This is more like standing in front of the machine VS a Pinball game for the game unit. It was not exactly what I was looking for. I wanted it to be like pinball games normally are on the PSP. This made you feel like you were in the arcade.
Over all it is not really bad. It was just not comfortable for me to play. It made me a tad dizzy. It took a bit to figure out how to view it easiest. I ended up trading my copy in at the local game store.
Great game that accurately pay homage to Pinball machines of yester year

This game is neat, it includes background history of each pinball machine and even includes a a built in tour of the Gottlieb factory. A must have for any pinball fan. Graphics and sounds are authentic and game play is fun. This game is challenging at first because you have to reach certain goals on certain machines first, before you can play the other machines. I wish you could just choose whatever machine you wanted directly, but on the other hand, it is more challenging they way they did it.
I can see playing this game for a long time, it's not the time of game that is so simple that you will get bored of it easily.

Nice recreation of some old time piball tables. Also true to the graphics and sounds. On the PSP some of the tables could be considered smallish. when playing in 'career' mode, you must beat the tables challenges to move on to the next table. more and more challenging as you go but you could always just play in practice mode. All in all a nice solid game if you are a pinball fan. Not sure what else i could possible want out of it
Gottlieb Collection kicks!!!

I scored this game for $9.99 new and can't think of a better way to spend ten bones. I usually dump at least $10 in pinball machines whenever I see them, and now I can play some of the oldies that I remember (and many that I never saw) for as long as I want. The replication of the tables is quite good. It's not perfect, but considering the inherent limitations of the platform, the effort is substantial.
Nice graphical touches abound, featuring all of the original games' samples, a comprehensive historical fact mode, and the really generous game sharing mode.
Awesome recreation of classic pinball tables

You can't beat the value of this game at $20 or less. Take a stroll through an arcade and play some note-for-note replicas of pinball tables ranging from 1932 up to 1996. Excellent all-around. the scrolling gameplay is a sneeze less than perfect, but that's to be expected on the smaller screen of the PSP, versus playing it on a computer screen or TV. highlights include Black Hole, Tee'd Off, Aces High and Goin' Nuts (an unreleased game that is a lot of fun). can't wait until their next release comes out on February 20th, 2008. it will feature Williams' tables (including Whirlwind, Black Knight, Funhouse, Gorgar, etc).
just pick it up

Best Version of a Good Collection

This is essentially the same game as on the PS2, except it has an extra 3 tables. The best part, though, is that it has a great viewing angle - tilt the PSP vertical, and it fills the screen. It didn't include very many modern tables (1992's Teed Off was the most recent), and Victory is about as generic as you can get, but at least they were based on real tables. I might have knocked off a star for the table selection, but, considering how great the rest of the presentation is, and considering there really aren't any other games out there like this, then this is a must have for pinball fans.
Williams collection is so much better.

This compilation of tables is pretty typical of how Williams tables were always so much superior. This one features slow and boring Gottlieb tables with very poor layouts and questionable mission objectives that always made little sense. Most of these tables are enough to put you to sleep!! Crave should just concentrate on making Williams and Bally tables from here on out. These tables are just a waste of time.
