Pinball fans that love the feel of a flipper button in their fingers should have a blast with this new effort. The already exquisite physics model is greatly improved, as is nearly every other aspect.

pp. 51–83.Empire Interactive, a major contender in the simulated pinball market after the release of Pro Pinball: The Web, follows up with Pro Pinball: Timeshock!, featuring a host of new features and a more in-depth storyline. ^ Flynn, James Owen, Steve Pierce, Matthew Davis, Jonathan Longhurst, Richard (July 1997).^ a b c d Allsetter, Rob (August 1996).^ a b Soete, Tim (September 26, 1996).^ a b c d e f Gerstmann, Jeff (December 1, 1996).^ a b c d e f g 'Review Crew: Pro Pinball'.^ a b 'Pro Pinball: Weaving a New Kind of Pinball'.^ 'Pro Pinball - The Web - Technical Specifications'.^ 'Compatibility - Pro Pinball: The Web - CodeWeavers'.The editors wrote, 'Nothing else has quite come close to Pro Pinball 's utterly convincing physics and slick presentation.' References The Web was named the 64th best computer game ever by PC Gamer UK in 1997. Reviewing the PC version, Tim Soete highly praised the game's realism and summarized that 'its high-resolution graphics and true table physics combine to make it one of the most immersive pinball titles out there.' Some also concluded that with only one table, the game would get old very quickly, though a reviewer for Next Generation remarked, 'While many developers have tried to wow gamers with multiple tables, Empire went the other way - giving the player one table, but doing it right.' Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot concluded that it 'is a convincing simulation of pinball, but it falls short when compared to other video pinball games.' Rob Allsetter of Sega Saturn Magazine assessed that 'All in all, this is a decent enough interpretation of the game itself, let down only by the exclusion of different table to variate the action a little', and Dan Hsu of Electronic Gaming Monthly said, 'It's a great board, but it'll get old real quick.'

While critics praised the realistic pinball graphics and physics and the wide variety of scoring opportunities, they criticized the voice samples and the absence of a directly overhead view. The PlayStation and Saturn versions received mixed reviews.
