If you’ve been following this site for a while you know I’ve become quite the pinball player and it’s thanks to those guys making all the tables on Pinball FX2. On August 31st a new table was released, this one being the Ms. Splosion Man table. Now this table is based on a video game of the same name which came out in July for Xbox Live Arcade. I was unfamiliar with the game but I watched a couple of videos and it looks to be an incredibly chaotic side platformer and it’s received quite excellent reviews.
Back to pinball, this table like the game it’s based on feels like you’re in control of a very chaotic situation. There’s a lot of things going on and before you know it you’ve gained quite a number of points. My first play through I was able to get up to 94 Million points but unlike the table which came out most recently “Captain America” I was unable to complete the first mission but I still felt awesome. Captain America made you feel awesome in completing missions, where as this one makes you feel awesome by scoring a lot of points and barreling through chaos. My favorite part was actually the multiball section because it has this nifty trap where you can trap one of your multiballs and if you get it out of the trap you have an extra ball for your multiball mode. Basically it means if you lose one of your balls it’s okay because you can get it back in the same mode. I ended up losing about 6 balls while still doing the same multiball.
The music and the voices seem to be the same as from the original game. The voices can get a little annoying but I tend to play most of my games while listening to other things so I didn’t notice as much. The table is really good for making you feel cool since it is so high scoring. It will cost you 240 Microsoft Points on the Xbox Live Arcade. They’ve been on a role as of late putting out some very good tables and this one has a fluidity about it which makes it a good table.
