Pinball FX2 was released on Xbox 360 way back in 2010 which makes it kind of ridiculous that new downloadable content is still being released for the game.  The newest table is based off Telltale Games’ and Skybound’s award winning The Walking Dead games at a cost of $2.99.

This table is really a lot of fun. It seems to be a quite a bit easier to wrack up huge point totals compared to any of the other tables in the game. This is definitely a good thing because it gives you a feeling of accomplishment. You don’t get many drains down the sides of the table which avoids a lot of frustrating problems plaguing a few other tables in the game. Even if you aren’t very good at pinball in general you should be able to run this table for at least several minutes per ball. Missions are easy to start and complete and the table is highly dynamic. Sometimes the entire table turns dark as nightfall comes and the zombie hordes come out en masse. One of the other missions you literally leave the table and snipe zombies peeking out of buildings through the crosshairs of a sniper rifle. There’s nothing else like that in Pinball FX2. Missions are also based off the name of each episode from the first season of Telltale’s series (A New Day, Starved for Help, etc).

There’s a lot of choices during the missions which affect how the table plays each time. For example you can choose who to save and who to leave behind, whether or not to hide if you’ve been bitten or attempt first aid, and whether to leave food supplies for other survivors or take it for yourself just to name a few things. The new table features Clementine and Lee as the central characters with other characters from the games making appearances as well. As you can probably imagine, the table features plenty of “walkers” to fight off and sometimes other not-so-friendly survivors. Other times it’s better to just run and hide.

Pinball FX2 was recently released for Xbox One but the continual DLC keeps the game relevant for Xbox 360 owners as well. Although it may have fallen off your radar, Pinball FX2 is worth firing up once again for the new Walking Dead table whether you are a fan of the show, games, or even if you are just a pinball fan. It may be the most well made table in the game.
