There are six different style balls, made of different materials, that not only look different, but whose ballistic characteristics will affect the very rolling behaviour of each one of them. Add to that incredible acoustics, state of the art particle technology, HDRI and multilayer 3D sound, and realistic tilt function and motion blur effects. [SouthPeak Interactive]

DEVELOPER: TopWare
GENRE(S): Pinball, Simulation

Remarkably ordinary pinball that's quite forgettable. Wait for the Williams collection - it's load better than this one. [July 2008, p.68]

While there are a lot of issues with Dream Pinball 3D it is hard not to recommend it to fans of the classic arcade game.

With a mediocre physics system and a severe lack of alternative modes, you can't help but wonder whether SouthPeak's creation would have found a better home on the newly-created WiiWare service, where simplicity and value go hand in hand.

Dream Pinball 3D isn't exactly what we dreamed of, but it's solid enough to keep most pinball wizards occupied for a while. [Issue#23, p.75]

IGN
Dream Pinball 3D isn't a terrible effort but it suffers from unrealistic physics. Even if the player was given a sense of the weight of the ball and the flippers reacted like they should, you'd still have some pretty generic tables.

Dream Pinball 3D is closer to a nightmare than a dream.

If you like pinball so much that this is tempting just turn on your PC and play the free pinball game that comes with Windows. Much better, much more fun and not a total waste of a Wii game.
