    If you like pinball and Star Wars, this game is as close to perfection as you're likely to get. Playing in vertical mode is a game changer for pinball games, the HD rumble is very immersive, and the value is frankly incredible (19 intricate licensed tables for $30 feels like robbery).

The career mode is surprisingly well thought out too. The gameplay is more addicting that you're likely prepared for. After all, it's just pinball, right? Prepare to be wrong. Minus one point for some of the voice acting. Really though, this game is perfection.… Expand

    Scrapped my old 7 score. I love this game. Not in to Star Wars, borderline dislike Star Wars. I can take, or leave pinball but this game has had me wanting to watch films again that I never liked in the first place and wanting to play pinball. Just an amazingly fun game.

    If you love Star Wars and pinball you're in for a good time here! 19 tables provide lots of variety and the sound effects and extra visual effects add a lot to the overall experience. There are a number of novel challenges which help to keep things fresh and everything is very shiny and professionally finished to a very high standard.

The addition of minigames as features of some tables is also a nice inclusion. An absolute bargain at 40% off but also worth a full price purchase if you are a fan of Star Wars and pinball games.… Expand

    - Only uses music from the original film trilogy (1977-1983), which feels very out of place with tables based on the newer movies

    Never before has my enjoyment of a video game been so diminished by a relentlessly persistent pop-up ad. [Issue #42 – October 2019, p. 70]

    Star Wars Pinball is a collection containing all the Star Wars tables that were previously released as downloadable content for Pinball FX3. Most of the included tables are very well-made and offers good diversity and fun mini games. Although, if you have no interest in pinball games, or Star Wars for that matter, you will not find much joy here. For everyone else, however, this is a great warm-up for the final part of the Skywalker saga.

    This game is an unbeatable way to remember the entire story of Star Wars so far. With its 19 tables and hundreds of actions to do on them, you will enjoy it if you are a Star Wars fan or if you like pinball games in general.
