Gameplay
Not skimping on the technology, game developer TopWare Interactive included six different style of balls in Dream Pinball 3D. Made of different materials, they not only look different, but their ballistic characteristics will affect the very rolling behavior of each one of them. Add to that incredible acoustics, state of the art particle technology, HDRI and multilayer 3D sound, realistic tilt function and motion blur effects, and you have the best pinball experience yet available on the Wii.

An arcade classic now for Wii
One Game but Many Ways to Play
Whether bellying up to your favorite machine at the local arcade or plopped down in front of your Wii, a huge part of the fun of any pinball game is variety and action in the tables you play. Dream Pinball 3D has this covered with its six playable tables. Each has an entirely different look, with a partial list of these including: aquatic, monsters (zombies,vampires...), and dinosaur and Two Worlds (game publisher SouthPeaks's hit role-playing game) themes. Each of these also includes at least one extra pair of flippers, in addition to the standard pair. This makes for unpredictable fun and boundless replayablity, whether you are already a pinball wizard or a wizard in training.

Customer Reviews


1 stars Skip this - get Williams Collection
Ugh! What a train wreck. I was looking forward to this after having so much fun with The Williams Collection, but this is not only not in the same league, but hardly deserves to be in the same console.

The in-game controls are the only decent thing about the game, and they are nothing special. The controls are wasted on tables that have difficult to see upper flippers.

Additionally, some of the camera views do not let you see the whole table, or at least the targets or ramps that you need to shoot. Yuck!

Graphics are pretty bad - and the menus look like they were done in 5 minutes.

There is not a huge amount of variety to the measly 6 tables - they look too much the same, hardly any personality to them.

It may be cheap, but it is still not worth what you pay for the game.

Save your money and get the Williams COllection - a far superior product for at most $5 more.


4 stars PinBall Player
This game is a lot of fun especially if you enjoy pinball. I found myself really getting into playing as if I was using a real pinball machine. I haven't made it to the expert level yet, but I'm having a lot of fun getting there. It;s not a game you play sitting down that's for sure!


5 stars Great game. Needs a little more space to keep up with the flippers
The game is excellent. It reminds you of the old days when you use to go to an arcade and play. Reliving my youth.


1 stars Go with Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams instead
Surprisingly bad pinball game; I have nothing against original layouts, but these are quite poor with no flow and way too many flippers. Physics is not horrible but flipper "animation" is non-existent. The camera tracking is awful leading to drained balls because the camera couldn't pan down to the flippers fast enough. Try the far superior Pinball Hall of Fame : The Williams Collection instead.


2 stars You get what you pay for --- not much!
This is a $20 game, so remember that. A $20 game is not usually as good as a $50 game. This proves the theory. You have six tables for $20 so that sounds like a bargain, but sadly the joke is on us. I WISH I had waited for other reviews before spending my own $20 on this game but sadly I didn't.

The game had potential, but it just fails.

The tables are hard to see and the camera is so slow sometimes if the ball rapidly moves from the top to the bottom of the table, the camera doesn't catch up in time for you to see where it is, so if you don't react with an instinctive flipper press, you could just lose the ball because you couldn't see the bottom of the table in time.

They tried to create a "realistic" effect by adding a reflection of the back glass onto the surface of the pinball machine, but it is just distracting. Some of the flippers are so hidden you can't even see where they are until you activate them. The sound effects are annoying and repetitive (I know it's pinball, but still) and the amount of free balls I got in one game was insane and I wasn't even trying that hard.

I only gave it two stars instead of one because this wasn't a full priced game, so for $20 it has a little value. But once you play for more than an hour total, you will be about ready to get rid of this trainwreck. It had potential, but it falls far short.

Stay away and like others said, get the Williams Pinball game for a much better time!
