Zen Studios today announced that they will have a 3 pack of tables coming out sometime in Feb and they will be Star Wars tables.

ShinobiSteve81 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I wonder how many tables will eventually be out, since this is a new hub game. Just as long as there isn't a Jar-Jar table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildmn34 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Just posted a Games Radar video featuring all three tables. They all look really well done. Really looking forward to the release of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Ambassador Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Awesome news! These are most definitely the tables I've been looking for. The Boba Fett table in particular looks very cool. It's a shame that when Vader came on screen, standing next to Boba on the left, his face is completely obscured by that oversized score box.

No Jar Jar table, Steve. You don't have to worry. That was confirmed by our community manager at Zen, Barbiebobomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildmn34 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well guy. I got my hands on a review code for the tables. Review embargo until Tuesday. But, I can say this. They are even better than I hoped. Some of Zens best work yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinkimono Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Good tables and nice to finally get a wizard mode achievement again even if it was a bit on the easy side (for beeing wizard mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDresden Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 after spending some time with the tables, I think it's overall good, but I'm a little disappointed with only 3 tables for 800msp instead of the usual 4 pack in the past with the marvel sets clone wars: This is the best table of the 3, lots of ramps, the missions are fun, dialogue directly from the show. I'm currently 135 on the leaderboard, which I have to admit is really cool for me, since my rank on various boards is usually in the 1000s. I know I'll drop when more people play, but still, I'm happy boba fett: haven't put all that much time in this table. It's a good table, but haven't been able to collect any bounties on it yet. I also find of the 3 tables, I'm losing the most balls on the left/right drop. I've been getting lots of bad bounces on this table empire strikes back: I've got to say, this table has me really mixed. there isn't too many ramps & the central part of the table is very frustrating. It's got a loop, and changing panels depending on whats lit. This is where you trigger jedi training (fun) and missions, which are scenes from the movie & a really cool part of the table. However, it's the missions themselves that tend to be very frustrating. They all seem to have a timer of 30 seconds (i think) and when it gets to 10 seconds, a ticking sound starts to let you know you're running out of time. You also have to hit the loop in the middle for most missions, sometimes 5 times, which is annoying when you've got 30 seconds. When a mission fails, a 'force field' goes up over the loop area while it resets. hitting the field destroys your ball and it launches again from the launch ramp. It really breaks up the flow & if you've been in a rhythm, it'll probably piss you off. overall though, aside from some frustrations on the empire table, it's fun stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'll drop when more people play, but still, I'm happy By far the easiest table of the group. You can get some pretty stupid scores on it. The achievement is pretty cool too. boba fett: haven't put all that much time in this table. It's a good table, but haven't been able to collect any bounties on it yet. I also find of the 3 tables, I'm losing the most balls on the left/right drop. I've been getting lots of bad bounces on this table Don't give up on this table. It's a blast once you figure out the bounties, at least the first couple. Once you get close to filling in Fetts last name they become a pain in the ass. I have yet to complete Fett. Always choke at the end. But, once you learn the table and bounces, when to tilt, you' ll dig it a lot more. empire strikes back: I've got to say, this table has me really mixed. there isn't too many ramps & the central part of the table is very frustrating.

Some of the missions are confusing, and see to end very quickly if you're not perfect. Still learning the ins and outs of the table though. So, maybe I am just missing something or not understanding what they are wanting me to do. Visually the table is beautiful though and the sounds/music gives me chills. Wonder what the 7 other tables will be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clone Wars is the hardest if talking about the whole table including wizard mode, guessing you ment achievement wise. As for Boba Fett it's not over when you've spelled the name, after that you have to follow Han Solo around and then you fight the hentai monster where it's game on for the achievements.

TeamFreeWill Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Bought this pack last night, Clone Wars is definitely the best table, in my opinion anyway. I struggle to even get 500k on Boba Fett =/ & V drives me round the bend - I cannot do the Jedi training part =(. I do think that 800MSP was a little steep though, 600MSP would have been more reasonable. Fun (if slightly frustrating) tables though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that 800MSP was a little steep though, 600MSP would have been more reasonable. Fun (if slightly frustrating) tables though. Boba Fett has a high learning curve. Stick with it. Also, there is a tournament going on right now with that table as well. No need to be "good" finish a complete round and you can randomly win. Also, the 800 msp for 3 tables is high, but once you understand how much they had to pay for the Star Wars license it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, excellent point on the pricing, I didn't even think about the license fees. Didn't know about the tournament, I'll give Boba Fett another go, cheers =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
