FP:

Thanks again, brother. The tables are great-I think Spidey might be my favorite, but all four are really well done.

Fellas Who Didn't Win: :twisted:

They're worth it-especially if you're into Marvel, but very cool either way.

Brief impressions on each table:

Spider Man: Very fast table, lots to see and do, and the ramp that comes out of Spidey's hand like a web is quite cool. This one's like riding a thrill coaster.

Iron Man: At first, this one was good, but not great. Then I managed to get Tony Stark to transform into Iron Man, and the game took off. Great all around table, complete with Tony, Whiplash, and the Samurai.

Wolverine: Good strategic table. Plenty of chances to whoop up on Sabretooth in this one. Little harder to get higher scores.

Blade: Ah, now this I like. Lots to do, lots to see, kind of a mishmash of everything that's good about all the others all rolled together. Great scoring opportunities, and great atmosphere.

The Zen guys did Marvel proud. Among the best tables in the entire collection. Great job, fellas.

DL and played this today with the gf. We both liked it a lot. The tables are designed well and offer a fun variety of things to do. I still cannot say which table is my favorite since it will take a couple hours minimum on each table to get a good feel for them and learn everything about them. The ball physics are good and I really like that you can follow the action and the ball without it getting lost on too busy a table. Sometimes video pinball games do a great job of making a colorful table, but there is so much stuff on it that the ball is too hard to follow. That isn't the case with any of these tables. I also like the numerous camera angles from which to choose. BTW, some of the high scores on the leaderboards are flat-out sick. To sum things up: Marvel Pinball is a great collection of tables that I will be taking time to play even though I have several great racing games I play a lot.

Have been able to put in a lot more time with each table. Heck, I even bought a pack of four other tables. Hard to choose a favorite. I play one for an hour, then play another one for an hour, and so on. Very addictive game.

There are some hints on the Pause Menu. Something like Help & Options -> Rule Sheet (not sure the exact spot). Not comprehensive and sometimes a little confusing if you don't know the terminology, but will point you in the right direction.

Already won a code last time around, so don't need to put me in the drawing, but wanted to say thanks for the heads-up on the new table. Looks like it will be fun.

I had random.org draw a number from 1-5, and it was a 5, meaning that bulls23 gets the code.

I'll be giving away a code for the next Marvel table (hint: one of the characters featured in it is dead in the current Marvel universe) sometime in May.

Yes - but it does not come with any tables. You can download trial versions of each table, though.

Finally fixed my Xbox so got a chance to play this over the weekend. Brief impressions:

-You can set a custom camera (not sure if you can on other tables) AND 5 or 6 preselected views.
-Fun little pinball table with plenty to do and watch
-Really like how the game sets different targets on the table you need to aim for to get bonus points
-Space shuttle in the middle is a cool touch, it can do a lot of different things with the ball
-Table gives a good feeling of being in outerspace
-Not a high difficulty level, lots of ball saves I noticed
-If you like hitting ramps, you'll like this table
