![]() ![]() Out of the four tables in this DLC package, I had the hardest time with this one’s challenges. This table is very challenging, not only for the very steep ramps that need the perfect shot to complete, but even getting missions started and seeing Stark putting on the Iron Man suit is a rarity as well. ![]() ![]() Since the movie just came out, let’s begin with the Iron Man themed table. While there’s nothing wrong with the Biolab table, it simply didn’t amaze me like some of the tables I’m about to talk about it, and that’s ok, because there’s so much more interesting tables we need to go over.įirst up for the franchised tables is the Marvel Pinball Pack. Last in this pack is Biolab, which looks like it’s partly made out of actual lab equipment. This table is notorious for awkward bounces off some of the bumpers and angles, and if you’re not ready for a looping quick shot near the top of the table, you will lose a ball right down the middle. Pasha is an Arabian themed table that has great ambient music to go along with its Prince of Persia-like art style. Rome is another table that doesn’t look like there’s much to it, as there are only two main ramps near the top this is covered beautifully from top to bottom with fantastic Roman artwork, but that’s probably to try and distract you from the table’s difficulty and steepness. There’s even an upper playing field with separate flippers that you’ll use quite often for extra points, though there’s not much room to see when the ball is going to be there if you’re new to the table. Secrets of the Deep is an underwater themed table that blends in great audio effects with an octopus that’s draped over the side of the table and a ramp, though watch out for the steep ramps if you don’t hit them with enough speed the ball will come back down quite quickly if you’re not ready. Next up is the Pinball FX2 Core Collection that consists of four tables. Shooting specific ramps for the missions tended to be quite difficult even when trying to do so. Ramps look like exhaust pipes, fans spin, checkered flags to shoot for, and even an engine in the upper ramp levels to strive to get to. Lastly is V12, a table that looks like you’re playing inside of a vehicle engine itself. Shaman has a voodoo feel to it and uses a total of 6 flippers (three on the left and three on the right), yet I found myself losing balls on this table quite a lot down the side lanes. El Dorado boasts a very minimalistic approach with very few ramps and ‘extras’, though it does have a very fitting mayan-like soundtrack and feel to it. Tesla looks like it could have actually been invented by the famous engineer Nikola Tesla as the ramps and bumpers are covered in copper wiring and the bumpers at the top go off like an old single flash photograph like they did back in the olden days. Let’s start with the Zen Classics pack, as while you may have played them before, keep in mind that new and gorgeous graphic inlays have been added and new physics may make them feel like completely different tables. While I would assume everyone would know what the basis and premise of playing pinball is, as you need to use your flippers to launch and direct a steel ball along the playfield to accumulate the highest score possible, I’ll simply give a quick rundown of each table that is currently offered to give you some small insight of which DLC package would be right for your pinball needs. There’s a little something here for everyone even if you’re not the biggest Marvel or Star Wars fan, the tables themselves solely as a pinball game are wonderfully done by Zen Studios. Star Wars Pinball (Boba Fett, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back)įor most of the packs, each table works out to be $2.50 per, and the hours of entertainment you’ll get out of these packs is enormous, even for the casual pinball fan.(The Avengers, Fear Itself, World War Hulk, and The Infinity Gauntlet) (Ghost Rider, X-Men, Thor, and Moon Knight) (Blade, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Iron Man) (Pasha, Biolab, Rome, and Secrets of the Deep) As a side note, these tables were in the previous game, but have all been redone with newer graphics, ball physics, and more new features. ![]()
