Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection Review

[@Peyethon]

I was 6 years old in 2008 and this game definitely opened up my love for Pinball which started on windows XP

[@dohertyaaron]

Man, that's a really good review. Both well written and nicely voiced. Great job. I picked up the 360 version last week and am having a complete blast with the title.

[@JDFlava]

You can get a "TILT" in the game, but I believe it comes into play from nudging too much...not from the strength of your movements... Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad that you enjoyed the review.

[@thegalaxybeing]

I just received The Williams collection, The Gottlieb Collection and Virtigo in the mail yesterday. (For Wii). I may OD on games this weekend!! I would like to see the following pinball machines for Wii. Addams Family, The Twilight Zone, Space invaders, Bow and Arrow (The older version) and Spirit of 76.

[@JDFlava]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad the review helped push you in the right direction...

[@JDFlava]

Hey, thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed the review.

[@AverageJoeDividends]

Excellent review. This game rocks! It is awesome for the Wii and the PSP. It is like buying 10 pinball machines and not having to worry about maintaining them.

[@stringanime]

Either way. Treasure (developer of Bangai-O) is developing 2 titles for Wii, TBA this year 2008.

[@stringanime]

Yeah, Pinball hall of fame is awesome. The coolest feature is how you control the Bump and nudging with the wiimote and nun-chuck. Bangia-o Spirits on DS is my Favorite game of 2008 thus far. I bought it as an import but look for it in June!

[@RocketLawnchair]

Very good review. I've been looking at getting this game and this is a nice push in the right direction. Thanks!

[@WaveGazer]

I'll admit that I actually like Jive Time. As cheap of a table it is...I like it. But my favorite table is Pin Bot...but that's only because I played it a lot as a kid.

[@JDFlava]

Thanks for the heads up on Bangia-o-Spirits. I'll keep an eye out for it. Of course it would probably help if I picked up a DS first...

[@Progearspec]

Just got it for PS3 and i'm having a blast with it so far.

[@jodyjohnson265]

This is a very great Williams collection of pinball games I don't understand why but this collection stands out more than the pinball arcade on Xbox and it looks really great on ppsspp emulator with 3x resolution.

[@joxter74]

Great review! Must have this, starting to look for a wii straight away!!

[@JDFlava]

Ha, no problem. I didn't realize that Jive Time was 5 cents per play when it was released. That's interesting. Thanks for watching...

[@JDFlava]

@Golbez1991 The Wii version has the simple motion controls for the tilt functionality. I'm not really sure how that's handled on the 360 and PS3. Maybe with the analog stick? I honestly don't know. However, it is my understanding that the PS3 and 360 versions have an extra table or two. Plus you get the high definition up-res, so that's a plus.

[@JDFlava]

@huyked Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I did this review a couple years ago, so HD wasn't really a thing yet on youtube. Moving forward with any other videos that I do, I'll be doing HD.

[@ArcadeHunters]

Good review man, really enjoyed it. I also grew up in the 80's so I have a lot of fond memories of when Arcades weren't Redemption, Lightgun Games and Music games. I really hope they come out with a second one so they can have Attack From Mars and Medieval Madness. It's a shame they can't have tables like Star Trek TNG or T2, but they have enough to make another 10 games for a second one.

[@DeanNoble14748]

Thank you for uploading this.

[@666jamie666]

Really good review mate, very impressive.

[@AverageJoeDividends]

I believe the PSP does not have a nudge count. It seems to be just like the Wii version in every way. That would be completely non realistic as you have said the table does not have a memory of previous nudges. Whirlwind and Fun House can both be a little "busy".

[@JDFlava]

Yeah, I'm disappointed that the Wii port of the Gottlieb collection never got a U.S. release. I would also love to see a second installment to the Williams collection with some of the newer tables. I'd imagine that there would be some licensing issues to deal with though if they used names like Terminator® or Adams Family®. Oh well, I guess we can just cross our fingers and hope. Oh, and let's not forget the Star Trek TNG pinball machine that was also developed by Williams...

[@sagatbalrog]

can you control how hard you hit the ball with the flippers? like if you hit the button gently it the ball gently and if you hit it hard then it hits hard?

