[QUOTE="AstroStrat89, post: 455, member: 58"] Just my experience... I worked at a pizza place for several years and spent a lot of time on the different pinball machines that came in. Black Knight 2000, Adams Family, Whirl Wind, Funhouse, and others. My absolute favorite was Taxi, maybe a bit simplistic for some but I though it had perfect balance. Anyway, When Pinball Hall of Fame came out I snatched it up for PSP and eventually Xbox 360 and the feel for Taxi was so spot on, it was amazing. It really felt right, the ball did all the same things I remember. The other game were spot on too, but Taxi really hit home to me. Fast forward a year or two and I get an iPad 2 and eventually I come across Zen Pinball and Sorcerer's Lair. And among all the other pinball games out there it felt "right" to me. It's a great fun table to play and I played it a lot waiting on Pinball Arcade. Fast forward again. Pinball Arcade is released for iPad, I was one of the early folks who had issues getting the tables. And I have to say the 1st time I played Arabian Nights I was a bit disappointed, the ball didn't feel right to me at all. To confirm I went back to my Xbox and the ball feel quite a bit differnt then the iPad version. iPad version seems a lot more "floaty and bouncy" the Xbox version. It's pretty obvious on the ball launch they the are not the same. I've never played Arabian Knights as a real table so I am not sure which one is closer. All Have to go on is that the Xbox and PSP versions of Taxi are real close to what I remember. I've gotten used to the changes in feel, but it seems it's a lot easier to catch the ball on Xbox then iPad. I'm hoping Taxi will eventually make on iPad, and then I'll really be able to tell any differences. [/QUOTE]
