Pinball HD Collection Reviews

I have had this game since I was a kid and I have loved it for many years. But there’s a massive error with the game, one that completely ruins my enjoyment. When I go to buy a pinball table, or even buy all the pinball tables when the offer shows up, a pop up says, “product not found. Item not available in PinballHDCollection Store. Try again later.” I’ve tried again later numerous times and I get the same result. You need to fix this as soon as possible. You haven’t updated the game in five years meaning you are either dead or have given up on the game, but please, if you’re alive, fix this. I want to play the games.

Just downloaded and first game out, the ball comes to the right flipper and I touch the flipper and it doesn’t go, I touch the other flipper and it goes and after the ball rolls down between the flippers I touch the right flipper and it goes. Sum Ting Wong

Ok, I downloaded the last table down and same problem. The right flipper doesn’t work but only when the ball is near. When it is away but I can touch the right flipper it works. Sum Ting Willy Wong, Wally! Houston, we got a problem! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!!

I've had this game for quite a while and purchased all the tables, but RedPlanet is the worst alpha version of a game I've played. It randomly freezes, loses balls on the feed at the top and last time, took six restarts of the table to get it work. It's unfortunate to spend money on someone else's bug trials, but I really feel like this is the case. The Tanks table is a rehash of the Navy Seals tables -- don't bother. The pitch on the Pirates table is so high that, like on the Halloween table, if you don't save the ball when it's headed to the chute, there's almost no chance of a table bump to save it. A few tables are great, but I've played the game long enough to give a pretty accurate account.

Update, two years later. Bug still not fixed. Developer? No, they don't answer support emails. They'll take your money, though. Honestly, if I hadn't already paid for it all, I would look elsewhere. This table still isn't fixed. The Mafia table has similar issues where it locks up. It's all flash for your cash. Don't bother.

Has anyone had problems with this? I downloaded it onto my iPhone which is a 13 pro, and I love all the tables , but I can’t purchase anything. I find one pinball game I really like and I can’t purchase any tables lol. Every time I try and purchase it says “item not available in PinballHDCollection Store please try again later” . So I can basically play one table that is free , and the other 19 or so I can play one ball for a bit until it tells me I have to purchase , which I can’t? Any work around ?

I really like this game. The gameplay is solid and realistic, while maintaining a level of fun. The board looks good and in general, this is a good pinball game. My problems start with board selection. You only have one board, and have to pay to unlock them. I’d be fine with that, BUT, it’s $30 to unlock all the boards. I’m not paying that. Another one of my complaints are the ads. If you don’t turn off WIFI or Data, you get ads randomly. This would be fine if it was after the game was over, or even in between balls. The Ads pop up while the ball is in play. Then when the ad closes, there is no countdown like there is when you pause the game. You pop back in and it makes it hard to play when spontaneously interrupted. My final complaint is at the end of the game. Every time you play, it asked you to type in a name for your scoreboard. That would be a good feature if it was only when you got a high score, but it’s not. It’s every single game. And if you aren’t on game centre, it’s only your name on the board.
In conclusion, this game is good, but needs some tweaks.

Great pinball simulation but every time I got to purchase a table it gives me an error message that it is not available on PinballHDCollection Store. What’s up with that? Have deleted and reinstalled PinballHDCollection several times. Just seems to be stuck in demo mode forever. Guess they don’t want my money very badly. Other than that, PinballHDCollection is probably the best pinball game available. Just wish I could actually buy it and be able to play it more that 60 seconds at a time.

I loved playing this game, but something went weird with the Deep and the Di Vinci tables—now if you hit a certain spinner the score starts running up and doesn’t stop and doesn’t have anything to do with what you’re doing in the game. Those were my favorite tables and now it doesn’t matter how you play— you can’t be good or bad because the score just runs. I also missed the voices.

Many of the tables are great, and you can get the Duo controller for less than $9 right now on clearance, which helps a lot with bumps. However, content was stripped from some of the tables when they were collected in this “HD Collection” app. For example, in the War Pinball tables, the voiceover and all of the backdrop video clips were removed from the tables, I guess to save space. Download the individual apps instead to get the full content on each table. Luckily, if you purchase a table in one app, it automatically shares between all of them.

