Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Awesome

Great game, this is the game I go to when I'm bored and need something to do, players can select to listen to their own iPod library. It's a fun and challenging game.


Great pinball simulator

This is a brilliant pinball game (or should I call it a pinball simulator?). The physics are absolutely real and it almost perfectly simulates the look and feel of a real pinball game. It makes me feel as if I am playing on a real table! It has an almost "artificial intelligence" like ability to zoom in on the ball at key moments and follow it around on the table to keep up with the action, and yet zoom out again when you want to see the big picture. It gives you the feeling of playing on a much larger table than something that fits in the palm of your hand. On the downside, it does not support tilt sensitivity, although this is not a big drawback, and launching the ball sometimes takes two or three tries. In all, this is held my interest longer than almost any other game I've tried.


Good fun game

This is a solid fun pinball game. The board has several fun areas to explore, though not as many as a true pinball machine. The controls feel great, the graphics look great, and this has solid replay value. It's a steal while it's on sale for free also.


Pinball away !

Very nice Pinball simulator which will give you many moments of fun play !It's not as easy as it looks to beat the high scores.Unfortunately the "Tilt" function of a real pinball machine is not supported. But besides that it's fun to play with your colleagues during the coffee breaks !Try to get your high score on top of the table !Get wild with Wild West Pinball !!!R:o)B


a great pinball sim
