Video Game Demo Review #2: Pinball FX 2

Here comes "Game Room"'s Cousin, "Pinball FX 2"! And in some ways, it's better than "Game Room".

Trailer & Review after the Jump



"Pinball FX 2" basically is very much like "Game Room", using a completely different format and engine than it's predecessor "Pinball FX".

This time "Pinball FX 2" is free, making it more of a application than a game. All tables have a trial mode (With time and score limits) that you can play as many times as you'd like. To get the Pinball Tables you have to buy them separately, however if you have previously bought "Pinball FX", then all tables from the first game will be imported to "Pinball FX 2" Free of Charge with an updated look for the new engine. A nice feature as a thank you to the fanbase.

"Pinball FX 2" essentially has itself set up where they could add as many tables as they can by them not limiting how many tables there can be, in fact, new tables are being made now and will be available for purchase soon.

The following list is what Pinball Tables are available for "Pinball FX 2"
-From "Pinball FX"
