Pinball Fx 2 Mars
Zen Studios continues to deliver the goods.I will start by getting the negative point out of the way first: the price. Normally tables for Pinball FX2 sit at the 200msp mark, but for some reason Mars is 240msp! I know its only 40msp more, but I thought that 200 was a nice price point.
It’s not something I hope Zen will make a habit of.Now, on to the good stuff. The table is the latest in the long line of DLC from ZEN Studios for Pinball FX2.

Apr 20, 2011 Pinball FX 2: MARS for Xbox 360 game reviews & Metacritic score: Set in the year 2100, the human race has finally managed to set foot on the Red Planet. Players will uncover hidden secrets which have long eluded life on plane.
This time around, you are off to Mars (obviously), and to get there you will need some vital equipment; The Space Flight Shuttle, The Space Station and The Spider (a small robotic device that helps you keep your ball in play).The first thing that you will need to do is to activate the flight shuttle, the space station and the spider, this is done by hitting certain ramps and holes. These are essential, as without them you cannot access all the missions. From there, it’s the same as any of the FX2 tables, explore the area and complete the missions. As you progress, you will activate set pieces that will open up new routes for the ball to travel.
The missions themselves are fairly standard, and requiring you to hit certain points on the table, or to get your ball across ramps within a time limit. It’s the way most of them play that stands out.Take, for instance, the ‘Collecting Samples’ mission; a robotic arm deploys from the Flight Shuttle and hovers over different areas of the table and you have to get the ball under it. The arm will then pick up the ball and place it in the shuttle’s hull. It looks really good and adds another level of excitement.
Another mission sees the table covered in wormholes that instantly transport the ball. This makes keeping the ball in play a real challenge. There are lots of missions to sink your teeth into, along with set pieces, ramps, holes and obstacles. It certainly is enough to keep you busy and will definitely require multiple plays to see all that the table has to offer.The table itself is gorgeous. They really have pushed the boat out with this one. Vibrant and colourful, the table seems to come to life as you play.
The missions are marked with fancy holographic pointers and the space station and spider dance about the table with grace. It is by far the best looking table yet!This game is a must for hardcore FX2 fans. They will not be disappointed. As for the games for casual player, the price tag may be a bit higher, but I think it’s worth it.
Mars is, without a doubt, the best table so far for FX2. Exciting and immersive, Mars explodes in a shower of neon and silver to overwhelm your eyeballs! Zen now has a new benchmark to develop their future tables against.Review copy provided by publisher.tab:Screenshotstab:END.
This shall be a short review for a short and sweet piece of content for everyone’s favourite Pinball game on the Xbox Live Arcade. The Mars Table adds an intergalactic themed level to the ever-expanding Pinball sim featuring a suite of side missions, along with the usual social systems and leaderboards that made the game so addictive in the first place.The Mars table immediately starts as it means to go on by looking good. The theme is simple and instantly appealing, with the mechanical spaceships and robots all moving with a grace and fluidity that other developers would struggle to achieve. The sounds too are in keeping with the whole dynamic, and add to the sense of immersion.
Or at least, immersion as far as a pinball table goes.The table is laid out well, with the objectives and side missions you can activate being quite clearly labelled at the start of each game. The problem comes in that, despite this sign-posting, I still found many of the missions to be quite obscure in their origins. Activating the right ones felt more like luck and less like skill.
I’m sure there are those who would counter saying that this is a part of the game but, whilst this holds true, it’s still not a part of the game I’m especially fond of. It’s a bit more classic than some of the wackier game tables, but it’s enjoyable all the sameDespite these minor complaints, the table is still a lot of fun to play. Part of this is just the simplistic charm of Pinball FX2 itself, but you’ll keep trucking on to get that high score all the same. It’s simple and addictive gameplay at its best. The thing I would warn potential buyers about is the sparsely laid out nature of the table. There’s stuff to do for sure, but it seems rather classic in comparison to some of the more wacky designs of the other tables in Pinball FX2. It’s not a bad thing as such, but those who were fans of the Biolab and other such tables shouldn’t expect the same treatment here.My only major gripe with the table is its pricing.
Admittedly, this is more the fault of Pinball FX2’s overall pricing strategy and nothing do with the table itself. Regardless of this, 240 MS points just seems a little steep for one table. Maybe it’s just because I’m not really the type to get sucked into constantly trying to obtain the highest scores, but I just can’t imagine a single table occupying enough time to justify the point of entry; as meagre as it is. If you love your pinball and have no qualms about the price then consider the Mars table worthy of your time.This game was reviewed on the Xbox 360.
