Playing the majority of the table on Vita will mean you lose part of the experience, however. Amongst the flashing lights and barrage of colours, they are practically impossible to see and although I get the ‘ant-sized’ nod, it’s somewhat disappointing when the balls slip through your paddles. The downside to all of this point multiplying insanity though is that the Pym Particle makes the balls small, and I mean microscopic. The huge, blue, glowing orb caged at the top of the table is an easy target to go for as you warm up your paddling skills and after hitting a number of targets surrounding it, you release it from its case in a flurry of insane multi-ball madness. The most prominent and easy to unlock is perhaps the Pym Particle multi-ball. These range from jumps, secret runs for balls and a ‘shoot the bad guys’ mini-game, as well as other usual Ant-Man variations of pinball classics. They are, they’re just hidden and require a certain amount of probing and precision pinball skills to unlock and discover. The table is relatively barren at first glance, however that doesn’t necessarily mean that the host of toys and features aren’t there to be exploited. The glowing orbs, chrome rails and jargon filled character commentary all resemble a laboratory scene, one that you would expect to see in the film and making the whole experience that bit more intimate. Ant-Man’s story relies heavily on science and discovery, and this lays a great foundation for the design of the Ant-Man table. The aesthetic is pretty much what you would expect from the Marvel license. From Star Wars to South Park, Portal to Excalibur, there’s more than likely a pinball machine for all seasons and Ant-Man is no different.
In what is arguably one of the most supported games, it seems that a month doesn’t even go by without Zen Pinball 2 receiving another table, fresh with a new design, new sounds and new toys. With it’s recent release in the cinema, what better time for pinball pros, Zen Studios, to release their latest table onto the Zen Pinball 2 platform, after all he is the only Avenger that could actually fit inside a pinball machine! Amongst the super-humans, billionaire philanthropists, raging Hulks and hammer wielding gods, Ant-Man offers something for the little guys. Marvel’s Ant-Man is the latest instalment in the ever expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. Reviews // 24th Jul 2015 - 7 years ago // By Dom D'Angelillo Zen Pinball 2: Ant-Man Table - Review
