Zen Studios unleashes its most memorable – and entertaining – pinball designs to date.
But that's not to say the other two tables are shoddily made. Boba Fett's is outstanding, with plenty of galactic-oriented ramps to shoot at, that Sarlacc, and Boba himself running around from spot to spot. The Clone Wars is equally impressive, with characters taken straight from the show, a cool launcher shuttle that puts your ball into play, and more. The design is impeccable, and really brings out the most in each theme.
Some might be turned off by the sound a little bit, though. While the music is pure Star Wars – and outstanding, as always – the voicework is off and on. Some of the actors sound true to their counterparts, while others – like an all-too-obvious Darth Vader fill-in and a Han Solo sound-alike – could've used fine tuning. And, really, on the Clone Wars table, every time we make a combo shot, Yoda speaks. It's great to hear his wisdom, but each time we make a shot like that?!
The gameplay is pure pinball, as Zen Studios has captured so well in the past. Flippers react with ease to your shots, and it's great seeing how you can line up a skill shot on each table with your plunger. The only downside is that the ball speed goes a little too fast at times, and it's easy to lose your ball as a result. Keep an eye on it, however, and you'll be able to keep it in play. Mostly.
