A great pinball game should not only be amazing from the start, but should continue to be entertaining every time you play it. This was the thinking behind the development of the newest pinball sensation to hit the market, Dream Pinball 3D, with its 6 cutting edge tables that are beckoning you to try your luck.

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.

Skip this one. March 2, 2010
Gary W. Ailes (McMurray, PA)
I played for almost 10 minutes and I doubt I'll ever try it again. Poor graphics, poor gameplay and tables that are just no fun to play.

Williams Pinball collection is the ultimate console pinball game.

4 out of 5 stars

Overall a fun game January 19, 2010
K. Randall
I just picked this up used. Overall I'd say it's a pretty decent game. I consider myself a casual gamer - not a fanatic - so my standards may be a bit lower than some, but, despite some flaws pointed out in other reviews, I really find it enjoyable.

Dream Pinball January 4, 2010
Richard Slupski
Ok, I've been playing pinball since the 1960's and this game with it's 6 tables and during game ball material changes keeps the challange going . The Wii controls have almost zero lag which make any video game fun . The background music and "Atmosphere" is pretty good .

That being said , Don't expect this to look or play absolutely like the Willams ,Sterns, Chicago Coin, Gottlieb Tables . As a collector of P.C. and console pinball games this piece of software is pretty good for the $20 that i spent on it .

Fails on most levels, but might be enjoyable for some January 3, 2010

Everyone has pretty much killed this game and rightfully so. I purchased the game at blockbuster for $6.99 figuring I couldn't go wrong because I love pinball games so much. I already own the Williams collection for PS2 (fantastic by the way), but wanted one on the WII. I had already read the reviews here and knew what I was getting into. Well, it's barely worth the $6.99 for me and I have a pretty high tolerance when it comes to pinball games. I don't need the physics to be perfect, I even enjoyed pinball dreams, epic pinball, sonic, etc.

I have never written a review, but I wanted to come back and share my experience that others may have missed. First, the camera angle 6 was the only one tolerable. If you leave the camera angle in it's default mode, I agree with everyone that it's impossible to follow. But don't let the camera angle deter you if you want a "gamey" pinball game that doesn't feel much like the right thing. Here's why I wouldn't buy it:

* The camera angles are easy to switch, but too easy. They use the up and down d-pad when hitting left is the left flipper. This results with inadvertent camera switches with my big thumbs during the game.
* The ball changes happen often and always to something you don't want. What I mean by this is the game says "ball change" and you have a new ball made of fire or stone or something wacky. If they are going to make the leap and give you the possibility of a fireball, then might as well completely cross over into an arcade game.
* On the default settings (I think there are levels, so it may just be on easy) you can play a machine for what seems like an infinite amount of time. Every time you lose a ball, it says fight again, or shoot again, etc. I don't really want levels, I just want the machine. Again, they walked the line by adding a few unrealistic elements without choosing one way or the other.

But if you don't have any pinball games, and you see a used one on here for cheap, it's not the worst thing ever. I gave it two stars because I have williams pinball. I think I may have enjoyed it close to the three star level had I just wanted a fun game to pass back and forth with my wife. Read the 4-5 stars, there are some people who enjoyed it who aren't concerned about the physics (like me), but also don't care about the points I made above.

Bottom line though is Williams Pinball on PS2 is way better and based on the other reviews I suspect the same for the wii.

bad physics bad tables November 6, 2009
Bryan Hoffart (OMGWTFBBQ)
this is bad game, the graphics are poor, the physics are poor and the tables are uninspired. For made up tables that aren't trying to emulate 'real' pinball tables, these are pretty bland and the graphics are this ugly pix-elated looking , the DS version is worse, waste of money on both, a good example of the shovelware made for the most popular console this generation, [...]
