By all accounts, this is one of if not the best pinball games ever created. Classic tables, great physics and camera angles. On the WII, it's a budget title, only costing a scant $20. But the game has a huge following now because it is so accurate and well made. The only complaint seems to be the graphics, which are good, but the 360 could sharpen up those real easily. The game is made by crave, who has put out some games on the 360 already (world championship poker), so it's baffling why this isn't released. Could it be because Pinball FX is a fairly popular title and MS is once again porking us over in favor of more profits? I need an answer. Here's a review

Maybe they didn't want to invest in the dev kits.
The game is great and should be on the 360.
DLC tables would be good income for the company that does it right.
Pinball FX tables seemed short.

I'd rather see an update on the Classic Pinball Construction Set:

Maybe via XNA...?

it drives me nuts I see it at target for $20 every time I go in there. It is the one game I would play all the time
Is the developer still Farsight Studios?

The first pinball game to feature Medieval Madness gets my money.

I just shot an email over to the guy at CRAVE. I asked him nicely if they could port the game over. Catch more bees with honey i figured

I have this for my WII and it is an incredible game. Funhouse is my all time favorite pinball game (brings back memories of my college days).
I'm interested in hearing what response you get from the developer as better graphics would make this game a bit more enjoyable. Playing on a 92" projection screen really brings out the flaws in the graphics. An Xbox and/or PS3 version would be awesome.

Agreed. I have Pinball FX for 360 and Williams for the Wii... and it's frustrating deciding which one to play: bad physics and weird tables in HD -- or awesome physics, original tables and muddy Wii graphics....

just had a lengthy session of Pinball Hall of Fame for the WII with my niece. It is truly a great game. But holy smokes it's tough to go to the WII graphics from the ultra sharpness of the 360. This game could truly shine if ported over. Why wouldn't they? Or that other pinball game other people rave about on here, I think it's pinball construction set or something
edit: oh by the way, my email went unreplied. Maybe they're hard at work on the port
