Wizard Goals on Williams Collection: Pinball Hall of Fame

[lazmama]

Was anyone able to complete all the Wizard Goals on WCHOF?

Once I heard about TPA (in December...), I diligently went to work on completing all the goals on the Williams Collection and was able to complete all of them EXCEPT a Jive Time goal (4 extra balls through the West Gate) which seems near impossible to me.

How far did you all get and which Wizard goals still elude you?

I cleared them all on Wii long before the 360 release and then played through quite a few of them again on 3DS later after getting a copy as a gift. I didn't have the heart to do it all again on Xbox for the cheevos, but a friend of mine, like you, just polished off the last one before TPA released:

Yeah, I completed all the Xbox achievements as well - but Jive Time Wizard Goals are not listed as an achievement. Did you or your friend complete all the Jive Time Wizard goals?

I completed all of them on PS3 and got all the trophies as well.

1000/1000...still working on Jive Time. I think all that's left is the 4 from the west gate baloney one. Anyone manage to do this stupid goal? It seems outrageous.

I know I got all of the trophies on the PS3 version, but I recall the 360 version being more like TPA in terms of having to get all of the Wizard goals for each table for separate achievements, which was much harder. I don't think I ever was able to finish BFTK in Medieval Madness, and I think there were a couple others (Sorcerer and Taxi) that I didn't get either. I did reach the Sun in Pinbot, which is probably the hardest thing to do in the whole game. I never want to try to do that again on TPA unless this version is easier...damn, that table was a drain monster on PHOF.

Battle for the Kingdom, Video Mode and PinBot's reach the Sun where the only wizard goals remaining for me in WPHOF (not counting Jive Time because I hate that table.. )

Can't wait for MM to appear and get all wizard goals..

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

Honestly, starting Battle for the Kingdom would have been a sufficient wizard goal for MM. I've only ever finished it once, on the real table, back when I was in college and could devote lots of time to pinball. (We will not speak of my performance on a real MM last weekend, other than to say my game has gone to rust!) Despite the slow ball, easier nudging and ultra-liberal tilt on the Williams Collection - all of which should have made it easier - I never managed to finish BftK on the 360.

Maybe I should pop the disc back in and give it another go...but WC physics are so painful to deal with after playing TPA...

I need Battle for the Kingdom and Rescue the Princess. I was able to rescue the princess once, but that was during the standard goals completion.

Just played TOTAN ealier today and rescued the princess, so down to the battle for the kingdom....

 

[Adam]

Man...not looking forward to BFTK again or reaching the Sun. Many hours of rage already spent on those two...I might bust an artery having to do it again. Wish I could get a free pass for already doing them on PHOF Easily the two meanest goals (not counting Jive Time's nonsense)...especially the Sun, since getting that special is pure luck.

 

[Rudy Yagov]

1000/1000 on 360. I don't have any real interest in Jive time, so I never bothered going for the Wizard goals. Got all the standard ones on it, though.

 

[Baintz]

I've only had this game for 10 days or so but I've been playing it to death (no PA in EU for PS3 yet). Still got a couple of wizard goals to get, not sure if I'll stick with them as they are highly annoying.

They are:

Pinbot - reach Jupiter, reach Sun and earn special. I am TERRIBLE and advancing through planets on either target, and the amount of outlane drains on this table is highly frustrating.
Sorcerer - Earn the special from S-O-R-C-E-R-E-R lights
Jive Time - 4 extra balls throught west gate, earn all backglass rewards.

BftK seemed really daunting at first, but once you get comfortable on MM, you should get it easy enough. Make sure you save 2 troll bombs, makes it much easier.


Dammit I want to play TPA so badly.

 

[Jim O'Brien]

Jive Time - 4 extra balls throught west gate, earn all six backglass rewards, and earn a 20,000 point bonus.
Pinbot - Reach the Sun and earn the special, did it on my PS2 copy, but never on the PS3.

Also I found Taxi earn a special from the backglass very hard to get, but did eventually get it. Hope they bring Sorcerer to TPA I'm still #4 all time and did not turn off tilt to get that score, I just had a real good game.

 

[Baintz]

I guess I got a lot better at controlling the ball after spending so long on MM because I went back and tried the wizard goals for Pinbot for Sorcerer and got them both pretty easily. Doubt I'll bother with Jive Time though, the table just isn't fun enough.

 

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

Man, that Jive Time is a tough cookie... Got all but the 100,000 Wizard goal... The table should be renamed as drainsville...

 

[HOW]

On PHOF:WC did anyone see this?

I understand from Comments it was on XB360.

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

Just broke through the 10,000 GamerScore by getting the Wizard goals on Firepower!

 

[gjarnling]

sorry if it's off topic but do anyone know where to get this game in Europe for PS3?

 

[brakel]

I thought I read on here that it was released last August on the Europe psn?

 

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

Not sure about PS3 version brakel - I know the PSP version was released on PSN, don't think I've seen it for PS3. It's just been re-released on Games on Demand on XBLA for 360 so maybe it will also get a release on PSN soon as well?
