Best Pinball Game on iPhone?

[Jibba]

I'm in the mood to purchase a quality pinball game for my iPhone (no iPad yet). I'm not particularly looking to spend top dollar but don't expect a great pinball game for $.99. I'm a total noob as far as pinball games go, so I don't really know what I'm looking for. I think the AC/DC pinball game got my attention and got me thinking about pinball but I don't know if that's any good, aside from having AC/DC blaring as the soundtrack. Also, it seems that many iOS pinball games have low initial prices but then charge for all the tables separately. This kind of annoys me but isn't a deal-killer for me. Lastly, I don't know if I want arcade style or realistic, but I'm a noob so feel free to give me all the basic advice you are willing to give (i.e., what in your opinion makes a pinball game good on iOS?). Thanks.

Rob-o-bot is a Pinball sim. Only one table. No IAP for extra tables although if they made more I'd consider purchasing them.
It's the only pinball game I have on iOS and it's on sale for $.99 at the moment. I'm not sure about other pinball games.

For arcade style Frogger pinball is pretty good. It's made by the people who did Metroid pinball for gameboy. I think there's a free lite version you can check out.

Revenge of the Rob-O-Bot

It's one table done very well.

I can vouch for all of these. If you don't have any nostalgia for either real-world pinball or old computer game pinball Zen is probably the best bet.

Collections

Pinball Arcade
Recreations of real world tables. Starter table Tales of Arabian Nights is great.

Zen Pinball
Fantasy tables including various Marvel comics licenses. The free starter table Sorcerer's Lair is excellent.

Age of Pinballs
Tables are a little simple (and at the same time odd) compared to the above but still fun. Very nice graphics engine scratches on upper glass etc.

I haven't played this much since Pinball Arcade came out but used to be my main iOS pin. Very charming old school game. Good music.

Tristan
Pioneer game from early 90s. Sparse table actually a plus on small iPhone screen.

Stand-Alone Tables

Crystal Caliburn II
Wonderful game one of the all time greats.

Revenge of the Rob-O-Bot
Just released recently terrific game.

I love pinball games on OS. My fave is Pinball Arcade as it's pretty close to the real thing. I have a few others but as soon as I got the above they became redundant.

Excellent recommendations, Crystal Caliburn is my favorite one. I would also vastly recommend the Last Gladiators tables, they're on the pricier side if you buy them all but their physics are spot on and theyre a blast to play.

Worth it? For 1 table....?
£1.99? Really?

You should choose between Zen Pinball and Pinball Arcade. These are the popular ones. I have both of them on my iDevice but the IAPs are pricey for me :/

Worth much more. The single most amazing pinball table for iOS. It's THAT good. Really. I haven't been playing anything else, for days.
