Pinball FX 2: Fantastic Four Preview
10 May 2011, 8:41 pm
The Fantastic Four is just one of several Marvel properties looking to make its way to the table. There's a certain appeal to pinball that wins over just about anyone, regardless of whether you're a pinball aficionado or not. Hitting those flippers with timed precision--or wildly and as often as possible--can be very rewarding, and it probably has to do with the fact that something is always happening onscreen. Lights begin to flash; your ball makes it up a ramp that triggers an animation; and, your score continues to go up. Pinball FX 2 on the Xbox 360 is a great platform for those who want to experiment with different tables. Marvel's partnership with Zen Studios has yielded some colorful and incredibly fun tables for play. Their latest addition is the Fantastic Four table, which you can take a look at below. On May 18 for the cost of 240 Microsoft points (later for PlayStation Network users), you will have the power as the Fantastic Four to stop the mighty Galactus and fend off Doctor Doom and his doombots. Like the previous Marvel tables, the Fantastic Four will come with multiple game modes, and you can shoot for four long, winding ramps (like Spider-Man). As always, each new table added to the Pinball FX 2 platform will come with its own achievements, operators menu, and rule sheet. The table isn't out just yet, but we'll have a demo for you on May 12's On the Spot show, as well as codes to give away at a later date. When you do finally get your hands on the new table, we have some tips and tricks that were given to us by Zen Studios to help you earn that high score. Fantastic Four Tips and Tricks Negative Zone and Force Field Activating the Negative Zone ball saver mechanic can be a tough job, but it is worth every shot. If activated, Mister Fantastic will prevent the last ball on the table from ball out. The Invisible Woman also helps to keep balls in play. Watch for the Force Field lamps after a ramp shot and keep collecting them for permanent protection. Simultaneous Modes One of the key features of the table is that you can start modes simultaneously. If you have trouble with the main story modes, try to start a multiball on it! The more multiballs you have running at the same time, the bigger the score you can earn with one shot. Celebration The greatest awards can be harvested during the Final Frenzy mode. Try completing all the main story missions as many times as possible to get that marvelous score. Be careful, though; if you lose the ball during the Galactus mission, you lose the opportunity for the final frenzy and have to complete all the main missions to get a new chance for the really big scores. Workshop Mini-Playfield Aiming on the mini-playfield may look a bit hard, but practice makes perfect. The key here is precise timing! Don't forget that if you complete the mini-playfield four times through four increasingly harder levels, your reward will be an extra ball! That is worth a couple of tries, isn't it?
