Being a pinball fan, I was eager to download and play ZEN Pinball available on the PlayStation network. After spending some time with it, I can honestly say it’s the best pinball game I’ve played on any console (take that Sonic Spinball). What makes it the best? Glad you asked.

The game comes with 4 loaded boards, each different from each other. It doesn’t seem like a lot of content but each stage is loaded up with different paths and places to open up. You can easily spend a few rounds on one stage while forgetting there are 3 other boards to play. Each board layout does a good job maintaining your attention and keeps you playing even when your 3 balls are done. And for you trophies enthusiasts out there, each board has 4 trophies by activating certain tricks.

In additional to the normal solo player game, it also offers some multiplayer fun and a tournament mode. Multiplayer and tournament are just as you would suspect they would be like. Multiplayer offers numerous players to join in on the fun and tournament is all about the high score. One cool aspect with the game is it has an information bar that runs constantly on the main screen letting you know about high scores and game information. The bar’s text is set up to look just like an actual pinball machine’s text; it’s not really needed but adds to the pinball experience.

I would highly recommend this game, especially if you enjoy pinball games. It’s fast pinball fun presented in vibrant, colorful graphics. The content put into this game can keep you occupied for quite some time and I could definitely see them adding more into this game. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.
