It's certainly pretty close, and still under development

You can try the free demo, try it and see if you like it!

I think it is. Pinball Arcade is good, but annoyingly buggy. Pinball FX3 is fun, but doesn't feel like real pinball, unlike Zaccaria Pinball. This game has perhaps the best physics.

just for me, Pinball Arcade was an experience that I couldn't wait to end. It's still in my inventory (I think ?), but it's not installed. Pinball FX3 is my favorite pinball game. You can adjust the physics, but not nearly as much as you can with Zaccaria. Do you have it? What about the demo?

IMO, Magic Pixel seems to be showing all of the right moves in bringing digital pinball to home platforms. They are putting continuous effort into this and overall it shows. But PFX3 has als done a tremendous job so far with the WMS license.

My only complaint is with the some of the modern-day remakes and retro designs-some shots on them don't feel right. It's a minor complaint for what are still earnest efforts.

Definitely has the best multiplayer mode.

Also one of the few pinball games where you can buy big bundles with a good discount on it and the price per table is great.

Really not, they aren't even close to the near 20 year old Pro Pinball. The ball still feels like it's made out of plastic, way too lightweight and bouncy. Nudging is also weird, mostly because of the ball weight. I mean the physics gut a whole lot better over time but saying that this are maybe the best physics of any pinball game is asinine.

What the game has over the others are the game modes that are really a lot of fun and the diversity of the tables (Pinball FX3 is just modern unrealism and Farsight never really appreciated EM's) and of course the fact that the people behind this work a lot on fixing bugs and releasing new content

[MrNuts70]

Its top three for sure but as for the best I think that's difficult becuase each of the popular ones are pretty different to this one. Either way its fun and if you like pinball its totally worth it. Ohh and you can play all the tables for a brief about of time which is awesome!

IMHO yes, far better than pinball arcade. OK - no "famous" tables, but the gameplay is better and there don't appear to be spoilers - eg Addams Family where the ball is thrown into the outlanes from suspicious and unlikely positions.

Fantastic Journey (last of the original Pro Pinball tables) - still best physics
Timeshock! (Ultra Edition) - best 'real' looking virtual table
Zaccaria Pinball - best overall package (physics, looks, adjustment options, game modes, high score lists)
Pinball FX3 - best 'video pinball' package
Pinball Arcade - at the moment still the best package for simulation of 1990s+ solid state tables

I would say yes, but then i play FX2 VR. I convince myself that im comparing apples to oranges, they're both great in what they do.

Spose the dream would be Timeshock in VR, but given i got zero of the backer rewards, i think there's zero chance of that:(

Pinball FX3 is the best of all the Pinballs.

It also has the best ball physics.
