If you want Pinball on the Wii, this is the game for you |
Simply put, I love it.
First, they are real pinball games that I played when I was growing up. Okay some are from before I grew up, but most are right up my alley.
Takes me back to my youth when I would use the 50 cents extra that I had when I was buying milk for my Mom at the 7-11 to play a couple of games. She always wondered why it took me so long to get mike from a store 2 blocks away.
I also like that the physics seem to be realistic, unlike other games I have played in the past.
Love this game. Wish I could fine more pinball games of this quality. |

Great product!! |

As an owner of 3 actual pinball machines I was a little skeptical of how entertaining this game would be, especially with sub $20 price point. I was blown away by how much fun this title is. My only "complaint" is that I would like more machines to enjoy on this disc. Please hurry up and make the Williams Collection part 2 since it would take up much less room in my house! |

This is worth every penny, especially if you get a good price at Marketadvisory.com. Some games are better than others, but they're all fun. My favorite is Space Shuttle. Lots of action and things going on. Funhouse is my next fave. It's funny and it's entertaining. The visuals are great and camera angles perfect. You use both the nunchuck and remote for the flippers and the nunchuck to jolt the table. I highly recommend this game. Go from table to table for a fun night of pinball machines. Challenge your friends. Buy it, you won't be sorry. |

I feel like I'm in HighSchool again! |
Let me be clear, I LOVED TAXI in highschool. Loved it.
If I didn't already have a Wii and if the only game I got in the packaged game was TAXI, I'd have bought it all to have this game.
It is SO like the actual game. The only flaw I can find is that I used to be able to get "Gorby" with the right flipper, and I can't quite do it wth this game. Only a TAXI fanatic would pick on this. And that flaw is a drop of water in an ocean. They also mimicked the "free game" crack-sound. The machine used to really resound when it "cracked". They got the sound, but you can't really mimick that unique feel of the real thing.
I CANNOT BELIEVE how WELL they mimicked the actual game. Even the slight randomness of when you pull back the spring lever to put the ball into play. Its never perfectly repeatable. And they got it down.
When I heard "Comrad Taxi" for the first time, I felt like a million bucks, I LOVED this game. And now I have it, without the full sized machine sitting in my house.
I felt like I did years ago. Sometimes I'd leave slightly dejected with the "I'll get you tomorrow TAXI" feeling, sometimes so gleeful when I picked up everyone and got the CRACK sound.
And it was like I never left it. The first time the ball went a certain path, I was like "Oh man, that feels like a lost ball right down between the flippers" and sure enough, it did exactly that. I was even estatic about this game when I lost the first ball!
General Stuff:
This game is not easy, but its not impossible. That's what I like.
You gotta have a good run and be "in the zone" to pick up all the passengers.
I also like that the passenger who needs to be picked up calls out for you. So you're not confused about "What should I be trying to do now?" like alot of pinball games.
You can get "2 balls at once" when you do a certain task.
2 balls at once is a mixed bag, because you can't "line up" your shots like you can when you have one ball sometimes.
THANK YOU !!
(Note, I only played Taxi on it. I could play Taxi for hours straight. I guess one day I'll get to the other ones.) |

ABSOLUTELY amazing !!! You get more than what you pay for !!! |
Being a 1980-1990's pinball aficionado, I've played them all in the arcades. Quarter after quarter, replay after replay... I pride myself having spent many hours on pinball for mere dollars. I've spent a good deal of my college years making my entertainment value stretch.
However, the main thing lacking in home-versions of pinball games (either on computer platform or gaming consoles) is the "pinball wizard" feeling from merely pushing buttons and watching the balls bounce in uncontrollable patterns.
"Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection" is hands-down an exception to the disappointment I'm used to. Far superior to any pinball simulator I've EVER played, this adaptation is so close to the real thing, it's incredible. The biggest drawback from many home-version pinball games is the upright "flippers-at-your-hands" feeling. Astoundingly, with Pinball HOF, I get the feeling that I'm at a real arcade as I "bump" the machines using my Wii remotes.
Equally unbelievable and impressive are the accurate depictions of the graphics and sounds from EACH machine. SVG Distribution did such a fantastic job recreating the Wii version that it's hard to differentiate the software from the original machine. The older machines (i.e. Jive Time) have that classic relaxed pinball-saloon feel to them; however, the newer machines (i.e. Funhouse, Whirlwind, Taxi) give you the sensation of nudging the ball with your body movements. I don't know if what I'm trying to say is clear, but to pinball enthusiasts, you'll know what I mean by moving the ball "not with the flippers, but your body."
If SVG were to release another Pinball Hall of Fame (Gottlieb? Stern?), I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, pinball is undergoing a demise in popularity these days. I don't know why. A pinball wizard could be easily entertained for long periods of time dropping only a few coins. Hmmm... must be today's economy that's driving pinball production down.
Anyway, I can't say enough good things about this game. It has been keeping me entertained to the point that I haven't even played Super Mario Kart yet, a game that I bought the same day as Pinball HOF. That's my $.02... which will only buy .08 gallons of gas. |
