Art of Pinball HD - iOS

Keen eye, spotting all of these. I had no idea that the tables in the Art of Pinball series were such blatant ripoffs.

'Blatant ripoff' is a little harsh IMHO, i'd say they were inspired by those tables.
The artwork and game rules are totally different. And they left out the drop targets, spinners and kick out holes.

I'm a sucker for EMs so this one was an insta-buy. It's almost worrying that I play less and less TPA in favor of Rob-o-bot and now this one...but too bad there are no drops and the ball feels like the lightest plastic. Argh, so close. For now, I'll stick to RBB.

So, and if we want to give Art of Pinball a try, which table should we buy?

Give Speed King a try, but wait with buying, try to get used to the feeling...but with the standard ball it feels like a toy.

I downloaded the iPad demo. Sorry to say but I think this is crap! Funny for kids perhaps.. The physics are strange and there is a very anoying glow on the ball. The graphics are not bad, but this is not my cup of t.

The physics may be a little off, but it's consistent and not 'tuned'. It doesn't feel like 'pinball on rails'.
And the ball texture shows something other pinball simulators don't simulate: Rotational momentum of the ball.
The tables are simple in design but hard to master.

The 'Art of Pinball - Table Pack' App is on sale right now for $.99 / €.89.

Tables look is nice but play like a babytoy, no offense but just my opinion, the ball feels like a plastic pingpongball and the physics engine definently needs work.

this art of pinball pack app costs quite some cash with 5 ball option, flipper and ball pack included, if ask wants to meet proff pinball standards ( Zaccaria is getting there ), they should put some serious work into the art & age of pinball series.
