It's really not that bad. You can earn table mastery and special abilities by completing challenges on it. The physics can be hinky and true accuracy is a tricky affair, but that's half the appeal of real pinball. There are quite a few tables by now- and a decent selection of williams staples that are worth the asking price alone. The custom tables are hit-or-miss (Venom and Marvel's Avengers come to mind as having particularly unpleasant play-patterns, while I quite enjoy the campy Infinity Gauntlet and very unique Fear Itself tables.)

The multiplayer competition is a good time, too. It takes a match or two to calibrate but after that I found it did an exceptional job of putting me against player's scores that were within my reach. Victories feel like they give four steps forward, and losses feel like they give one step back. It's not discouraging to lose- not even a lot. That's nice.

It's a nice game.
