![]() ![]() If you are just getting into pinball and do not have any nostalgia for or interest in simulations of actual pinball tables from the 70's, 80's and 90's, I would recommend Pinball FX2 over Pinball Arcade. ![]() Zen does an amazing job of supporting Pinball FX2, so the bar is set high if Pinball Arcade wants to earn that level of fan respect and loyalty. Hopefully the developer will fix the bugs and add some of the features I mentioned. However, it is still worth a buy if you are a pinball fan. Overall Pinball Arcade lacks the fine level of quality and polish that Pinball FX2 has. Occasionally on Ripley's Believe It or Not, the LED scoreboard display starts off blank, and only corrects itself after you hit a target or ramp that refreshes the display. On another occasion, the game all of a sudden decided not to respond to any of my controller inputs, and I had to exit the game back back to the Xbox 360 dashboard and then restart Pinball Arcade from there. I had to quit the game and then restart from the Pinball Arcade game menu. For example, on Arabian Nights I had the table lose track of a ball, and even the "Call the Attendant" option in the menu did not fix the issue. There are also a few bugs that should be fixed. Also the ball physics in Pinball Arcade do not seem quite right. Also, there is no cumulative score or average ranking leaderboard across all of the tables while this is not essential, I find it to be a fun feature of Pinball FX2. Pinball Arcade needs more camera view options as well, and it would be nice to be able to see your friends ranking/position on the global leaderboard in addition to their actual high scores. However, Pinball Arcade is missing many great features that Zen has put into Pinball FX2, such as the online multiplayer score race mode. However, Pinball Arcade If you are a pinball fan, this is a must buy just for the faithfulness with which these tables have been recreated.
