7/14/2023 0 Comments Zen pinball 2 reviews![]() Zombies, but had a hard time getting any momentum on the South Park tables. There is little rhyme or reason to my obsessions. I enjoyed Plants Vs. In the Universal Pictures collection, I've been having a great time with Jurassic Park Mayhem, but have hardly touched Jaws - which is a table based on my favorite film of all time. I loved the Fallout and Elder Scrolls tables from the Bethesda collection, but barely gave Doom the time of day. I'm not sure why I lock in on some tables and reject others, but when they get me, they get me. But at the same time, the old Iron Man table left me utterly, bitterly defeated I could never get the rhythm down, and it seemed like my ball would just bounce around on the bottom half of the table for a minute or two before sputtering down the drain. I was great at the Spider-Man table back in the day, and I could keep a run on the X-Men table going for what seemed like hours on the Xbox 360. But there have been Zen tables that I've come close to mastering. I'm not a pinball player in real life most of my experience comes from whatever random table I happen across in a pizza joint, so I've never had the opportunity to improve my skills in the meat world. I have to work hard to gain proficiency at every table I engage with my skills don't translate from one table to another. I can get into a "one more time" grove with a Zen table that lasts for hours, and I would be lying if I said that I hadn't made myself late for work more than once because I refused to stop during a good run (and I don't care what anyone says - pressing the pause button in the middle of a good game of pinball is the kiss of death.)Įvery table that Zen releases feels like a full new video game to me, full of mystery and Souls-level challenge. I would compare these games to hard drugs, but pinball is better than chemical addiction the high doesn't diminish over time. The value provided by Pinball FX's various past incarnations is inestimable. Zen Pinball 2 is set to include 26 unique themed tables and exciting multiplayer modes like local split-screen and hotseat multiplayer, online, and worldwide tournaments.My infatuation with Zen Studios' pinball games has been long, deep, and well documented. This downloadable content was reviewed using both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. If you’ve got any affection for pinball and/or the Avengers, this DLC for Zen Pinball 2 (PSN) or Pinball FX2 (XBLA) is a no-brainer buy. It’s unlike any table you’ve played before, and it’ll fill you with a childlike glee. Playing this table means you’ll have to contend with slowed-down time, inverted flippers, decoy pinballs, and even playing upside-down. Hearing classic Thanos quotes like “Away from me, you clowns!” is a hoot, but the real kicker comes with the table’s missions: each one revolves around the Infinity Gems, and the reality-warping effects they make possible. If you’ve ever read the comic, this table will be an absolutely blast every time you boot it up. They can be a bit intimidating for casual pin players, though – deciphering what’s going on at any given moment can be daunting when there are five blinking ramps around the playing field.īut the standout of this already-awesome pack is the Infinity Gauntlet table, telling the tale of Thanos and his mad lust for power, after acquiring a gauntlet socketed with six all-powerful gems. World War Hulk and the Avengers film tables play very similarly: with a ridiculous amount of ramps and loops to shoot for, skilled players will be able to chain combo after combo for big points. The other three tables are all based on comic runs of the same name: World War Hulk, The Infinity Gauntlet, and Fear Itself, each of which encompasses large-scale battles where the Avengers played a pivotal role. In a unique twist, each hero gets their own selectable steel sphere the costumed pinball you pick at launch will affect how the board plays out, which shots you need to make, and what voice clips you’ll hear. ![]() Iron Man’s suitably snarky, Captain America conveys a heroic selflessness, and Loki pompously stares you down from the back of the playing field. The headliner is the table themed after the Avengers feature-film though it may not have all the same likenesses or voice actors as the movie (which, let’s face it, would be stupidly expensive), the stand-ins do a great job to make you feel like you’re rolling with the six-strong squad of superheroes. For $10, you get four Marvel-themed pinball tables, all revolving around Earth’s mightiest heroes: the Avengers.
