Pinball FX3 - Williams™ Pinball: Volume 2 DLC

Black Rose is literally unplayable. The balls fly through the center hole before you know it. Top flipper makes the ball pass on the lower left side out of play.

Worth it only for Attack on Mars. Bumpers all sound really good here. Lots of nice sound effects overall. Black Rose and Party Zone are purely for collectors as the bumper sound effects are extremely weak in comparison. Bumper hit sounds are most important to me and those two machines are not my style. Just overall not a lot of notable or fun sounds coming from either. Buy this on sale

The classic tables that are tons of fun to play. Buyers who have played mostly Zen & other digital tables should be aware that these real-life reproductions are very different. There's a very different feel to them, in some ways there's often less going on, in terms of features and modes, because, well, you just can't have entire areas disappearing or portals transporting balls etc. in real-life tables. However, what they lack in that way they do make up for in subtlety & challenge. Especially in the more realistic "Tournament" mode, these are very challenging tables. Fans of real-life pinball tables an especially of these particular classics will not be disappointed.

another Williams tables-pack from ZEN STUDIO! my [u]fun rating[/u] & ~30mins gameplay: Black Rose [b]7/10[/b] https://youtu.be/0MHHAO2t54I Attack from Mars [b]8/10[/b] https://youtu.be/e6HNsxspGUg the Party Zone [b]6/10[/b] https://youtu.be/RLk2WCKkMf4 most the Williams tables I own (pack 1-3) not complicated, but mean :) I doubt that Williams designed it in such a way that the ball, after exiting the ramp, flies right in the middle of the flippers, without the possibility of rebounding. not to mention that the multiball is just starting and you lose the balls on the sides: D I used to buy this game for these tables, but as I played other tables from the ZEN STUDIO then I find they are better than Williams :)

Absolutely loving the Williams Tables being added to PBFX3. It's great that they have different physics models available as well. Well worth the purchase!

This is a strange pack. Worth it for Attack from Mars (probably one of my favourite tables ever made) but the other two tables are a little bit of a let down. The physics also feel SUPER wacky in this pack, no idea why. But it's like playing with a ping pong ball at times. Party Zone is weird. I mean, it's designed to be weird. The whole concept of it has that kind of prepubescent teenager from the 90s vibe to it. It's like Nickelodeon made a pinball table with absolutely no idea what children want. I mean don't get me wrong it's entertaining, but it has this really out of touch vibe that kind of confuses me. It's like the whole table is an in joke (which is sort of is, seeing as it's based on another pin - Dr Dude) Black Rose I have this really strange relationship with. I LOVE the design. I love the flow of the table. I love the things to see and do, but the issue lies with the fact that there's literally only one thing worth doing to get big points. SINK SHIPS.... When you start sinking more and more ships it makes absolutely no sense to shoot for the broadside. It's too dangerous and the game just becomes somewhat of an endurance test. Which is reinstated more when you see how strange the ball behaves on the playfield. Honestly. This pin is EVIL, the ball zooms around like nothing I've ever seen and drains more than torrential rain. I love the challengee, but some people could be put off by this. Now, Attack from Mars is something special. The flow of this table is absolutely beautiful. It's fast, it's challenging, but entirely engrossing. The strategy here is to drop the force-field and then trigger a multiball mode (there's 3 on this table) which will enable you to shoot at the UFO with the safety of knowing you wont loose your balls. Definitely the best pin in the pack and one of the best pins in PBFX3 to date. Get this on offer. If you're enthusiastic about pinball, you wont be disappointed. But I think most people will mainly get this for AFM, and feel a little deflated that the other pins aren't at the same standard. This isn't zen's fault by any means. Definitely worth a look though!

[b]Attack from Mars[/b] Entertaining table with a good flow and several modes including a couple multiball modes. In Classic Arcade it's very challenging and hard to control the ball. I can only just beat the wizard mode. I do like it even though it might be a little bit too hard compared to other tables. In Classic Tournament the table is incredibly hard, you need to anticipate the ball's every move to be able to nudge just in time to prevent a drain. [b]Black Rose[/b] The table looks nice with a unique layout design, multiple modes including two multiball modes. In Classic Arcade it's pretty much unplayable. The canon doesn't fire accurately. The slope is very low which makes the ball appear very light and the nudges too strong. The ball is slow and bounces all over the place. I regularly shoot balls sideways over the left ramps. It is kind of amusing that can happen because IRL balls can fly over objects as well but it should be rare. If you use analogue nudging you can do bang backs without even getting warnings. In Classic Tournament the canon fires more accurately and the slope is a little bit better making it just playable. Bang backs are still possible though. [b]Party Zone[/b] The table itself is ok, it might be fun but it has the same slope problem as Black Rose, hence I've been ignoring this table. In Classic Tournament it is somewhat playable. - I hope these tables get updated with the implementation of the new flipper physics soon but until then I can not recommend this DLC unless you really want to play these tables and/or don't mind waiting for them to get fixed. If this would be your first Williams volume I'd recommend to start with another.

A good pack, but there are better packs for beginners. - ATTACK FROM MARS: a lot of fun to play. The best part is shooting saucers and reaching Mars. This table alone makes the pack worth it's value. - THE PARTY ZONE: a fun table that feels a bit older. Enough things to shoot and some modes that can be started. - BLACK ROSE: a nice table that feels a bit older. The cannon is nice. The ball can go down the drain very fast. This table is lower on my favorites list.

Great collection of 3 bally williams pinball tables. Attack from mars is probably my favorite with black rose being a close second. The physics they created with the first pack are just as great here. They also allow you to choose a family friendly version or a fully uncensored version this time around which is nice.

Zen was able to pull out another great pack. Right off the bat, biggest improvement from volume 1 is the sound. All three tables sound amazing, with much of the clicks and clacks from the machine parts from the real life tables. I find myself turning up the volume just to hear it all . Table music sounds crisp and loud in a good way. Reminds of being in the arcade back when I was a kid, and the music just blaring out of those back speakers. Gameplay is once again top notch. With this latest table pack, also came a patch release. , I can feel that the physics has been slightly changed, but feels satifying to play. Also, much of the censorship has been removed, giving you the option of either playing the authentic or family version. The censorship didn't really bother me all that much as it was very unnoticeable, but I am sure this will make all the purist happy. Very much recommend this table pack.