[@paulspydar]

can you get a TILT with the wii nunchuck if you nudge too hard? great review btw

[@blueluny]

Although I;m no spring chicken Im new to playing pinball. Pinball FX and Pinball Arcade being my introduction to the game. I cant wait to actually play some of these tabels in real life. it'll be like meeting a hero in the flesh!

[@stringanime]

You shake the PSP? o_O Wow I had no Idea the PSP was capable of Motion sensory.

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

There is no, No good goofers, Medieval Madness or Tales of the Arabian nights on the Wii version? I agree with you on the Jive Time I think FarSight was trying to get in a EM type score machine but should have done a different Williams table as there were more then Jive Time that were made by Williams. The rest of the pinball machines on the game are fun though.

[@stringanime]

Sounds better than the L&R buttons in DS Dream Pinball(I hate that game) On that Dream pinball game, Tilt is triggered by how many times you nudge it, instead of frequency(about 10 nudges till you tilt:( On Wii, if you rythmically nudge, without going overboard, you can constantly nudge all the time:) It that how the nudge is on PSP, it's the same game so I would be shocked if it was a "nudge-count tilt." Whirlwind needs to be seen on a big screen though -_- it is too congested

[@khoavuong]

I'm shocked the Gottlieb collection sold well enough to warrant another "collection". I hope this one sells enough to incite the devs to recreate the newer Williams tables like Terminator 2 and Adams Family.

[@Golbez1991]

@morath11 Cool. I had my eye on Pin-Bot for nostalgic reasons.

[@Golbez1991]

I have the PS3, 360 and the Wii, I don't know which version to get... everybody seems to be loving the Wii version.. I don't know what version to get.

[@Brysonbookertelevion]

funhouse is kind of hard to me i have the ps2 version but i love space shuttle

[@Kingdra321]

funny thing is, is that this is Pin-Bot's second time in a video game cause it has it's own pinball game for the NES console. LOL I wish they make another Williams pinball collection and put newer Dotmotion Pinballs like Bram Stoker's Dracula, Fish Takes, White Water, World Cup, Addams Family, Dr. Who and more. :(

[@JDFlava]

@MisterSlingshot absolutely, 5 bucks for this game is a bargain. It's a lot of fun.

[@AverageJoeDividends]

I have this game for the PSP and the Wii. The nudge feature is much easier on the PSP in my opinion.

[@jodyneal4969]

My Favorite Game On The Wii.

[@AverageJoeDividends]

Very funny.... No, you can use the little thumb analog stick to precisley nudge the table...

[@huyked]

Great review. Thanks. Would've been great in HD, but beggar can be choosers. :P

[@JDFlava]

Yes, this does include black knight.

[@morath11]

@Golbez1991 I have a 360. I have to pay $40.00 to get this game, and the table really want is Whirlwind

[@Golbez1991]

@JDFlava Alright thanks for the info :)

[@nibelung34343]

is this the one woth black knight

[@MrRealtor247]

Why do they not release f14 tomcat.

[@AustinLaPlante]

I have this game for the wii.

[@dixieland9007]

ps2

[@DickMohawk1]

@Keepskatin Are you high? These tables are classic and have tons of personality. I like Pinball FX2 but most of the tables seem really kiddish and lack identity. Most importantly though Williams Collection has noticably better physics. Pinball FX2's balls are too light.

[@Schush]

This is good but yeah, Jive time should have not been here. Maybe f-14, swords of fury, or High Speed.

[@cyberfennek]

i want Addams family and Fish tales :)

[@abdelgonzalez9168]

good video

[@danteasdfgh]

2007, shit time don't forgive I'm getting old WHAAAA!!!!

[@90SecondGameReviews]

Still not as good as Sonic Spinball on Genesis. Pretty fair though.

[@Keepskatin]

Zen makes way better pinball tables than this.Williams is god but Pinball Fx is the champ

[@johnmcclane2139]

Rock band and halo 3? Lol

[@honchomanuel1996]

jive time.....5 cents per play,awesome. I am old,sorry.

[@Melodie_Info3]

graphics look horrible
