Pinball Arcade: Season Four Pack DLC

Best pinball you can buy but sadly the pc version is behind the PS4 version on graphics still

if this is 40% off... then it should be "pro" .... i not sure i am happy with my purchase ... buyer beware if this is NOT?! THIS IS NOT 40% percent off normal price. Normal price ($39.99) is "PRO". Please fix this farsight; as this IS FALSE advertising, I am trying to support you guys and your efforts, please support your customers and fix this...

While I am quite satisfied with this product and own all 4 seasons, there are a couple of issues that no potential purchaser should ignore: Though advertised for the Mac, If you play this on a Mac, you will almost certainly be SEVERELY dissapointed. Unlike with the majority of Steam games (such as FX2 Pinball) TPA game scores and achievements apparently must be transferred MANUALLY to additional PCs. If there is a way to transfer them to additional (or new) MACs, I have yet to discover it, or be informed of it by other players through discussion forums. Having lost my original MAC, I may have to replace my first 102 achievements (and ALL my scores) before progressing. Hopefully this review will produce the info I need, thereby proving me wrong. At that time I will HAPPILY edit or delete this review. In the interim, CAVEAT EMPTOR.

I waited quite a long time to purchase Season 4 because the tables didn't really jump out at me as must haves. Adams Family, the big Kickstarter game of the season, didn't really appeal to me all that much. I finally decided to buy it and am quite glad I did. Several of the tables were far and away more fun than I expected (Earthshaker, Red and Ted and Xenon are all great fun!) Still not on par with Season 1 or 2 in value for money and sheer goodness of the tables, but I think a substantial step up from Season 3 overall.

Can't wait till more season Four tables are made available! Farsight does an excellent job of digitizing/preserving real world tables!

Allmost all of these tables are great and fun. Safe Cracker is a little strange but not terrible. Women might be turned off by it. The womens voice goes oooohhh an ahhhh in Ecstasy. Because the computer is supposed to be a women. Xenon is an older table however I did enjoy it even though its an older table. Its got some charm. Red and Ted's Roadshow is a lot of fun. Great looking and sounding table. Addams Family is another solid pinball table its very well done. Thank you Thing. Cyclone is a classic. Great table and good flow and I love the sounds. Ride the ferris wheel. Party Zone™, Earthshaker are both solid tables. The party zone guy with the mustache looks like the guy on mythbusters. Jack*Bot is a strange version of pinbot just updated. Its still good just a little strange. Starship troopers is a tough table. I have recently gotten better at Troopers. I now use both right flippers to move the ball around. It makes a huge difference. I have them both the right flippers set to one button. Makes the table a lot more easy to score points.The flippers are very far apart and the outlanes are very easy to drain balls into. Games are over very quickly unless you really shake rattle and roll on this table. This table to me is the second weakest of the bunch. I did like the high score pictures you can select from and the tri flippers are fun. Its probably the toughest table in this pack. Good value if you enjoy modern tables as this one only has Xenon as the oldest table and even that one still feels modern. Phantom of the Opera looks and sounds great. Its a ball eater though. Unless you shake and rattle and roll your not going to get very far in this table. Its designed for you to lose your balls as quickly as possible. Several shots are dead shots. The ramp in the upper right hand corner is almost always a dead shot down the middle. The middle magic mirror is designed to make your ball go down the center. Its also a little confusing on how to get the mutiplyer. Instead of matching the 3 top lanes you instead need to hit the magic mirror that is designed to steal your ball if you make a bad shot. This is one of those tables that looks great sounds great. Flow is mostly on the silled expert side. Even more so then Star ship troopers and that table is made to lose balls. Not for new people starting out. Phantom and Troopers are made for the top pinball players. In my opinion. The rest are solid and are newbie friendly.
