As good as a real pinball? No. But is Call of Duty the same as being in a real war? No but still fun.
I have about 49 games on mine mostly DMD games, a few older and a few Pinball FX2 games, some of which are a lot of fun, more fantasy stuff on them.

Feel of the game is definitely improved with force feedback stuff, contactors for solenoids, motor and shaker. Flashing lights ???
Quality of the look and feel of the game depends on the designer and your settings. You can change the appearance quite a bit in those settings. You can also change flipper settings pretty easily if you don't like the way they are working. Some games play really well and there are often several versions of a game to chose from. The night time MM is really good in appearance and play. Most of us can't have 50 games. I have 5 the digital pin being one of them. It was also a fun project.

Agree you can't make it not flat, it is a TV. But then again you watch sports on a flat TV, you watch TV on a flat TV, you play video games on a flat TV.

Would I prefer to have a real Medieval Madness, Funhouse, AC/DC, Flintstones, Guns and Roses, Tails of the crypt, Black Knight 2000, and 40 other games? Absolutely but I can't so this will do. I don't play this more than my real games, but I do play it and when company comes over it is played a lot. For a 7 year old nephew that loves cars, can't get him to stop playing Corvette
