From the Millenium Falcon’s escape early in the movie, to BB-8’s capture and escape, and Rey’s scavenging from the start of the film, the table modes are set out logically and are broken down either into mini games in their own right (controlling BB-8 to avoid capture) or as more controlled modes of play on the table itself. The Force Awakes focuses primarily on Rey and Finn as the central characters on the table and progresses through several of the movie’s key scenes as you play. I don’t know it it’s a licensing issue here or what, but it stood out straight away and didn’t quite feel right listening to the original Star Wars score for an Episode VII game.īut onto the tables themselves. Instead, music has been used from the other movies. This is the strange thing… both tables feature John Williams’ classic Star Wars score but neither table has used music from The Force Awakens. Sound effects… there’s no real need to say anything here when the developers seem to have had access to the entire library of sound effects from the Lucasfilm archive so there’s nothing to complain about on that front. As well as the superb on-table graphics, the game is filled with fantastic table animation and effects. Apart from the slight difference in definition due to the Vita’s lower screen resolution, you’d be hard pressed to tell the two apart, and it’s even less noticeable when playing the game on the PlayStation TV.Īs you’d expect, it’s up to their usual high standards. On a technical level first, both maintain the high standards I have come to expect from Zen Studios with all of their pinball tables – they look superb on the PS Vita’s OLED screen and Zen have once again managed to do a superb job in recreating the consolve version on Sony’s handheld. The second is Might Of The First Order which is a completely original theme featuring characters and new scenarios involving Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers and their thirst for power. The first of the two tables included in this pack is The Force Awakens – what I would consider to be the main table in the pack which focuses of recreating some of the key plot elements from the early part of Episode VII. Released in December 2015 to coincide with the latest cinematic chapter in the Star Wars Saga, Star Wars Pinball: The Force Awakens contains two tables in a wallet-friendly pack costing just £3.99. This time, Zen Studios have again continued to extend their working relationship with Lucasfilm and expanded their Star Wars Pinball range and this two-table pack brings Zen’s total to a staggering 69 tables and 13 Star Wars ones, but is the Force with this one…? Each has consistently provided gamers with stunning visuals, sound and – most importantly – playability. They’ve certainly done PS Vita owners proud with Zen Pinball 2 (and subsquently it’s sister title Star Wars Pinball) which have firmly placed them in the top spot when it comes to high quality tables. Over the last nine years Zen Studios have firmly established themselves as a dominating force when it comes to developing home pinball on any format, let alone across the entire PlayStation family.
