5/30/2023 0 Comments Zen pinball 2Based on the more contemporary games in the series, it’s sci-fi action horror at it’s finest. Moving onto Doom Pinball and this is where things started to pick up. Best part of the table, if I am honest, was the mini Space Invaders sub-game. It was still an enjoyable table, but it just didn’t set the world alight for me. Despite the table looking and sounding fantastic as I would expect, it left me feeling empty, but then again I didn’t get any of the references in the game. It certainly added to the gaming experience but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it with this one. As with the entire pack, Zen Studios have tried to offer greater depth this time around adding a more strategic element to all of the tables developing them into character driven games, adding a more involved story and even progressive RPG-styled characters that evolve as you play. Having no real knowledge of the franchise or characters left me struggling to connect with the table in a way that others probably would have been able to. The table itself for me played really just like any other futuristic themed table. That was a problem I found with South Park Pinball – familiarity with the show really was needed to get the most out of it so was that going to be the case here? I’ve never played any of the Fallout games before and to be honest they’ve never appealed to me so this table had to stand on its own as a pinball game in its own right. I know I shouldn’t have gone into plaything the game with any pre-conceptions of what it may or may not have been like but it’s not easy. Starting off with Fallout Pinball and I’d say that this is the one I was looking forward to the least. The fact that I had little interest in the originals didn’t help much but despite the talents at Zen Studios I really did wonder if they had bitten off more than they could chew this time in adapting these into a pinball format. Three games that were more at home on the PC than on consoles (despite being available for the PS3 / PS4 etc) but these were all games that generally left me cold. Now, pinball games are one of my biggest loves on the PS Vita, Zen Pinball 2 especially, but this set really did fill me with dread. When I first heard about the pack, I was immediately awash with feelings of trepidation. Presented here are Fallout Pinball, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Pinball and Doom Pinball. They have been bold enough to tackle some of the biggest franchises out there – Marvel, Star Wars, The Walking Dead and even to turn video games into video games and this is what forms the basis of the latest pack of tables for Zen Pinball 2 – Bethesda Pinball…Īs with some of their other themed packs based around specific companies rather than franchises, Bethesda Pinball offers a total of three tables to gamers, each based on a different blockbuster game released by the studio. Over the last few years they’ve created incredible tables based on everything ranging from football to underwater exploration, the Roman Empire to motor sport and their licenced tables are second to none. It seems to be the case that no matter what subject matter Zen Studios turn their attention to, they are able to craft it into an amazing pinball table.