I love pinball, I really do. I've bought 4 tables already and this is so much fun. I have one problem though. I've had to re-download this once already because Platoon and Da Vinci totally glitched out. Platoon one day told me I had to download it again so I tried 17 times but the bar wouldn't even fill up. Then Da Vinci pinball went haywire and just kept clicking all the bumpers and targets on and off at once and the ball wouldn't load. Please fix these problems.

I’m very glad this pinball game has all the previous titles under one roof, but with even with the three war movie games I already have on the HD Collection, the game stops, says it needs to update in order to play on the current software, and goes back to the main menu. It’d be much better if we could own all the pinball games and not have to blow $25 dollars in order to play everything. Please fix/update soon.

Unfortunately the ad free app is unavailable, although I am constantly being offered the "unavailable" app. The game itself is very realistic and fun, but whoever owns this is missing a lot of dollars from sales and simultaneously frustrating users and potential paying customers.

The game is great and I am so glad it is back in PinballHDCollection store! I don’t know if it is my ipad or what but the power or speed in which the ball moves around seems to be increasing as I play. It isn’t a setting I’ve changed and I’m not sure what it is - my scores are actually higher because of the speed at which the ball moves… it just isn’t realistic and at the beginning it is -

I don’t know if that makes sense but that is the best I am able to explain it. I am otherwise enjoying playing again.

I’ve loved this pinball app for years, on both iPad and my iPhones. Only problem I’ve noticed lately is the voices no longer work! I’ve got the sounds enabled in PinballHDCollection , but the voices on The Deep and the Slayer pinball etc no longer play! Wish the devs would fully update PinballHDCollection to work properly again. Still love playing it. I get all the new boards.

Smooth ball movement, fun story lines, atmospheric art and music, and exciting game play. Da Vinci is one of the best iOS games ever! Great contraptions moving and operating, and a glorious finish. Also excellent: Jungle Style, and Pirates. Some games are unfinished and buggy, like Vikings and Red Planet, but are still fun to play. You can buy “extras” to extend game play. As an average Joe player i had to do that to finish. I wonder what happened to the original designers?

Truly happy that Gameprom has continued updating the pinball collection over the years. Absolutely one of my favorites to play whenever I have downtime to enjoy gaming. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys playing Pinball. You’ll enjoy this collection for sure. My favorite is still Wild West, but all the tables are hours of fun.

Every time I go to play the tables I purchased and I have to restore them from app. Why? Now I am trying to download them again and it says they are restored but they don’t work, says I have to download and now says it doesn’t exist to download. Never buying anything from PinballHDCollection again,

I own quite a few pinball games and these games in Pinball HD are without question the best and most entertaining I have run across yet. Zombie Attack especially stands out as a superb game. My only criticism would be that the programmers should change the flippers on Da Vinci to white or regular flippers so that I could see them. Being camouflaged makes it especially hard to play the game and not as much fun. That is my only beef. I really wish you would either make that change or make a choice of flippers user configurable.

I was a bit skeptical about pinball on a mobile device but this has an authentic action and feel. It's well worth it. Amazing action with realistic physics. You turn off your device mid-game and ball resumes where is rolling at the time. It works well on my iPhone and iPad with a very retro feel. The closest thing to a classic arcade.

This a great game to play if you enjoy play pin ball,, it will definitely give you a blast to the past,, I'm sure you remember those days at the game room when you was a teenager ! It sure is a great way to pass time by an also to see who can get the best score ! Hope y'all enjoy the game as much as I do !

This is one of the best in PinballHDCollection Store and it is reasonably priced, you can get many hours of play without having to spend extra money which is also a plus. I wish that there was a way they could score based on regular gameplay as opposed to being able to continue forever based on how much money you're willing to put in. I know that there are really good people out here that can get insanely high scores but some of the scores on these tables are just way beyond what someone would be able to score on the regular old pool table throwing quarters in. That said I still give it five stars for gameplay and creativeness of the tables.
