are really something to behold, especially on the new Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color I just bought - also through Amazon. This game really takes me back a few years when I couldn't get enough of playing pinball. All the classic games are there, so I find it really exciting to settle down and play each one of them again. If you're looking for a truly well designed pinball game to play on your Wii, this one is it. I owe a co-worker a big thanks for turning me on to this. Great job, and a game that will see a lot of play in my house.
Close to the real thing July 2, 2008

I've played many video pinball games, and this is the first time that I've felt like I was actually playing with a real ball. The game play is smooth and I don't feel like the computer is cheating like I have with other pinball games.
I have never played Jive Time in real life, but I sure dig it on the Wii.
I've met a few table goals, but haven't unlocked anything yet. My kid booted me off for a try, and he likes it too. I think it is neat that they have included the promotional flyers for each game.
A must for middle-age pinball lovers June 27, 2008
My wife and I are not avid gamers. We bought the Wii system and have enjoyed some of the games (bowling) that came with it. I bought this pinball game on a whim and have really enjoyed it. On our big screen, it's as if you are walking into an arcade with the outstanding music and graphics. My wife also enjoys it. I highly recommend it.
 Great Graphics, Fair Game June 26, 2008

I've been a fan of real pinball all my life and have played most of the popular tables. I've also played video pinball since the days of the early DOS based games. Quite frankly, this game has some of the best graphics I've ever seen, but the gameplay leaves me flat. Way too many balls are lost down the side after launch without any opportunity to hit them. It also seems that when you have a good ball, the program punishes you by having a bad ball right away. "Bumping" the table is of very little help. And if you're over thirty, you'll probably be looking for the audio option to turn the annoying techno-music between games down or off!
The Williams tables are great, but I hope someone comes out with some of the old Bally tables next.
