so this game is being released tomorrow, 13 tables to choose from gets you great value for the money ($39.99). gorgeous visuals, high replayability, stunning recreation of famous pinball machines from 70's through 90's. game is getting great reviews(ign - 8.5, gamespot - 8 and perfect score from game nexus). what's even more appealling is that amazon currently offers $10 off for pre-ordering($29.99) on xbox 360, I think we should support developers/publishers releasing great games at discounted price, they're getting less exposure than they really deserve. so anyone else excited?
Apparently Zen Pinball is the cat's meow. My neighbor is a pinball freak... I lugged him to Mikado in Shinjuku and he played Pinball the whole time. He puts in quite a few hours on Zen.
I see nobody grew up with Amiga classics such Pinball Illusion, Pinball Fantasies, Slam Tilt...:-( those Pinball Games are still awesome and I'm hoping that this 360 iteration will bring good ol' pinball glory days. I hope we'll get slam tilt on xbla or psn someday and other amiga classics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRmdzdlqPxc
If you're a fan of Williams tables, it's great. Far superior to the Wii version. It's not without its issues however...some of the sounds aren't spot-on, the camera can be a bit of a pain, no settings modes for the pins, etc. Still, definitely worth the $40.
I'd say save the fifty dollars and put it towards the real thing. If you're patient, you can score an early 80s Williams machine for around 300 bucks. Sometimes less if you're extra patient.
