The voice IS Steve Buscemi. I remember seeing his name after checking out the credits. You DO realize that I own a copy of the game which means that I could check and confirm this for myself....so that part I will take back, Buscemi to my shock and amazement actually voiced for this game (makes me wonder how much Disney had to pay to convince him)...as for everything else, sorry, I'm sticking to what I've said already....a spin off is still a spin off and a frustrating game will still be just that....I did order a new copy of a set of MI games known as the Wreck Arcade...I guess compared to Pinball Panic, we'll see how they stack up.

If I'm not mistaken, "Pinball Panic" IS part of the three-game "Wreck Room Arcade", the other two being a billiards game featuring Sulley(Eight Ball Chaos") and a bowling game featuring Mike("Bowling For Screams"). Three games starring the three main monster characters showcasing what their particular favorite "Wreck Room"(rec room)games happen to be. pitbulllady

The set I bought only has three games called Monster Tag which shows Roz on the cover, Scream bowling or something like that with Mike, and Eight ball crazy which features Sulley. While Pinball Panic is part of these series of games, it is not featured in this particular set, according to what I read on other game related sites and what little reviews I could find, Pinball Panic was never released by itself, it was only released with other MI related games but the set I purchased doesn't have it packaged in there and the pack I bought is new. I also read on other sites that rumor has it that if you have all four of the games of the Wreck Arcade series, having all four on your computer should unlock a fifth game that was never released in a set at all or at least not to the best of my knowledge.

my friend, Morgan, has pinball panic, but we have to trade something, and with my life in ruins and I got into even WORSE trouble than before, I don't think I'll be able to find anything.

I had said in a previous post that you needed all four of the wreck arcade games in order to unlock the fifth one...that actually isn't true. You only need the three that I had bought (Monster tag, Bowling for screams, Eight ball crazy) in order to unlock the secret game called Monster Mania. Having Pinball Panic on your computer unlocks nothing.

Having Pinball Panic on your computer unlocks nothing. You WOULD know that the ONE game featuring Randall(especially in a positive light)would do nothing, and be useless insofar as unlocking that other game. What is "Monster Mania" like? I've never heard of it, actually, probably because you can't get it on a disc like the others. Lemme guess...Randall is either not in it at all, or he's once more cast as nemisis of wonderful, perfect Mike and and Sulley and a threat to poor little Boo. Hopefully I'm wrong on both accounts. pitbulllady

Hopefully I'm wrong on both accounts. pitbulllady I'm going to ignore the first part of your post because you're not a gamer so in reality, I don't expect you to understand how stuff like UNLOCKABLE CONTENT works. As far as the second part of it is concerned, NONE of the main monster cast is featured in this unlockable game known as Monster Mania. In fact, the character you play as is a look alike to the first monster featured in the film period but he doesn't look exact so I'm not going to think that it's him. The game is basically a sad version of Donkey Kong (the arcade, not the SNES series) in which you the monster has to scare a set number of kids through their windows but there is a catch to the point of this game, a lot of them to be exact. You can't scare the kid when the light is on, you have to watch out for flying objects being thrown at you through other windows, you have to watch out for dogs and for random crawling babies. Dogs can bite your character which will cause you to lose a life or fall down a ladder. Babies will hug you which is an automatic fall down a ladder and sometimes deducts a life. You have a time limit in order to get the set number of scares. There are once again two play modes consisting of scary and horrifying, while the harder mode does add some challenge, it's still the same dang thing you're dealing with. Controls in this game are very frustrating especially since you have to get your monster in front of the window just right or you can't scare the kid, along with that, instead of one button that scares period, you have two which one is for scaring the kid and one is for growling at enemies such as the dog but growling at the babies does absolutely nothing! Clearly Monster Mania was designed just to be an extra unlockable and an incentive in order to purchase the main wreck room games (Monster Tag, Bowling for Screams, and Eight Ball Crazy) since all of these games were individually packaged by themselves as well as in a set. While it is true that you hear Mike's voice talking in the background, you only hear him talk when you start a level, when you get a game over, or when you finish the level but considering that one of my peeves in relation to the Wreck arcade series was characters talking too much then I'm not bothered by this as far as sound goes...unfortunately the same can't be said for music, you get one tune only and it's not even a very enjoyable one. Also, I had read on a GAMING website that having all four games would unlock something, just like all websites, gaming websites can get things such as cheat codes, walkthroughs, and unlockables wrong! Unlockables are harder to find to be correct because depending on the requirements, if you already have them then it's an automatic unlock which may lead you never knowing how you unlocked something in the first place.

Not sure why I'm bringing this topic back to life but over the past few days, it kind of occured to me that the topic of unlockable content or unlockables as some gamers also call it may be a strange one so I'm doing just a basic definition just so for those who don't know will understand what they are.
Unlockable content is basically as it is, it is extra content that can be unlocked in the game for mostly about two reasons. 1. Items that could help the gamer progress through gameplay or
2. Just extras for the gamer to see or enjoy.
Most of the time, unlockable content is unlocked by fufilling certain requirements such as getting all A rank in a Sonic game for example. Another way to unlock content can relate to what games you have or in a case of a handheld, what games you can connect to it or what file you have on your memory card.
Another form of unlockable content (though personally I don't think these count) is items you can purchase in a game with either points or some form of currency for the game. Items like this can once again be stuff to help you through game play or just to enjoy.
Unlockables can sometimes be unlocked through cheat codes or cheat systems (like Auto replay or Game shark as a few examples) but most of the time, you don't really unlock stuff permantly this way but since I don't use cheat code system stuff, that I can't be quoted on, the regular cheat codes though...yeah, unlock something that way, turn off the game, and it goes back to normal.
So here is the basic definition...so to those who wondered on the topic, here you go, also my apologies for my last post in here...I shouldn't have remarked in that way to someone who doesn't play or isn't into stuff that I'm into. It's stupid to assume certain things so my apologies once again.
