    The Portal add-on to Zen Pinball 2 is another excellent addition to the already-strong lineup of tables available, and having played most of the selections on offer, I'd say this one ranks right near the top. For anyone who loves Portal, pinball, or both, this is an absolute no-brainer.

    Zen Studios has done a great job with this table that both pinball and Portal fans can enjoy.

    Zen Pinball 2: Portal Pinball is a marvellous experience which makes you want to pull out the Portal games and play them all over again.

    With tons of references and entertaining gameplay, Portal Portal is a great new table. It’s a little thin on content and will require the purchase of either Zen Pinball 2 or Pinball FX2 to play it, however, so it’s an investment that those coming only for the Portal aspect might need to rationalize.

    Portal Pinball is definitely an excellent addition to the Zen Pinball 2 lineup, but that is based purely on its solid pinball mechanics and roots. The Portal aspect comes across as nothing more than cosmetic, which seems like a lost opportunity.

    It’s not quite a triumph, but Zen Pinball 2’s Portal table is a stand out in the series’ expansive table list. While there may not be enough meat here to thrill Portal fans with a passing fancy for virtual pinball, it’s definitely a solid choice for anyone who has enjoyed Zen Pinball 2’s other games.

    A decent enough addition for those collecting Zen Pinball 2: Portal tables though it is a slightly empty homage to Aperture Science.

    Excellent Pinball table, if you are expecting it to be Portal you are in for a bad time, Pinball tables are usually more of a homage. PinballExcellent Pinball table, if you are expecting it to be Portal you are in for a bad time, Pinball tables are usually more of a homage. Pinball is puzzle like, its very tough, in fact much tougher than Portal, for 3$ you get a game with far more replay value.… Expand

    They charge $10 for each and every terrible licensed level... Star Wars $10, Hello Kitty $10, Dora the Explorer $10. They are just scammingThey charge $10 for each and every terrible licensed level... Star Wars $10, Hello Kitty $10, Dora the Explorer $10. They are just scamming obsessive fans.

    Funny how "free to play" games end up costing you way more than if you'd bought them outright?    … Expand
