For those who have been following us for a while you will know a bunch of us are really into Pinball FX2. Well I have some new information to report, I didn’t really expect it to be so but my playing Pinball FX2 has actually made me into quite an expert at actual pinball tables. The way these guys make these tables is so fantastic because they use the real mechanics that you would find on pinball tables. There’s a local place I go to for lunch which has 2 pinball tables and since I got good at pinball FX2 I’ve been playing on those tables and for just a quarter I can usually get in a good 15 minute game. So if you’re anything like me and you always had the secret desire to become a pinball wizard, I’m living proof that these tables can actually make you into one.
The new table they’ve created is like the banner says “Sorcerer’s Lair.” It’s a good Halloween table full of spooky ghosts and goblins. As I first started playing this table it didn’t feel like it would be a good table for beginners, however once I got the hang of the overall feel I really started to like it. My favorite thing about the table is there are some new views and you can even change your view during multiballs. I really became comfortable and good at pinball when I got the hang of playing multiballs simply because they’re so chaotic, and so it’s tables like this one or Secrets of The Deep where there are a bunch of different methods to getting multiballs so you can really have a good amount of practice at becoming accustomed to multiballs.
As I said this table has some good multiballs but it also has some fantastic missions. Do you see those 3 yellow buttons in the middle of the table right below the goblin? If you hit all three of those buttons a stairwell appears and if from there you can go downstairs into the cellar where you can battle spiders in a smaller table.
Now I was saying earlier that this isn’t a beginners table but it’s a bit more then that, it’s not the easiest table to get started on however it’s incredibly fluid and once you get accustomed to the feel of the table it becomes one of the higher scoring tables you’ll play on. I was also really happy because I was actually able to get all 3 xbox achievements which on many tables seems too impossible. This table has been out for about 2 weeks now and it’s just 240 points.
