    Really cool game and works well in VR. Much better than I expected and as close as can get to having a real pinball table. Only 3 tables to start and others seem a little expensive but am sure will be able to pick up in sales later next year.

    Given the graphical limitations of PSVR, the makers of this game have done well. I find that having to constantly look down to play the game causes the weight of the headset to annoy my neck, so I keep to shorter play sessions as a result. I don't have a problem with the majority of the tables being DLC, but it is annoying that we are expected to pay more for the "season one" expansionGiven the graphical limitations of PSVR, the makers of this game have done well.

The option to pick up additional tables a la carte rather than a forced five pack would have been appreciated.… Expand

    Wonderful, and at roughly £4 a table, really good value for money (as you'd pay £1 just for a go at the arcade). Before I played this, I thought only big scale things were worth doing in VR, this has totally changed that perception. The tables feel so real, and the sense of presence is great. If you have PSVR, give this a try. If you don't... buy a PSVR.

    I have always played pinball games, starting on the free windows one years ago. Then when i seen this come out on the PSVR i had to give it a go and i am so glad i did.

    The graphics are fine and you can change your view once in the game by looking up or down and holding start to recenter the VR.

    The walking dead pinball table is a great addition to my room but only having 3 tables at a time is quite annoying as if i had a real room like this virtual one there would be a lot more than 3 tables. That said once you are on the table you forget about that fact and are focused on beating previous scores and trying to beat the table.

    If you have a VR and you are reading this i would recommend that you buy the game and give it a go, the three tables included are fun enough and if like me you enjoy it then buy yourself some more tables and hopefully i will see you on the scoreboard in future.

    Pros
    Graphics
    Great table movement
    Realistic feel to the tables
    Cost
    Additional tables

    Cons
    Having to look down can lead to a sore neck which can limit table time.    … Expand

    I didn't know I enjoyed Pinball So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Much. I don't get it!! I went to a Pinball Place in Daytona FL didn't really enjoy it. But put on the VR Headset put me in a million $$ condo with Pinball Games Well Hell Buddy that's a different ball game! They need more tables or the next FX game needs to convert over to VR.

    Really nice VR pinball game which makes a lot of fun. The tables are very well polished and each table has its own concept. It is one of my favorite VR games just because it is less immersive thanks to the motionless view. The perfect game to play in between when most of other VR games are too less relaxed. The only negativ is the high price to get all tables. Something which is not new byReally nice VR pinball game which makes a lot of fun.

    Despite Pinball FX2 VR’s lack of motion controls, it is nice to have another game for the Quest where you can just sit down and be immersed. Soon the minutes fade away, as you pursue the next high score. Perhaps Zen Studios will bring over more tables from the non-VR version of the game in the future, or maybe even bring Pinball FX3 to VR, but for now this is the only way a pinball wizard can show their magic while on the go.

    Pinball and VR fit together really nicely and it’s a lot of fun to see each table’s setting come to life around you while you play. [02/2017, p.39]

    I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed the additional immersion of Pinball FX2 VR. It’s completely nausea free, and it looks fantastic to boot. While the neck angle required to work the table is a little uncomfortable, Pinball FX2 VR is a great new way to experience the amazing work of Zen Studios and their pinball tables.
