  • Summary: Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection faithfully recreates eight of the most memorable tables from the golden age of pinball in photorealistic 3D. Working closely with Williams to ensure authenticity of each of the games, the collection is highlighted by some of the most popular and innovative Williams pinball tables, including Gorgar, the first-ever talking pinball machine, Black Knight, which introduced "Magna-Save" and Bonus Ball, and Space Shuttle, which took the pinball industry by storm in 1984. Every table has been meticulously recreated to bring players the visuals, sound effects and gameplay that made these games legendary successes. Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection harkens back to the arcades of the 1980s. Players begin Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection with access to four pinball tables, and the remaining four tables are unlocked as the game progresses. Players can spend as little as two minutes on a quick pinball challenge, or delve deeper into the game, gaining rewards in a token-based system as they unlock each of the pinball tables. Single-player Arcade and Challenge modes provide hours of solo entertainment, and a Multiplayer mode lets players face each other head-on. [Crave Entertainment]… Expand

    Not only does it play a fantastic game of pinball, but has the best collection to date.

    You may think I'm crazy, but Pinball Hall of Fame: The William Collection is easily one of the best games on the Wii.

    But let everyone, regardless of skill level, have the tables you've written on the back of the box with no strings attached. They paid for them.

    Best Pinball sim ever, the physics and flow of the game are great. I wish they included some newer pinball tables. I hope they come out with another one. Best game on the Wi so far… Expand

    This is a must have game if you own a Wii and you should be able to find this game new for $15 or less. Being a pinball nut I have always bought pretty much any pinball game discs I came across hoping one would actually be good. I’ve come across a few which have been ok, but usually the experience is just ok, maybe good for a night’s entertainment and that is it, off to my garage sale pile and then wait for another to come out and try again. Well, finally a pinball game has come out which actually is so well done it can fool you into thinking you are playing a real live machine. The controls on the Wii work extremely well simulating the feel of a real machine and the games in this version are all near perfect reproductions of the machines they simulate. I played most of these tables in real life and there are only minor changes but most of the tables in this collection were some of the best pinball games around during their short lifespan of the late 80’s/early 90’s. The physics of the tables are spot on and there is only one game I think had a glitch and the ball gets stuck, but in all honesty that happened on the real machines too so it may not even be a glitch, it may be a testament to how well done a simulation this game title is to the real machines. I highly recommend. The game includes different modes of game play: straight arcade or a challenge and there are many table challenges to beat in what is similar to a trophy system… Expand

    Probably the most realized pinball simulator I've ever played. The pinball machines presented here are entertaining, and depending on the style of pinball machine you prefer, completely addictive. I also appreciate that, aside from just gunning for high score, each table has their own goals that allows you to unlock some pretty snazzy features.… Expand
