Ok I've played the trial tables quite a many times and here's my little rundown:
Wolverine:
- Definitely the worst. I don't like the looks or sounds, it doesn't seem to have much interesting stuff on it
Spiderman:
- The 2nd best. Here I do like the looks and sounds including music. It captures the essence of Spider-man well and there's more stuff going on
Iron Man:
- 3rd, a slight positive surprise. I don't like Iron Man and didn't like this table either based on what I saw. But actually the table has nice speed, plenty of targets and it's perhaps actually the 2nd best replication of the hero
Blade:
- The best like expected. It shows someone at Zen likes this guy. It looks and sounds great, there's everything I expect from a table and more.
So originally I thought only 2 of the tables are worth it but now it's 3/4 and this pack is in the same situation as the Classic pack. I like Speed Machine and Agents while Buccaneer is decent and Extreme is holding the entire pack down.
Though it seems like Marvel tables look a lot worse on SDTV than the older ones. There are tons of details but they're all too small and blurry to really enjoy
Wolverine is awesome. And so are the others. I'm just slightly dissapointed in Spider-Man en Ironman, but that is probably going to change very soon.
So Zen, well done on this awesome add-on!!!! Keep up the good work! I hope Pinball FX is selling as good as you were expecting.Or even better.Last edited by Lukky NL; 12-08-2010, 04:19 PM.Comment

Maybe you shouldn't review tables on trial basis...

Hey, I said I've only tested the trial so people can take it with a pinch of salt. But the trials can do pretty much everything the full tables can. Not to flame but I've seen people who like and buy anything pinball so I can't take their criticism too seriously either
As for purchasing, I haven't bought the classic pack either yet and like I said this is in the same situation. 2 good, 1 decent and 1 bad. I even dare to say that once they're patched I'm more likely to buy the classics first because they look better on SDTVComment

I've played Wolverine, Iron Man and Spidey so far and cab't pick a favourite as they are all fantastically designed.
As a comic reader, I'm loving the nuances. The fact that the actual font used as the Wolverine Title is used for the scoring. The use of the fastball special in the same table.
These are AAA tables and I can't wait to see more tables of this quality on the Pinball FX 2 platformComment

ive just got home from work so have still to download it.. and im not happy that multiforce has got a head start im still trying to beat his other scores
oh and yes after a lot more play ROME is now becoming one of my fav tables.Last edited by satch; 12-08-2010, 05:25 PM.Comment

I'd say Iron Man is the worst table. The ramps are difficult to hit (yeah, I suck ) so I pretty much can't start anything yet. Blade is definitely the coolest table, I can't say is it the best too, yet. Wolverine and Spider Man seem easier and Iron Man and Blade harder.Comment

i think when people say it's a 'rome' table they mean difficult not relly poor.
i would put iron man as my 'rome' of the four marvel tables.
spiderman seems a rocky and bullwinlle almost.
blade is my favourite,i have been really wanting a pinball table heavy on plot and that being a game where you control it on a pinball table type thing some tables have.
wolverine i like but it feels a very steep table with a heavy ball.
has some parts where i am caught out by how quickly the ball can move.
this pack is amazing overall.
far better than the 4 fx2 tables, themselves better than all the fx1 tables.
i feel they should have capitalised on fx2 release by bring out mars and paranormal before marvel tables.
there are more marvel on the way and i don't see the zen tables mustering as much thunder now.Comment

Only other one tried so far is Spider-man. Seems really easy - only one game and it took about 30 minutes, and first drain was cause I was watching Ock and not paying attention.Comment

Maybe they will release those between future Marvel tables. Mars or Paranormal next, please. Marvel is ok and an endless source for tables, but it gets monotonous if it's just superheroes/villains. That's one reason why I preferred FX2 platform over PS3's Marvel Pinball game, kind of silly to own "Marvel Pinball" when you only know the characters thanks to a few (mostly mediocre) Hollywood movies..Comment

I practiced this with slow motion. Without it I have trouble even reaching one million points total with 3 balls. This table is a piece of s***. With other Marvel tables I'm in 20-30 million range.Comment

Same argument that some other dude used on Rome. I just don't get it why it is relevant to compare scores on so different tables.
I agree that the targets is a bit risky but you just need to train. Most of the ramps are easy to hit, and the targets you have to hit to start a mission is easiest to hit when you hold the ball first. That way you almost always know where the ball is going afterwards.

Variety is the spice of life!!!
Since the new fx 2 core tables, the only fx tables I played was Earth Defence and Excalibur. With the new Marvel Table's, I will only go back to play the fx 2 tables. Fx 2's table's, including these new Marvel tables are so much "better" than the original fx tables. I am sure there are people that still love the fx table's, but they just don't have the pulling power and the wealth of game enjoyment. I could'nt understand why I was never able to play for long times - even though I love pinball. Trust me - I don't have that problem any more with fx 2 and marvel tables - just can't stay away.
I love the fx 2 tables. I don't think the Marvel table's are necessary "better" than the core fx 2 tables, even though they are absolutely great. I am sure if you are a Marvel fan boy it is a different story, but for me I play each table on merit and I just love the variety!! So - ZEN - please bring on as many tables as you can and I will keep on buying them if they are anywhere as good as these existing fx 2 tables.
I do have one or two frustrations with the game: for one - I just can't get a camera angle that is perfect for me. I end up playing with view 4, but I just can't always clearly see what is going on at the top of the table. View 6 is just too far away and View 3 has way too much movement and I end up loosing the ball down the middle way too much. The tables dimensions also seems to differ from each other - e.g. Blade seem to have a lot more "movement" with view 4. So Zen - please consider putting in adjustable came control's - it will only make the experience better for the people that love it so much already!!!!
The second "frustration" I have is with some of the "recycled sounds" in the Marvel tables, as somebody mentioned elsewhere - the Blade table has quite a few annoying sounds that was clearly used in earlier tables. It would be great if they could be replaced.
Lastly, an apologies for the long post, will you please make your rule sheets available for the tables. I get frustrated with figuring out even the simple things such as how to get multipliers on Spiderman - It happens but I still don't know how - I am sure it has a simple explanation - just haven't been able to figure it out!!. I don't have time for trawling forums to get these answers - I'll rather play the game An for those of you that don't believe in rule sheets, just don't use it - but there are plenty of people who will love to have it.XBox One Gamertag - PinStratsDan
