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]

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.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
All this whining and pining for bygone days aside, Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection is an entertaining game you'll pick up and put down, quite possibly for years to come.

Overall, this is a must have for those of you who would like to take the journey to gaming past. It’s like a trip to a time before fanboyism, bloging, global warming, and reality Television (cringe).

Pinball Hall of Fame is unapologetically faithful to its source material, and doesn't offer any olive branches to those who have never found pinball compelling. Nevertheless, FarSight Studios has crafted a wonderfully authentic pinball experience.

It's a hell of a lot of fun, and hardcore pinball fans will appreciate the special achievements and unlockables like hidden tables and original promotional pamphlets. [Apr 2008, p.95]
GameZone
Whether you own the first game or not, if you love pinball, this is a can’t-miss release.

If there’s a complaint, it’s just that we’re left wanting more – where’s Comet and Cyclone and High Speed? Let’s just hope that Crave is saving them for Pinball Hall of Fame Volume 2. Until that game is released, this is definitely one game that I’ll keep playing – it’s highly recommended.

Unless you’re rich enough to buy up a bunch of old machines, completely refurbish them, and open up your own private rec-center, Pinball: Hall of Fame is probably the closest you’re going to get to a true pinball arcade experience.

An excellent pinball title and a perfect dose of retro action that won't get old fast.

More tables would've been ideal, but this Pinball Hall of Fame is still worth multiple visits.

The Williams Collection is a top-tier set of pinball tables that fans should not pass up.

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection was made for pinball wizards: it's a fantastic fan service of the game's recent past that puts excellent attention to the detail of the genre.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
This collection of 10 pinball tables offers more than enough variety to justify the price that you pay for infinite credits.

If you do like pinball, you're in luck--Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection is as close to owning a real pinball table as most people are going to get. [Apr 2008, p.90]
Games Radar (in-house)
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.

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
Larry C gave it a9:
A great game for the true pinball fan. Each game closely mimics the real pinball game. It would have been better to add more exciting games such as Twilight Zone or Adams Family, but several of the games are fun.
Dave V gave it a10:
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
Jamie D gave it a10:
I Picked this up for free on a "Buy 2 get 1 free" deal, and it blew the the other two out of the water!. So easy to jump into, Incredibly hard to put down ("I'll play just one more game...") Everyone in the house has become addicted too...From my Five year old son, To my Videogame hating wife...Who knew. If you can get it free, do it, If you have to spend $20 for a used one...DO IT!!!!
Steve J gave it a10:
Extremely will done! Pinball fanatics should not miss this game for any reason. I can only hope that the developers continue to model other tables in the future.
Kelly S gave it a9:
It got a 9 because it is hard to read the words on the tables. Other than that it is VERY realistic. In fact, I own a Black Knight Pinball Table and the sounds and gameplay are very true in the game. Highly Recommend!
Tim S. gave it a9:
The best console pinball game ever. Only complaint, I wish there was a little more background history on each of the tables. Buy this now!!
