ZEN PINBALL 2: STAR WARS
Zen Studios
There’s this bloke, right? And he’s all dressed in black. It’s dead
worrying though, as he isn’t Johnny Cash ’cos he’s wearing a cape,
and Johnny Cash didn’t wear capes. Anyway, this bloke also has a
mask on, right? Which is really sad because it’s like he thinks he’s
too ugly to show his face. Like maybe because he’s got really bad
asthma?
Well, it’s a different way to introduce the one, the
only, the deadly, the daddy of them all – or at least Luke ‘n’ Leia
- Darth Vader. He’s just one of numerous key Star Wars
figures to show their face – or, indeed, not show it - in the newest
thing from those masters of everything videogamey and pinball, and
the best Hungarian thing since Zsa Zsa Gabor first married a Rubik’s
Cube (darlink), Zen Studios.
Three tables feature in this
Zen Pinball 2 add-on, each
with nods to various pinball eras, with the added joy of shit that
just can’t happen on real pinnies. Yes, Zen embraces the
videogameyness of their creations, so stormtroopers tromp around,
lightsaber battles battle and TIE fighters buzz about all
mozzie-like. It doesn’t detract from the core aim of keeping
metallic balls in play, and it’s ace.
The Empire Strikes
Back, the second flick, which George Lucas later decided was
the fifth, scores a table, as does some bloke named Bob Afett, and
Clone Wars. They’ve all one thing in common other than the
screechingly obvious, they’re all brilliant. Sure you’ll regularly
stare at your screen – be it Vita OLED or whatever you’ve stuck to
the end of the video cable dangling from your PS3 - incredulously as
another ball bounces out inexplicably, but get zoney and you’ll
struggle finding anything funtasticer to spend five minutes to a
full Vita battery charge messing with.
