These generally revolve around hitting high scores with a single ball or seeing how high of a score you can rack up in five minutes. Mind you, that is still a great motivator here, but the Zen Studios team did a nice job of adding some new modes and progression.įor modes, we have anew challenge missions. Once I owned that score, I generally found myself playing different tables. In the prior Zen Pinball games I mostly just played tables in hopes I'd have the bragging rights over my online friends for high score. Once up and running, it was clear right out of the gates that Pinball FX3 is a similar yet very different beast. So it is a good process, just don't rush through it. I went back in and found them, re-downloaded those items and I was good to go. This made it so that there were a few tables that were downloaded but still locked. The mistake I made was in getting 'too fast' and not making sure to make sure it was downloading both the table and the unlock item. I previously mentioned that I own all of the tables, so the PS Store purchase screen (though you're getting it for free) pops up a lot. There is an option to import your previously purchased tables, which then prompts Pinball FX3 go spider through your account and give you a download option for each table or pack. The process is actually a relatively simple one, but I will warn you to take your time and click everything you need. Now over 60 of my previously purchased tables drop right into the current Pinball FX3 framework. That is a lot of cross-buy power, but I have always appreciated that approach. And the great thing was, if you bought it on one platform, you could play it on another for free (PS3, PS4 and Vita). I've gotten some for review, but I've purchased plenty of them over the years as well and I have owned every one available for the PlayStation. I have always found Zen Studios' approach to their tables to be pretty generous. Zen Pinball has long had a huge list of tables, and most (but not all - likely due to licensing reasons) can be imported if you have purchased them before. From there, you can buy packs of tables to help fill in the framework. With it comes a single table - Sorcerer's Lair - so you can sample the goods, so to speak. You can download the framework, which is what this review is all about, for free. So what exactly is Pinball FX3? Well, first let's go over the basics. Having long been a fan of the Zen Pinball / Pinball FX games, I am pretty excited to see that Pinball FX3 is a considerable leap forward for the series. There are several reasons to be excited about the release of Pinball FX3, from improved visuals to retooled online options and a bevy of new modes.
