The-Man-In-Black Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) I voted a 1. This had the potential to be a very difficult trophy set. But it seems that they half-assed it, and we ended up with one that's about as difficult as Hanna Montana. All you have to do is get on the top 5 of all the pinball machines, which is even easier than it sounds, and unlock freeplay mode on all the machines, which you'll pretty much do at random. There is nothing even remotely challenging to getting the trophies at all, which was probably intentionally done to increase sales. They could've made it harder. Each table has five "Table Goals" and once you achieve all of those, there are five much, much harder "Wizard Goals" that need to be accomplished. They could have done something like Achieve High Score For <table>, Complete all Table Goals For <table>, Complete the Williams Challenge, Complete all Wizard Goals for <table>. And yes, the game should have had a platinum. Had they done that, this game would've ranked a 9 instead of a 1. Jive time is particularly brutal, but the other tables' wizard goals are no cakewalk either. Edited December 28, 2009 by The-Man-In-Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olimpia84 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 After about 5 hours of play and a few trophies I can definitely say that this is not as easy as I thought it would be based on comments from people. I'm not going to rate the game until I get 100% but at this point I think my vote will be above 3 at the very least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olimpia84 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I finally got 100% in this game and I rate it a 5. Without the Williams challenge it would have been a 2 or 3. Getting the high scores trophies wasn't a problem but completing the Williams challenge was a pain in the butt since you can sometimes screw up even in a table you think you're good at. I'm really good at Medieval Madness and for some reason when I got there the other day I couldn't get past the 15 mill score...(I got up to 14.8 in my last attempt) and had the restart the whole thing Also, it was incredibly frustrating getting to the late tables since I suck at PinBot which is like the 3rd table and that's where I lost the most I'm really glad I've picked this up, it brought back good memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyLight Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I voted 3. The hardest trophy was the Williams Challange which took me three tries, once I made it all they way to end and lost, which kind of sucked. The high score trophies on each table might take a few tries with certain tables, but once you learn how the tables work it's a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sefjwm Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I actually rated this somewhat high. The highscores aren't bad but the William's Challenge can be a pain. Especially if you get really far and then choke on a table. Time to start over. I like PinBot as a table but I hate trying to beat the score for it in the Challenge. The outlanes on that table are brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ik00R Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 why the 50 post rule? i have 100% on this game, yes it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay to easy but still i wanna be in teh 100% club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KneeKnee Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have some serious high scores in this game, and only had a hard time getting the trophy for Space Shuttle but playing them all in a row was one rough challenge for me. Jive time took me one try. Every time I played I managed to epicly fail for 3 tries on a random level. Sometimes it was Pinbot, others Black Knight, and more often than not, Medieval Madness. Overall a very easy 100% with the major exception of the Williams Challenge, which took me forever so I voted 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satnamji Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I voted a 4. Though some tables were definitely challenging (Pinbot. Gorgar), once you learn them and the best camera angle it gets easy. Most bronzes I got on my 1st, 2nd or 3rd time playing a table. I practiced on all the tables until I felt I could get the minimum points for Williams Challenge "at will," though it still took me few attempts. I choked on Black Knight twice, before I realized I wasn't using the optimal camera angle (the only table I use camera 1). I really enjoyed this game and will continue playing to get the Wizard Table Goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug-E-Fresh1994 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Literally, The only tough one is beat the challenge, other than that its a one Final...4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNWv3 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Voted 2 because there are a few easier 100% games out there. Not many though. Great game independant of the trophies. I have one of the pins (Pinbot) from the game and it feels very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Doomstorm Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 the williams challenge and getting a high score on gorgar was the only hard part. i loved seeing the pinball tables i played as a kid remade. i hope for more!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrastas Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I sorry, but this game is not a 1 or a 2. Detuned is a 1. This game is not a detuned and it takes some practice and skills if you're not that good with pinball or get frustrated easily. Pinball games are generally designed to have a high probability of failure, since that's what keeps people pumping quarters into them. I'm giving it a 5. There are a few tables where the lowest high score is fairly tough to get to and took me an hour for each (Gorgar, Pin*Bot). Some are very easy to get the lowest high score. I actually got through the Williams Challenge on my first try, but only after playing for 3 hours straight and getting the bronze on every table but two (since the scores in the challenge are less than the lowest high scores you need). But it's necessary an easy trophy since it will take you about an hour to get through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruldra Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 This game had the potential to have a really good trophy set; going for the table goals is quite a challenge. But simply setting a high score is a joke. And the Williams Challenge is easy once you're familiar with the tables. I give it a 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abuebao Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I actually broke the mold here a bit and rated this game a 6/10. The Williams Challenge took me about 5 tries and some of the top scores took me 1 - 2 hours each to get. This is a very fun game though so I didn't feel too frustrated having to spend a little more time on it than I had planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeakerYouth Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I give it a 3/10. I started with the William's challenge and thankfully got it first try. Doing that first unlocked a few other high score trophies and saved a bit of time. Had trouble with 2 or 3 tables that each needed about 45 minutes to an hour of trying each, otherwise no major problems. Really fun game too.

Oskari14 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 2/10 I had no problems with the high scores and I beated the challenge at my first try. During the gameplay, I got credits and I completed many table goals, so I unlocked all the tables into free play pretty quick. I think, that we should get harder trophies. (but not as hard as Zen's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruldra Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think, that we should get harder trophies. Try completing the table goals if you want a challenge. Some of them are tough but not anywhere near Zen's silvers. They also help you learn the tables. Actually I'm trying to complete them and it's a lot of fun. Only 4 wizard goals left for me to get them all: Get 4 extra balls in Jive Time, advance to the sun in Pinbot, win Battle for the Kingdom and win Video mode in Medieval Madness.

Satnamji Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 If Williams for the PS3 had trophies equivalent to the 360 achievements set for this game (beating all the Basic and Wizard Table Goals), we'd be all griping about how hard this game is, rating it in the 8-10 range, and there'd be lengthy threads on how to get some of the tougher goals, like the Video Mode for Medieval Madness (I still don't know how to trigger it, let alone beat it! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruldra Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (I still don't know how to trigger it, let alone beat it! ) Spell FIRE eight times and shoot Merlin's hole, or get it from a Merlin's Magic random award. Once in the game, move the character left and right with the flippers to kill the crows. If a crow carries away one of the children, use the plunger to kill all crows on the screen. You can do that only once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruldra Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Medieval Madness isn't nowhere that easy to beat Cool video though, the part where the cam hits the trolls is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
