Oh, you’ve clicked on this article? You chose wisely. Here’s me thinking of how many more Indiana Jones quotes I can shoehorn into this article. “Don’t get cocky” I tell myself as I now blur other Harrison Ford performances into one another. “I’m making this up as I go along” and I best get things back on track. Pinball FX3 have been releasing licensed pinball tables since acquiring the Williams license and are back today with another classic. Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure table is now available in Pinball FX3 on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch.
Zen Studios have delivered us pinball tables based on Star Wars, Jurassic World and many more franchises over the years. But in recent times it's been all about the classics, providing players with the opportunity to take in some of the most authentic Williams and Bally tables. And that is where Pinball FX3 - Williams Pinball: Volume 6 comes in, dropping another three iconic options to pinball players around the globe.
There are many pinball experiences available throughout the gaming world, but the very best have come from the fair hands of Zen Studios, with Pinball FX3 providing the ultimate ball-pinging tests. And today that test increases once more with yet another new bundle of old school pinball delights arriving in the Williams Pinball: Volume 5 content drop.
The kings of pinball are most certainly Zen Studios, and after providing a pretty stunning base experience with Pinball FX3, have further pushed the boundaries with multiple DLC packs since. A good few of those have come featuring some classic Williams Pinball tables, and that number is soon due to expand, by two, with the arrival of the Williams Pinball: Universal Monsters Pack.
As someone who’s never had the pleasure of playing on a physical pinball table, it feels slightly odd that I’m looking back to a pinball-focused game with fond memories – Pinball FX2. My first experience whacking balls into bumpers and such though was actually in the free Windows game, 3D Pinball. Unsurprisingly, this did nothing to increase my interest in the pinball world and, in fact, even the release of the original Pinball FX didn’t quite offer the table variety necessary to draw me in long-term. But that all changed upon the arrival of Pinball FX2 on Xbox One and the urge to become a pinball wizard grew ever-stronger.
If you want a decent pinball experience, then Zen Studios and Pinball FX3 is what you should be after. Delivering a ton of great tables to gamers across the globe, recent times have seen collections of authentic Williams tables arrive for gameplay opportunities. And that is where we are today, with the release of Pinball FX3 Williams Pinball Vol. 4.
Zen Studios really upped the ante when they pushed Pinball FX3 out to the world in 2017, revamping the pinball scene like never before. Since that time there have been a whole host of brilliant table additions added in too, with the Williams Pinball Volume 3 pack the latest to arrive.
It's quite obvious that the arrival of Williams Pinball Volume 1 was a bit of a hit when Zen Studios released the pack on to Pinball FX3 back in October - so much so that the launch of Volume 2 is fast approaching.
If you like nothing better than pinging balls around a table, flipping flippers, and building highscores, then the numerous table options found in Zen Studios’ Pinball FX3 will be more than appealing. In fact, if you’re looking for any pinball experience, then it is the Zen offering which stands head and shoulders above the competition.
But that doesn’t stop others trying to get a piece of the pinball pie and the introduction of Babylon 2055 Pinball to the market for a stupidly low price tag gives ‘balling fans a slightly different option away from the visual glories of the usual Marvel and Star Wars themed beauts.
Pinball FX3 already has a multitude of dynamic pinball tables for gamers to enjoy, across a variety of games, films and the like. But Zen Studios have decided to add to the Star Wars group of tables with Star Wars Pinball: The Last Jedi two-pack, bringing players to Ahch-To Island and a battle against the First Order.
