Who doesn’t love big dinosaurs? Who doesn’t love smashing balls round a table? Well Zen Studios love them both and bring you this great Collaboration from the Jurassic Park world straight to your pinball table platforms.
Late last year Zen released Pinball FX 3 (read my review here https://totalgamingaddicts.com/pinball-fx-3-review/ ) and for such a simple game they have added great features that we are now seeing expanded and built upon with new tables just like this one.
As you can see from the screenshots this is the typically detailed standard we have now come to expect from Zen’s Pinball FX series and Jurassic World is no different.
Cutting over to bonus screens and table overlays shows all the details from the leathery skin of the dinosaurs to the polished bumpers and features of the table so nothing but a big thumbs up there as expected.
And if I didn’t cover it enough in the original review sounds are spot on for the table itself yet with the added bonus of Jurassic World sound effects and voice overs at varying times of bonus and storytelling, this all in addition to the normal pings, and chings of a pinball table.
Yes i did say storytelling, the table walks you through some of the film’s storyline making it a challenge to do things in the right order and for those of you that think flipping bumpers on the exact spot each time is easy then i’d like to see your high score.
The best part of this is that it’s still fun despite always being challenging and varied through the different tables on offer.
Better still is the 3 games on offer with this Jurassic world table purchase.
Whilst the new Jurassic World is amazing who doesn’t like the original classic Jurassic Park and with both tables offering authentic voices and sounds taken from the films there is alot to like here but the 3rd option Jurassic Park Pinball mayhem (pictured below)
So for the low cost yet again Zen have delivered a brilliant looking, sounding and as always diverse set of challenges whilst keeping true to the Jurassic Park franchise.
I may have reviewed almost all of the tables brought out on Pinball FX but they’re still yet to get boring. Keep them coming
SUMMARY
Authentic sounds, story, visually on point and with the Pinball FX 3 new challenges and features this is another classic table
