All in all, this is a fantastic version of the best video pinball game around. It looks absolutely gorgeous on the PS4, and the level of detail stands out to me on the tables played in a new and exciting way.
These tables have never looked better than they do on PS4, and the gameplay is authentic right down to the sound and pressure of each tables’ flippers.
If you love real Pinball games or just like to play a little, either way you can not miss with The Pin Ball Arcade! Farsight takes real Pinball games and recreates them down to every last detail in the tables. The first table Arabian Knights is free, so why not at least try it? They just made and released the Adams Family and it is like the Holy Grail of Pin Ball. There are a total of 56 tables in all and I recommend saving money and buying the table season packs instead of getting the tables individually. There are only a few tables on here that I have had the pleasure to play in real life, like Pin Bot and Tales of Arabian Nights and they play just like they did in real life and even look better. Farsigt is a small company and to really understand what they do just pull them up on youtube. They show exactly how they take a real machine and take it all apart and make models of every part in the game. Really amazing, they also use the original programming from the tables.
This game brought back great memories of playing pinball. Plus you only have to pay for it one time, not 50 cents every few minutes. I think the sound, color and themes are just a lot of fun.
Pinball Arcade is a very good exclusive title for PS4 and at the same time the best pinball game we've seen for years. With 22 playfields (and 35 others to come) amongst the best, you've a huge content at your disposal. Furthermore, the Farsight game successfully retranscripts the sensations, visuals and noises of all those playfields of the past. Old-school.
The visual fidelity is a big improvement, though perhaps not a big enough leap to tempt people to upgrade from PS3, and it’s thoroughly enjoyable to play such realistic replications. Table by table, it is becoming the definitive, one stop shop for die hard pinball fans.
The Pinball Arcade is the best pinball simulation there is. We wouldn’t have elected for a retail-version and preferred a different system to play it on, since this one has less cabinets and it does have a tournament mode. Are you patient and can you enjoy the pretty cabinets in this version, then don’t let us stop you.
Excellent pinball game with great gameplay. I've wanted many of these tables IRL but couldn't afford them (who can?) and am thrilled to have them in one place. Can't say enough great things about this game.
Compré este juego por pura nostalgia. Aparte de que me encantan las mesas de pinball, dentro de este disco hay algunas de las mesas que ya estaban disponibles en la entrega de PS2 a la que le eché un montón de horas, con el añadido de que incluye tambien algunas mesas que conozco de las salas de juego, como la de la Criatura del Lago. Explicado esto, decir que el juego está muy guay pero tiene luces y sombras. En primer lugar la recopilación base incluye 22 mesas con temáticas y retos muy diferentes. Dominar todas las mesas y sacerse los logros te va a llevar una temporada grande, esto es bueno. Pero el diseño de los menús y la nefasta traducción al español afea muchísimo el producto y es una pena. Además se incluye un montón de contenido de pago. Se ve que este disco se publicó antes de que el juego se pasara al modelo free to play y fueron sacando temporadas con mesas y bolas diferentes y los menús son tan poco intuitivos que no sabes que mesas tienes disponibles y cuales hay que pasar por caja.
En cuanto a mecánicas no hay que decir mucho. Es un simulador de pinball, si te gustan este tipo de máquinas, no veo porqué no te va a gustar. Se puede competir por las mejores puntuaciones online, se puede jugar a competir con colegas en modo local, las mesas tienen desafíos que superar, para lo cual tendrás que entender el juego y dominar la mesa. Es un excelente juego de pinball cuya presentación deja mucho que desear. Los menús son chapuceros y poco intuitivos, la traducción es nefasta y la inclusión de los micropagos es invasiva. Aún así una vez estás dentro de la representación de la mesa todo funciona de forma correcta, permitiendo personalizar los controles y las vistas, lo que te permitirá jugar cómodo y disfrutar de estos grandiosos juegos.
If you are used to play on these machines as a kid you are going to have a blast, however the content is very restricted and I would rather have seen a "full game" not a free to play version which makes it far more expensive than it should be, other than that the controls feel very responsive, and the graphics are what you can expect.
Flawed ball physics make this game more of a novelty than a serious pinball game. Ball momentum and unusual movement is apparent especially during multiball events. Nice looking tables takes you down memory lane though, but not sure that's enough to justify the price of the game and additional price of the tables.
The Pinball Arcade recreates many classic and outstanding tables into the virtual world, and does a kind of okay job of it. Pretty much everything about this game is just okay. The physics are decent, with some weirdness and hiccups and such, the visuals are decent, nothing too outstanding. The problem with this game, however, is the amount of glitches it has. I have frequently had my game crash, or have had strange occurrences on tables. The only reason to be playing the Pinball Arcade is to be able to play those great tables without having to spend the money on the real things, and it's unfortunate that this seems to be the only option.
