Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been waiting for this game for months and I finally got my copy one day after release thanks to prime shipping from Amazon.The main reason I wanted this game was becuase of "Funhouse".I was addicted to that game back in my freshman year of college (1991-92) as we had it in our dorm's common area.That game caused many people to skip classes and skip dinner just so they could put Rudy to sleep and nail him in the mouth with the pinball!So much fun!
So, to the game, my expectations were rather low due to the fact that it was delayed for so long.Usually, that means there are problems.Well, 5 minutes after opening it, I was back in college playing Funhouse again.Now, there is nothing like playing pinabll on a real machine but the physics employed by this game are rather astounding in my opinion.Everything that I remember about the original game was in this.The one thing that may have been different is the sound of Rudy's voice.Maybe its the simulated surround sound I am using on my home theater for the WII or maybe they just couldn't get the original Rudy!
As far as the other games, I was not too familiar with them but I did play a few including Gorkon and Space Shuttle.I enjoyed them a lot and found them to have their own interesting set of challenges.
The overall game has several modes to it.There is a simple go to the arcade mode where you can play most of the games (although I think some are locked).As you play, you have certain challenges to complete like get a certain score or hit this or that.When you achieve these, it may give you the opportunity to unlock another game or give you more credits (you need credits to play some games and you start with 20...but it is very easy to get more).
I played the Challenge mode where you play each pinball machine where you have to achieve a certain score before moving to the next machine.You get three tries on each machine to get the score or the challenge ends.I made it to the fourth machine (Funhouse) but, ironically, I couldn't get the required score to move on.
There is a tournament mode but I did not try that yet but it appears you can play with only one person.I assume you must play against AI somehow.
There is another mode that I could not open as I hadn't built enough credits yet so I can't comment on that yet.I will post an update as I progress in the game.
Overall, for $30, this is going to provide me with hours and hours of enjoyment.Funhouse alone is worth it to me but having the variety of games on there really increases the longevity of this game.The sounds make you feel like you are at an old arcade and the games seem to replicate the machines just like the originals.
