Well, just tried it (TOTAN table).

Looks great, it really does - the active camera and viewpoint are better than Pinball FX. Unfortunately the triggers are the default controls (this can be changed) which is basically the worst idea ever. There's way too much deadzone in the controls so you'll miss flips all the time, switching to LB/RB fixes this.

The ball moves too fast, and is too heavy - like the incline is at 9 degrees or something. I owned a TOTAN for a while, one in absolute tip top shape. I *never* had SDTM from the left orbit shot even once, but it's happened twice in Pinball Arcade in 2 games. Shot the ball through the left side of the ramp twice too. Oh dear.

Quoted from DCFAN:

Is it me or do the flippers seem a tad slow to respond.
I never had that feeling on the Williams collection.

It's because they mapped them to triggers by default, which are analogue, and there's a deadzone. On the 360 version at least in the options you can switch it to shouldet buttons.

That's the least of the games problems though, the physics are just plain wrong - ruins the tables which look accurate and well lit.

How can it be fixed in PS3?
Do you mean the flipper button mappings?
If so, you go into Options and there is a setting to change it. On PS3 they have it set to the shoulder buttons which is the way I feel it should be. No change required!
It just feels the flippers are a little slow to react with L1/R1.

Oh - if the PS3 has them correctly by default, it's just because of the physics - the ball runs off the inlane way, way too fast. I never played a video pinball game I enjoyed less than this one, due to the physics - it's like theres a powerful electromagnet at the foot of the game.
