As a guy who really likes pinball but doesn?t have access to a way of playing locally, The Pinball Arcade is basically a godsend. I?ve really enjoyed what the folks over at FarSight have done with the series up to this point, having played and bought just about all of the 1st and 2nd season table packs on PS3/Vita in the past. If you have any interest in iconic pinball tables under the Gottlieb, Stern, Williams, and Bally brand then you really should check this fantastic series out. And with the PS4 version of the game having just launched in recent weeks, you?re now able to play the most beautifully rendered console version of The Pinball Arcade that I?ve seen so far.
For this review we were given the initial table pack that kicked off The Pinball Arcade originally. This includes three tables, Theatre of Magic, Black Hole, and Ripley?s Believe it or Not, along with the free Tales of the Arabian Nights available for just downloading the game from PSN. I?m certainly familiar with these tables by now, putting hours upon hours into the XBLA and PSN versions of over the past year or so. And I?m happy to see that the PS4 version plays just as well as I remembered, with outstanding, lifelike physics accompanying the beautiful visuals on display.
I really can?t wait to dive back in with The Pinball Arcade, and check out more of the tables I?ve played, and a few of those that I missed. The only real negatives to mention here is that the variety of tables available isn?t quite on par with what?s out there for other versions. This isn?t surprising, as there?s always been some disparity between releases on platforms. It?s also a bit of a bummer that you?ll have to rebuy all this content despite owning it on PS3/Vita. There have been some allowances made for discounts if you own all the season 1 tables on PS3/Vita and purchase the season 1 pack on PS4, but individual pack discounts would have been nice as well.
