    If you enjoy pinball in any shape or form, Zen Pinball 2 is a must download.

    Zen Pinball is a must-have anywhere you can grab it, and Zen Pinball 2 specifically on PlayStation 4 is equally just as desirable -- if not more-so.

    From Soho down to Brighton, it's the best videogame version of pinball you'll find.

    The great pinball simulator we already know arrives on PS4 letting us download all the tables we've already purchased on PS3 and PS Vita versions. There's no new additions, but the experience is as good and addictive as it is on other platforms.

    As it stands, the game is a fun romp, but only if you can get past the differences from real pinball psychologically.

    Solid, fun, free and cross-buy. There's really no reason not to download Zen Pinball 2 on PS4. The table included free - Sorcerer's Lair - is of excellent quality and will entertain a lot. If you have some friends to share the charts, in addition, the value of this product rises dramatically.

    It is not a bad experience, but it is probably not the one that should be at the top of your wish list.

    I'm not seeing the lag that people are speaking of in this game, perhaps was patched since the initial reviews went out. Either way, I canI'm not seeing the lag that people are speaking of in this game, perhaps was patched since the initial reviews went out. Either way, I can honestly say this is the most amazing pinball games I've ever played. Seems to look, and play smoother than the ps3 and 360 version counterparts. It's a true addiction for any self righteous pinball fan. The Star Wars boards are absolutely fantastic and have a few new exclusive tables for next gen. The Sorcerers board is probably the best, you need to get this game now. Most tables are 2.49 each.… Expand

    Fantastic pinball game. Yes its fantasy pinball and they do things you cant do in real pinball but the tables are wicked fun. Of course youFantastic pinball game. Yes its fantasy pinball and they do things you cant do in real pinball but the tables are wicked fun. Of course you have to pay for tables but they are cheap at around 2.50. Can easily burn that in a real pinball game in about 5 minutes. BUT if you own it on PS3 you can download your tables free. A few new ones to purchase if you want as well.… Expand

Each year they release around 10 or so new tables and even the worst of them is still great fun. Whether you play on PS4, PS3, or Vita, the game is great, and one purchase covers all three platforms. Zen Pinball 2 is the one game that keeps my PS Vita from gathering dust. Having 60+ awesome pinball tables to play whenever and wherever you want is heaven. A must buy for pinball fans and a game that could easily turn non-pinball fans into pinball wizards.… 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
