Looking for CASUAL fun, here in the digital world of Pinball no quarters or dollars are needed. With Williams Pinball you expect the ball to go to it's home, if the ball doesn't want to go home you can scream, yell and bounce the disobedient ball into compliance, not required, might just be better to enjoy the journey in 2D or 3D game play. Digital Pinball has come along way, try it and find out.

The Williams tables play really well, the music simulation is pretty solid, and the extra models you can unlock are a nice touch. This is the best Zen has done yet.

I'm correcting this review after being informed that the arbitration clause was present from the beginning, and I had apparently missed it the first time. That's a strike for me, but that said: if you don't want to accept arbitration clauses, avoid this game for its EULA. Otherwise, I'd say it's a really great pinball platform with a ton of tables including originals and classics (some, obviously, better than others). Previously I would have gladly recommended this game, but as of August 16, Zen Studios decided to update their EULA to include a binding arbitration clause. This is unacceptable, especially after having put so much time and money into the title only to be effectively locked out after the fact because of a new, objectionable EULA, unless I commit to playing in offline mode through Steam. Shame on Zen for such a stupid move. At the very least they could update the client to allow local-only play so I don't have to accept bad terms without warning. Until that happens (or the EULA is reversed), I'm calling this title a no-go.

It's a good alternative to setting up VPX if you want to practice a ruleset before trying out real tables. The tables created by the developer aren't very good (Compare Stern's Deadpool and Jaws to this one). The classics are near perfect recreations, but have quirks that are easily learned to get higher scores. If you live somewhere without good pinball alleys, then this is a solid alternative. I like it a good bit. Edit: The game erased all of my scores from the online leaderboards and has been frequently crashing on me. No error codes. No reasons. It was especially frustrating when I was getting close to recovering one of my lost scores on a table I was grinding and the game shut down on me out of nowhere. Can't expect much from a company that makes you buy a table twice depending on the version of the game you bought. If you care about scores, don't. Fix your game, Zen. Seriously. 8/10 for people who want virtual pinball, but you don't get a good thumb from me! >:( Edit: I play real tables. These tables are absolute dogsh*t. The physics do NOT match up with reality. Any other program that emulates pinball (illegal or otherwise) plays better than this trash. Screw this game. Call me salty, but this is not an enjoyable pinball experience. Edit: I wrote that last part while I was drunk and angy. The tables are fine for learning, but are no equivalent to real tables. However, real tables cost money, and each of these tables are five bucks at full price, even less if caught on sale. Despite the issues with Zen having terribad servers, I'd say it's an alright experience. I've surpassed all my old high scores since then, even though they don't matter in the slightest. I'll stop being a baby about it and give the good thumb back, but Zen still sucks for their garbage servers.

Great digital pinball game. Although the physics are nowhere near real-life pinball, you can have hours of fun with this game.
