Okay, let's start with the control scheme. You use the Wiimote and Nunchuck for this game. The right and left flippers are controlled with the B button and the Z button respectively. The plunger is operated via the control stick on the nunchuck. Those are really all you need to know, all the other buttons do minor actions (2 is camera scheme, shake the controller for a tilt, press control pad for a nudge). It works very well, and although the nunchuck might be unecessary (the Wiimote on its side may have worked, too) it still provides for fun gameply.
Now that's said, I can get into detail on the tables. As previously stated, the game has 10 different tables from a variety of time, giving you everything from basic fields to mutliple flippers and ramps every which way. A complaint I have is that the new tables tend to outshine the old ones because they are so basic. While the last four or five are full of ramps and crazy multiple flippers, the old ones only tend to have bumpers and drop targets to hit. Still, the new ones are exciting and bring back those long lost memories of playing pinball with a bunch of friends.
To do's in the game include matching goals for each table which take a lot of talent. Multiplayer modes include freeplay and tournament mode where you get points for your score at the end of a table. The game also includes instructions which give you every detail on how to score points and includes the original flyers for the machines. It's really a fabulous collection of everything you would ever want to know about these selected pinball machines. I'd give the game a definite 8 because of some lack of graphic power and some outshining tables, but otherwise it makes a really solid pinball experience.
