In addition to feeling authentic the game is not afraid to push the designs of the tables themselves beyond what’s possible on a mechanical table moving parts, hidden areas and animated enemies are all common place here. Where Zen Pinball 2 excels is really nailing the feeling of playing on a real pinball table, the ball physics just feel right and it never felt unfair when a ball slipped through the flippers. Zombies they may have already hooked you in, and its surprising fun even when limited to a pinball table to play through these universes. As well as original themed tables there’s allot of use of known IP, so if you’re a fan of Marvel or Plants VS. Zen Studios has really pushed the boat out on creating some really creative, colorful tables each with a unique feel and set of features, thankfully each has its own guide letting you know what it has to offer and its own set of systems.

Controls are simple as expected flippers are controlled with either the triggers or shoulder buttons and the right stick to manually launch the ball, this can be achieved on both the GamePad and Pro Controller. The single player mode supports online leader boards and a basic achievement system, you can play on the TV or off TV play, and it’s a great game to jump between the two, which the game lets you do at any time by swiping up or down on the touch screen. One on the GamePad screen the other on the TV with a Pro controller, a mode that was very appreciated in this household. There’s also a mode which lets two people play at the same time. Whichever board you decided to play you are given these same generous options you can choose to play either by yourself or with up to three friends, letting you play a more traditional pass and play mode by passing the controller to the next person when you lose a ball. You will have to find your own way there with the home button and start searching. This would be awkward enough however the system fails to be able to provide a link to the item on the store or even a link to the storefront itself. When you select a table you don’t own, you are politely asked to visit the eShop to pay to unlock it. Now I feel bad bringing this up as I feel the developers where working with a limited platform out of there control, but it does ultimately affect the user experience. If you don’t want to be restricted on your playtime you will need to purchase the individual tables, however this is an issue in itself.
Zen pinball 2 3d trial#
The game is essentially a pinball platform where after a free download you can trial various tables. The first thing to mention about Zen Pinball 2 is it breaks the mould, at least for console in terms of content distribution. I will leave a Plants vs Zombie gameplay video from PAX.Zen Studios has already delivered pinball joy to the Nintendo 3DS with Zen Pinball 3D and now they grace the Nintendo Wii U with fine-tuned pinball goodness. They also have Marvel themed tables, and a few other random tables as well. So to download the game itself is free, and you get some trial tables. It truly is a showcase for what 3D gaming should be.

My wife, who is a 3D skeptic at the very least (translation = she hates it), was even impressed by how good the 3D is. The whole concept of a pinball table just lends itself perfectly to 3D. I can say pretty confidently this is probably the best 3D I have seen in any game to date. Now if you happen to be one of the minority who owns a 3D TV, well then this game turns into a must purchase.

The other thing is with Zen Pinball 2, they have introduced full stereoscopic 3D support.

It is $2.99 for just the one table, but it really is damn worth it.

The thing is were Pinball Arcade goes for true realism and physics, Zen Pinball, while the ball physics seem pretty dead on to me, definitely goes for the more arcade, fantastical approach to their tables.Īnd at the top of that list is the new DLC that was also released today, the Plants Vs Zombies table. I have to say, if you are a PS3-Vita owner, it really is a game you have to pick up if you have even the slightest interest in Pinball games. It does support cross play so if you buy one version, the other is free.
