Not only do Lee and Clementine look just like they do in the original (thanks to Telltale sharing the original art assets with the Zen folk), but Zen also got to use Lee and Clementine’s original dialog tracks as well.
THE PINBALL ARCADE VS ZEN PINBALL 2 ON PS4 PLUS
Plus you get to hit a zombie with a satisfying “thump.”ĭoes a good job of being faithful to Telltale’s Walking Dead game. Because of this, the table really keeps you engaged and on your toes. Far more than in any other Zen table I can think of. Though what makes The Walking Dead table so much fun is that its bumpers, ramps, and corridors are set up in such a way that the ball is constantly heading for the flippers. It’s a really clever bit that not only throws you for a loop, but it got me thinking that a reverse pinball table would be fun to play on its own. Again, meeting certain requirements that I won’t spoil, there are times when you’ll find yourself briefly playing a miniature pinball table, but one where the flippers are reversed, and facing outward instead of inwards. The Walking Dead even does something we haven’t seen in many of Zen’s tables: a table inside the table. There’s even times when, if you meet certain conditions, the view changes to the scope of a sniper rifle that you can use to shoot some other zombies. In the case of The Walking Dead, what this means is that while the ball bounces off the bumpers like it has weight, and sounds like metal on wood, it also has a zombies that walk onto the table and attack people. Then imagine if you could make a pinball table that had all kinds of crazy mechanisms which would never fit inside a real table, and would make said table ridiculously expensive even if you could built it.

Or maybe that’s just me having a blast with one of the best tables Zen have ever made.įor those unfamiliar with Pinball FX 2 or either version of Zen Pinball, try to imagine a spot-on simulation of a pinball machine, with all the authentic physics and sound effects of a real pinball machine. But what would’ve made that emotionally gripping game even better is if there had been a metal ball flying around the whole time, knocking into things.Īnd yet, in playing The Walking Dead pinball table that Zen Studio have made for their games Pinball FX2 (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PCs via Steam), Zen Pinball 2 (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, WiiU, Mac), and Zen Pinball (iOS, Android, Amazon Fire), it’s hard not to get a little choked up. The Walking Dead adventure game by Telltale is arguably one of the most engaging adventure games of the last few years.
