Forums - Gaming - Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection HD

I'm thinking about picking up this game for my 360 because I was blown away by the photo realistic graphics.  I have played Pinball FX and while it was good, I thought the ball physics where a little unrealistic. As well as the flipper controls.  I was wondering if anybody out there has played this yet, eithor on the HD systems or on the Wii and could let me know how this game plays.

I have the Wii version and it's the best pinball simulation ever made.   My friend is collects the actual machines and has the PSP version, and even he says it's an amazing vertual re-creation of the machines.   Highly recommend (but I'd sooner play on Wii than 360 (have both) since you can literally nudge the machines on Wii)

Yes! This is a winner, great physics and graphics. This is a genre that is so rarely pulled off that it is great to see what a good dev team can do. I too own the Wii version, and I'm assuming my comments extend to other versions as well. If you are on the fence and love pinball this is a must get.

The original game is a PS2 game. I bought thew Wii version and it is very good.  Probably the most spot on Pinball simulator you will ever play (right down to losing 5 straight balls on Jive Time without being able to do anything).  But really, as a major fan of Virtual Pinball games, this ranks up there as my favorite, right above Pokemon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire.  Its a great addition to a genre which is often overlooked and full of low quality titles.

And soon we're going to be getting a new game in the series (Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection).

Gottlieb isn't actually new. It's a port from last gen, too.

Not that I'm complaining! I've never played a Gottlieb table IRL, so I'm really looking forward to slamming those tables around with my wiimote.

agreed williams pinball collection is a winner, personally I'm going to pick up the 360 version even though I have the wii release just for the 4 additional tables, and it handily beats zen, or pinball fx

for accuracy my score on a real pinbot, gorgar, and fun house tables are near identical to my scores on the collection

still hoping for farsight makes a stern and data east collection as well, plus additional Williams and Gottlieb collection would be nice considering the wealth of incredible tables to 2 companies made over the years (really hoping for the other 2 pinbots, tomcat, and summer time from a williams collection) 

 



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

I did not know there was a 360/ps3 version.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Well, I just got the game in the mail today. Got to say that I'm really impresses. Way better Pinball experience than PinballFX. The visuals and sound effects are spot on. Even the butt rock that play in the arcade is not bad.

I think this game is way under the radar for PS3/360 owners because its been on the SD systems for over a year now. But if you haven't played it yet and you love Pinball I would buy it. I found it on Amazon for $30 new.

Also, the HD version contain 3 extra tables not included in the other versions.

Nice to hear the HD versions are up to snuff. I just might have to pick it up for 360 once I see it used. Those extra tables are tempting. Can you tell me what tables they are?
