Pinball FX2 comes to you from Zen Studios and can be downloaded for free from the Xbox Marketplace. Once you have the game you can then download tables for 200 points per table or sometimes also in bundles. Pinball FX2 for those that don’t know is the most realistic pinball games I’ve ever seen on any video game platform. It’s as if real pinball designers were making new pinball games and putting them onto the xbox instead of to local arcade lands. If you like spending money on actual pinball machines then there is no reason you shouldn’t be buying the tables that are constantly being put out by Zen Studios.
That is one of the best things about this company is that they keep continually putting out new tables so when you feel you’ve mastered all the tables they have they put out a new one just in time. The new one I speak of is the one pictured above, “Mars”. Set to come out this month you can explore the red planet in the year 2100 and unlock the secrets that Mars has in store. Here is a preview of the upcoming table:

If you already like pinball then there’s no reason you shouldn’t be picking up these games, if you are like me and you suck at pinball, don’t worry, they’re still really fun. You can play by yourself, against friends online and even compare scores. We’ve got three of us here at Bigshinyrobot who are all playing the games and though I’m the worst the competitive side of me wants to keep playing so eventually I will beat them.
If you want to find Pinball FX2 go to the game marketplace on your xbox screen and either search by title or you can find Pinball FX2 in the arcade section. Every game has a free trial to play before you buy and you can buy directly from within the game itself.
