Too bad for you. While not perfect it still alot of fun and something different frmo the other games available. Same goes for Mini golf.

If only they had 3 or 4 balls flying around. It's a big ask, but I'd love to see some real tables put onto the dlc. I played Williams Pinball Classics and even though they looked accurate, the ball physics was awful. Only thing I’m disappointed about is that the multiball is only 2 balls.

Anyone worked out the sequence needed to trigger multiball on SPeed-machine - I've no idea what triggers it but it is great when it happens?!?!

Does a great job of reproducing a late 1980s / early 1990s pinball machine, complete with the many mini-games and missions that take considerable time and skill to complete. Love it. This and Jetpac have made the spring a good time on Live Arcade.

It's worth the 800 points, come on... where else are you gonna be entertained for two weeks for about 10$/€? The game does have its little flaws though, it's annoying to have to look on the scoreboards to know the highscore for the board you're playing, they could have put that in the dot matrix. Another thing I'm missing is the ability to win an extra game and the countdown you get on real tables where you can also win an extra game. Seeing your 10 best scores for each board would be nice too, maybe with a name besides it as this is something you play with the entire family. Maybe the developers can fix these quirks when they bring out new tables? One can only hope :) I love this game… the force feedback from the bumpers makes this game feel more like the real thing than any of it’s predecessors.

Overall this game is awesome, and totally worth 800 points. The tracks seem quite simple at first, however they are incredbily hard to get decent scores on (over 100 million). I'd highly recommend this game to anyone, I've been playing it everyday since release and only now am I starting to work out some of the cooler rewards. My best score is 199 million on the Speed table, so there is a lot more to work out.

Ive spent more time playing this pinball game than certain retail 360 games. There is alot of depth to the three tables, even at 800 points its worth it.

The ball seems to move around too fast, and it's too easy to just lose the ball because the table dynamics aren't quite right. As for the camera integration... what a waste of effort. Sure, in THEORY you can control the flippers with your arms, except it frequently fails to respond even if your arms are within the target zones, meaning you end up losing balls and it's completely pointless to use.
