 | Amazing Captain America Pinball Game |
This could be the coolest pinball table i have ever seen... images and info below via GamingAge:
When Zen Studios produces and delivers new pinball tables to the Pinball FX2 , Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball line up it is like a national holiday in my home. I just can't wait to download and learn the new tables, put up some high scores, and have a great time of bite sized fun that only Pinball can provide for me. This became even more of a thrill when they unveiled the Marvel Pinball tables a while back as now you are putting comics in my pinball...that's like peanut butter and jelly (singing peanut butter jelly time)!
After the 4 initial launch tables came out I was eager to get my hands on some more comic heroes, and was eager to see who they would include. The previously released Fantastic Four table (our review here) was fun, but to be honest, that was never really a franchise I appreciated. Now Zen has brought everyone's favorite red, white, and blue boy to the fray as Captain America pinball has landed onto the scene.
There is everything to love in this table, from the visuals, the LCD animations, the ball physics, the speed and thrill of the table and of course the opportunity for high scores is accessible as well. As far as the rules of the table go, you have oodles of diverse options to not only score big, but rule the table. You have everything you would want to see in a pinball table from extra balls, multiball, kickbacks, ball saves, and of course the all important mission modes.
Of course the missions are the meat and potatoes of any good pinball machine, and the obvious way to score tons of points. Like well made missions, they aren't walks in the park and require many objectives to succeed, some even have certain requirements to set up the missions themselves. The Adhesive X mission is a very cool one in which Baron Zemo deploys barrels of Adhesive X onto the table that will slow down the ball and alter your routes as well. Your job is to destroy the six barrels to win this mission. Another mission will have you going toe to toe with the infamous Red Skull in a sparring match that takes place right on the table. Lastly, Zemo deploys his death ray handgun and it is up to you to hit the spinner and deflect his ray. Little mini modes help the fun go even further as the Howling Commandos make an appearance and in their modes you have to find them, protect them from an ambush, and utilize a supply drop, and of course catching and rescuing Bucky. Of course the game has a final clash in which you have to complete all your missions and unlock at least one of the members of the Commandoes. The Final Clash has 4 game modes that you have to complete to achieve total victory.
While I may not be super psyched about the film or the upcoming Sega game based off the film, Capt American pinball had me at hello as the game looks sharp, plays fast, and has a lot to offer to encourage lasting appeal. This game is far from a one trick table, and it will take multiple play through attempts to get the gist of it, let alone conquer the game by any means. If you love this series of games, then toss a couple bucks to add this to your collection. Now bring on Dr. Strange (wishful thinking), as that could be a kick ass table...hint hint.
