Hello, I have Pinball Arcade meself and I love it. I find it allot better than going out to find the games. Most of the games in there I never even herd of before. There's not much in the way of pinball around here so being able to play a pinball gave whenever I want is fun.
I'm not one who notices all the tiny details and stuff. I just play to have fun and kill time. Main reason I love it is I don't have to pay per play. just a 1 time fee to buy it. I don't have the money or space to ever own a real pinball machine. I don't care about the pro menus and stuff I just have fun with it. I have no idea how close it is to the real thing but it's never bothered me. it's the only way I can really play pinball.
One of the other thing I like about it is you don't have all the extra noise from all the motors and switches and stuff, only the sounds needed to be heard can be heard. Overall I think it's allot of fun and a great thing to have. Maybe it's not perfect but for a casual player like me it's as good as the real thing and I like the way the camera stays with the ball.
Thanks =}
