This will be familiar to Star Wars fans everywhere as the game recreated the lightsaber training from Star Wars: A New Hope. Here, you leave the table completely (as is the case with selected game modes on other Zen Pinball 2 tables) and the view switches to a first person mini-game. Those aren’t the only game modes though…Īnother one that can be activated (again from hitting targets on the table) is your Jedi Training. If you fail to complete one of the missions, or lose one of your balls, but start the same mission again during the same game, if you have made it beyond the first stage, it will set a checkpoint in the game and you can continue from that point! Absolutely original and a welcome addition. The sheer beauty of these modes is something new that Zen Studios have introduced with Star Wars Pinball. Once this stage has been completed, the mode switches to Dagobah where Luke is undergoing the early stages of his Jedi training (complete with an animated Luke Skywalker…). In this, a ramp appears in the centre of the table and you have to shoot the ball directly at this ramp and launch the ball at asteroids and TIE Fighters that are flying around on the table. For example, the third mode sees the scene where the Milennium Falcon enter the asteroid field to escape the Star Destroyers. Each mode is broken up into several stages adding more variety to the gameplay as well.

However, these modes are brought to life with speech, fully animated characters on the table and video sequences from the movie played out on the simulated dot-matrix display.

Playing through these scenes generally involves aiming at specific targets on the table itself. Get the ball into this and you can select from one of five key movie scenes. Once this is done, a trapdoor opens in the centre of the table. These are activated by repeatedly shooting the ball into the centre target and spelling out Star Wars. The main game modes are based on several key scenes from the movie itself. When your ball drops between the shield generators (located at the top of the table) as seen in the Hoth sequence at the start of the film, they spell the word SKYWALKER which unlocks one game mode. Scattered all over the table are objects from the movie, but rather than being there for decoration, each serves a purpose.

Throughout the game, there are countless soundbites playing taken directly from the movie from most of the cast hinting at which of the tables missions you should aim to play next. Once the game starts, you launch the ball (from a lightsaber, no less) and the table itself begins.

Prior to that, the game introduces itself with a full view of a large imposing 3D figure of Darth Vader talking to you setting the scene for the game admirably. You are presented with a view that resembles an Imperial Star Destroyer, with a viewport set behind the table showing a panoramic space scene which changes throughout the game showing various planets, backdrops relating to each mission and Star Destroyers flying past in view. Immediately this table speaks quality the second it loads up. It may not seem important on paper, but when you start playing their presence soon becomes an integral part of the game.Īnyway, onto the tables themselves and first up is The Empire Strikes Back.

Unlike Zen Studios’ previous licensed tables, what makes these significant is the use of the license – not only do they feature sound effects from the vast Lucasfilm sound library, but also feature voice clips from the films and television episodes, video clips playing on the simulated dot-matrix display and, most importantly, the original music as well. Finally is Boba Fett – the only table to be based on a single character (let’s just hope that we don’t get a future table dedicated to Jar Jar Binks…).

Next up is The Clone Wars, and this takes its inspiration from the CGI animated series of the same name. Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is based solely on the second movie from the original trilogy and whst is considered by many to be the best of all of the Star Wars movies. Ever since Zen Studios confirmed that they had acquired the rights to bring out a series of Star Wars tables for Zen Pinball 2, my inner geek was eagerly awaiting the release of all ten tables promised in the series and after teasing everyone with screenshots and trailers of the tables to get everyone into a frenzy, this pack has been unleashed featuring the first three tables in the collection…Įach table has a set theme in this pack. The one that I had been looking forward to the most wasn’t a standalone release but surprisingly DLC for an existing title, and Cross Buy DLC at that. Forget Killzone: Mercenary, Tearaway and countless other big name PS Vita games for 2013.
