First off....I LOVE Pinball FX2. I have every table for it...this game is always a fun break from my other games.
The first pack of three Star Wars tables were released on XBL this morning for 800 pts. They include an Empire Strikes Back table, Boba Fett table, and a Clone Wars table. I got some time in with them this morning before I left for work.
The ESB table is pretty damn cool. Lots going on with it, very active sounds and a fun layout. This table is my favorite so far, and it's the coolest of the three.
The CW table is probably the most challenging to me. It's not quite as active as the ESB table, but I lost more balls on this table than the other two by a big margin. It's got 'tough rolls' and a little harder to get the kickback activated. This CW table is tough in a fun way though and it's the one I will tackle again first when I play tonight. The only bit I'm not crazy about is that Yoda speaks 'Yoda-isms' quite a bit; I'd much rather hear banter from Anakin, Obi Wan, and Ahsoka with an occasional Yoda quip myself.
Finally the BF table. Like the ESB table, it's really active, with fantastic music cues and sound FX. It's got multiple flippers like all three tables do, but this one has a third flipper on the left side at a funky angle that is really tough to use correctly. Using it wound up making the ball go down the drain about 40% of the time, and the gain from using it hasn't yielded anything spectacular just yet. Need to work with it some more...
Multi-ball on all three tables is really tough, even with just two at one time! I'm usually pretty good with multi-ball chaos, but with these tables...again, need more time with them.
Anyway, if you dig SW and pinball I highly recommend them. If you haven't liked Pinball FX2, then I guess these won't change your mind.
