AntMan (1)

 

Cons:

  • Only one new trophy.
  • Really busy table with all the action making a good run difficult.
  • Lot to take in with all the mission prompts and notifications.
  • Not proper voices of actors.

AntMan (3)

The Ant man table certainly ramps up the mission variety in Zen Pinball 2. A whole host of new challenges are in here with a few new ways to play them. It is refreshing to see innovation is still important to Zen after all these tables. I personally found it too busy with all the lights and bings and bops going off but thats me. In short the table is a lot of fun and really pushes the DLC further than before.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
