Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Do yourself a favor and pick this up. The new tables and HD textures make it worth the upgrade from the earlier PS2 and Wii release.
The physics are perfect (as they were before), and the new tables easily make it worth the budget asking price. I encourage anyone who wants to see more of this immediately buy it to support the developer.
The three new tables are all modern titles which make them very accessible. They are Arabian Nights, Medieval Madness, No Good Gofers like Amazon states. For some reason there seems to be some discrepancy between the few reviews that are online. Arabian Nights and Medieval Madness are especially good.
The HD textures are beautiful, even on my older SDTV with composite cables. Full screen (4x3) is supported as well. It's a notable improvement from the PS2 release.
The controls are straightforward. The left and right triggers are the bumpers. You pull the right analog stick back to launch the plunger and the left analog nudges the table.
If you're curious about the music it's the same cheesy set of tunes the PS2 release had. Thankfully you can turn it off and listen to a custom soundtrack on the 360 version. Otherwise you'll be rocking out to some bad synth and wanna-be metal tunes.
A welcome addition is the online leader board. This greatly improves the replay value. I was able to rank in Funhouse after only a few plays.
The price on Amazon is a steal. I bought it locally at a higher price because I've been waiting anxiously for its release ever since it was announced.

Pinball FX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pinball FX is like having your own pinball arcade machine in your home. It really is pretty neat although not the best. If you love pinball and like to achieve high scores all the time this is the game for you. I think I've played hours at a time in this game and that is just an amazing thing with an XBLA game. The multiplayer is pretty fun too, grab 3 other friends or get into a match with strangers, and try to grab the target score before anyone else can. Even though the camera is supported I believe I only used it once as controlling the flippers was awkward and not needed with that method. I might have used it a few times online though but not controlling the flippers. The achievements are fun, I finally got the Speed Table achievement >
