![]() ![]() I'm not saying getting emulating the physics of this is remotely easy, but if you can't do it right then don't bother doing it at all. Alas, Pinball HD gets both of them wrong, the flippers on some tables seem insanely long and thin, and on all of them they seem to slow. Madness! It's All About the Physics When you have a game with essentially two dominant mechanics, a heavy metal ball and a small number of flippers that can either be turned on or off, and not much else, it's important to get these right. Yet I couldn't see Platoon, Navy Seals and Missing in Action as being options to buy in the paid release, and BFMV in the free one. So whilst in theory you can try the free version, then buy the two tables that come with the paid for version, this costs you more than just buying the paid one. However it seems some IAP tables are available in one and not the other, which seems nothing but stupid to me. Both free and non-free versions include the Wild West table unlocked, the paid version adds The Deep and Jungle Style tables on top of that. Unlike Zen tables, you actually get to try these before you buy, though I'm not exactly sure even after playing a few what the mechanics of how long it lets you play them for are. Both offer in-app purchases so you can get more tables for around the £1.49 to £1.99 mark, making them comparable to the higher priced Zen tables. ![]() Free or Not Free Confusion Right, okay, there are two apps currently on the appstore from the same company, one called Pinball HD which costs money, the other Pinball HD Collection which is free. Which leads me nicely onto Pinball HD by OOM Gameprom, and also Pinball HD Collection by the same people. I want something that feels enough like I'm playing a real machine, and looks good. But how to define that? Quite easily I think, its mostly about control and feel, and a little bit about how it looks. ![]()
