I have played many pinball games over the years and I am always on the look-out for a decent pinball simulation. If you have played any of Zen Studios other pinball tables already, then you will know what to expect.
Zen pinball hd review full#
They are both full of hidden features that will keep you occupied for a good few hours. So as I have said there are two tables on offer. If fact you will find all the main South Park characters and more hidden in the tables somewhere. There are two tables on offer that include all your favourite South Park characters, where you can join Stan, Cartman, Kenny, Chef and Butters to name a few (Butters even gets a whole table to himself). There are many tables available to purchase, but the tables we are here to talk about is South Park Super Sweet Pinball. Zen Pinball 2 is a gateway to many different pinball tables. It has been developed by Zen Studios that you will have defiantly heard of if pinball is your thing.
Zen pinball 2 is a pinball table simulator. Even if you’ve already gone out and picked up the two Mario games, it’s worth splashing out that extra $7.50 for this one.Are you ready to Flip Out? Then it’s time to use those trigger fingers and start knocking that shiny ball around a gorgeous virtual pinball table. Zen Pinball gets everything right, at a price point that is fair, and is one of the best implementations of 3D to date. Pinball is a kind of universal appeal, easy to get into and challenging as only the arcade games of yesteryear could be. It would add a great deal of longevity to an already great package if it were possible to buy a couple extra tables some time down the track.įor $Aus7.50, the four existing tables are good value though. On the other consoles and iPad it’s possible to purchase additional tables for Zen Pinball, including the superb Marvel table. We have our fingers crossed that this is one of the games that will benefit from Nintendo’s backflip over DLC. The on-screen action is very responsive, and the ball moves at a speed that is fast enough to be challenging, but not so fast to turn the game into a twitch-based experience. The game controls beautifully, allowing people to use either the shoulder buttons, or the dpad and B-button, whichever is more comfortable. You’re able to see at a glance your global ranking, your national ranking, your ranking amongst your friends list and your weekly best score. If that wasn’t enough incentive to keep playing, the real magic to Zen Pinball is the extensive online leaderboards. The attention to detail is spectacular, and you’ll still have a couple of basic minigames to play by setting off certain switches on the table to break up the action the Excalibur table, for instance, cuts away to a “joust” where you’ll need to time a shot of the ball to unhorse a charging knight. As such there’s very little visual fireworks rather anything that goes on on these tables would have been possible with the kinds of mechanics that went into the original pinball tables. It’s worth noting that these tables aim to be realistic recreations of real pinball. Zen Pinball also features a handful of achievements for pulling off some spectacular stunts. Each table plays differently enough to the others that each player will develop favourites, but they’re universally well designed tables with plenty to explore and achieve. There’s four tables within the base download, each with a very different themes – tropical treasure hunt Eldorado, Kings and castles Excalibur, Tribal beats Shaman and B-grade Sci Fi Earth Defence. There is the very rare moment where the frame rate looks like it’s going to stutter, but it quickly snaps back into silky-smooth action. The ball bounces around the table smoothly and accelerates and decelerates precisely as you would expect. Zen Pinball is renowned for its physics on the HD console and the recent iPad game, and the tradition remains strong here. Longer term, it’s an irrelevant issue though with a bit of practice the game plays beautifully. Making out the smaller details on the tables can be a real challenge on the eyes, and though there are some alternative camera angles none of them quite manage to resolve this problem. The real complaint in terms of presentation is that at times the tables can seem a little small on the relatively small 3DS screen.
