The realism is uncanny as the ball behaves as it would in a real machine, with the sounds, lights ...it's just a great experience. I've experienced no problems with any of the tables so I'm a little confused with some of the other comments. There is a slight lag when selecting which tables you want in the three spots though, but that's about it. Also in response to one of the earlier comments, you can actually adjust the table height and distance from you in the settings so you can get a pretty close view of the action without having to bend down, I found it more enjoyable this way.
