Pinball FX - my first arcade purchase

Wom · May 8th, 2007, 01:06

As I really love to play pinball I bought this game. And to my own surprise all the real life tricks also work in these three machines. I think the best one is the Speed machine, but the total amount of three machines is a bit expensive for three machines to be honest. But still lots of fun.

Anyone else who has bought this game? Normally you all should be able to beat my poor highscore

Yes I bought it and thought it was good value for money in comparison to a lot of other games on the marketplace. It's one of those games you play when you are too bored to play anything else...like UNO.

If you want to see how the low mentality live, get UNO

I bought it as well and wrote a review. I havent played it ever since I finished that review I think. There aren't enough tables and even the available ones aren't really that great.

The best table I find is the Agents one, it has the best balance between difficulty and fun. Speed Machine is a little too easy when you know how to manipulate the airbags which are uber useful. If you want a challenge though, the table you'll play is the boring for beginners extreme table. Most of the time you will be fighting to keep the ball from going out of the play area and to save you life you have a limited time before it locks you out. All 3 tables have their charms though and I look forward to the DLC which is sure to be delivered in the near future. If they bought out 1 table a month for 200 points a go, then I'd happily pay the price. And look at it this way, it's 50p for 3 balls on a real table, so after 12-13 credits you are up anyway. Still, it isn't quite the same thing, but this is pretty damned close.

I agree with the Agents table being te best one. It really has some nice missions and the setup of the table is in balance. The extreme one is out of balance, but that could be my lack of skill. Speed on is a bit easy indeed, but good use of the monochrome display

I got a huge score on Speed Machine last night. It took me almost half an hour. My score was 550,861,959. Is there anyone out there who can beat this score. If you have, please post.

Last night I was plying Pinball FX, on the Speed Machine table when my highest ever score came. It was 550, 861, 959 and took me almost half an hour to achieve. Is there anyone out there who can beat this score. If you can, please post.

Merged. Please don't post in a topic and create a new thread. Also, welcome to the forums.

so, what are these "real life tricks" you are talking about.
I also think the agents table is the best one. The three extra DLC tables are crap though
