    This is the worst thing ever! I am a pinball aficionado, I've logged over 340 hours in this game, and I can honestly say that this is the worst pinball experience ever. It literally made me regret spending my life as a pinball expert at the cost of being a virgin. I've played better pinball at a honkey-tonk bar in the middle of ho-dun nowhere! This game is so bad that I literally created aThis is the worst thing ever!

It literally made me regret spending my life as a pinball expert at the cost of being a virgin. I've played better pinball at a honkey-tonk bar in the middle of ho-dun nowhere! This game is so bad that I literally created a Metacritic account just to write this review because every minute wasted on this game is a minute that could be spent saving lives. This game can suck my nards, and peace out nerds! Expand

    If you're a huge pinball fan you might enjoy this, but I sure didn't. The first free board/map is pretty OK, but the two other maps I bought were so bad I just quit playing (do NOT buy "Defenders of the Galaxy", whatever you do). Also, the achievements are retarded, but I'm not sure how to avoid this on a micro transaction pinball game.

    I might be unfairly harsh with the score here, I

    I might be unfairly harsh with the score here, I probably shouldn't punish a pinball game for being a pinball game, but I'm just not enjoying it at all.

    TLDR; If you love pinball, I'm sure you might like this too. If not, look for a zombie game or something.

    A top pinball game to play with friends, but on your own it can get boring. [Issue#116, p.80]

    If you enjoy pinball, or are just curious about the game, Pinball FX2 is as close as you can get to the real thing.

    When all is said and done, Pinball FX2 for the Xbox One is easily the best version of the franchise thanks to its new interface — even if you have to deal with a hiccup or two when importing your titles.
