 Very poor effort December 15, 2008
Pinball Lover (Ga. USA)
Very poor effort, do not waste your money on this product. I started playing pinball machines from the time I was tall enough to see over the glass, over 35 years ago, I fell in love with them the first game. As a lover and wizard of pinball I'm very disappointed with this simulator, not nearly as good as Crave's second effort, "The Williams Collection". Crave did not take the time to test this product properly, that is obvious. I would recommend "The Williams Collection", but not this one. This one does not play anywhere near the real thing, and there are too many glitches in the programing, poorly done. Major problem: Black Hole pinball simulator, often this game locks down after locking the ball in the black hole (lower level) ball capture. Tee'd Off pinball simulator, the left flipper is almost useless because regardless of what part of the flipper you use to flip the ball it goes pretty much in only 2 areas, up the middle or far to the right, forget about hitting the ramp. Tilt mech: This pinball simulator tilts way too easy, one small nudge and that's it, and there's no way to adjust it unless you unlock all the hidden programs. That would be OK if it wasn't such a piece of junk, I don't have the patience to tolerate it long enough to unlock everything, I'll just play "The Williams Collection" and be happy. Anyway, pinball is suppose to be fun, and this one is not.
 Doesn't do Gottlieb justice. October 12, 2008
retrowrestling (Pasadena, California)
Gottlieb, of course, is legendary in the world of arcade pinballs. Whenever, I used to venture out to arcades and golflands, I would seek out a Gottlieb pinball machine for a fun time with the metal ball and flippers.
So when I heard that a Gottlieb Collection was going to be released, I was pretty jazzed about it. Unfortunatly, the actual product fell a little too short of my expectations.
But first, the good things. I liked the fact that included are tables from every decade starting from the 50's. There are nice little extras such as pinball art, fun facts, and an unlockable table. The audio of each table was nice.
Now, I really didn't enjoy the physics of each table. The movement of the ball felt a little too loose and a bit light. I'm not a big fan of using polygon graphics to mimick the look of a pinball table. Gives it kind of a bland, undetailed look. I much prefer the ditigized look of a pinball table.
Also, Tee'd Off came out in 1993 and included an LCD display as all tables from the 90's did. Crave, however, did not do a very good job of placing the display on screen. It is somewhere on a bottom corner instead of on top as it is with all pinballs.
Unfortanely for pinball fans, there is a dearth of pinball simulations/collection on the PS 2. So although this collection is a little dissapointing, it is one of only a handful of options for me to get my pinball fix on the PS 2.
Not as Good July 28, 2008
Ron (Jersey)
If given the choice, I would take the Williams collection over this one. For the most part, these were very plain game tables, with only a couple of really good ones. There are only 7 games, as opposed to the Williams 8. The two main reasons I like the Williams better is the choice of camera angles, and the rumble feature which makes playing the game seem more realistic. This is a fun, though a bit pedestrian effort. Go with the Williams if you have to choose one.
Family Fun January 18, 2008
Clint Hall (Kerrville, Texas USA)
This was an inexpensive and enjoyable family game. Easy to play for all ages and even a little addictive for it's scoring.
 Virtual Pinball December 5, 2007

If you ever played pinball and enjoyed it, then there's good chance you'll appreciate what this game has to offer. Which is virtual pinball, classic tables, and no coins! (that's the best part)
