  This VR version of Pinball FX2 is actually too good. It hurts my soul. It just begs the question why now in practically the year 2023 is this still the best version of VR pinball ANYWHERE! It hurts because so little was done with this. Nothing else compares. Sure we can play Star Wars VR pinball but it is SO LOW QUALITY compared to this. There are even Homebrew options for VR Pinball like FP or VPX but they are just not as well done as this. It saddens me that Zen did not do anything more with this and release a disgustingly low quality port of Star Wars tables. The love and attention to detail Zen gave the tables here really shows. Even if you don't care about all the flashy effects that surround the table when you play at least you gotta admit the Tables are lovingly crafted with beautiful 3d models that look fantastic if VR. I just wish some more could have been done with this title. So Sad.........

  Grab your neck brace your going to need it on this one! This is VRs fault not game. Before you buy try this for me. Put your vive on and now tilt your head slightly down, and now hold it there for 30mins. How's your neck feel? Well today I can feel stretched muscles down my back from my neck. This is aggregated by the fact the the lenses are blurry (as you know) around the edges forcing you to quite often tilt your head even further. With the graphics set high and ss at 1.4 with async on I find it a lot better. But I do own a 1080 Now the review of the game. The tables look great up close in vr as pinball is made for vr or vr is made for pinball 😉 easy tables

  Get a table 35" high, place the Vive wands 22" apart on the table, laying on their sides with the triggers out and secure them to the table. Line up the controllers with the flipper buttons in the game, start playing and then curse Zen Studios for destroying your job, marriage, health and sanity, and giving you only unbridled happiness in return.

  I must start by saying I like pinball video games, but I've always found Pinball FX2 a bit boring by comparison with The Pinball Arcade. Although the VR version of Pinball FX2 is the same game, it somehow feels more authentic. I don't know if they changed something or not, but suddenly the ball moves and sounds more like a real pinball table with extra toys and special effects. Standing over the virtual table, you know it's virtual, but it looks much like a real table. In terms of the VR experience, it is perfectly suited to everyone's space because unlike most other VR games, you can stand or sit still and you don't have to wave your arms around as you would for a shooting game. Even the menu is controlled by head tracking. I think standing makes a big difference to the experience, but adjusting the viewing angle is not very precise and you can end up with neck ache from looking down at the flippers. Unfortunately, as with the regular Pinball FX2, the tables still seem too easy and sometimes you are defeated by tiredness rather than a lack of skill as a game turns into a marathon session where the ball is saved over and over again. I guess that would count in the game's favour if you are a pinball novice. Still, I enjoyed playing the game a great deal and I would play the VR version now in preference to playing it on screen. I would definitely recommend Pinball FX2 VR to pinball fans and VR enthusiasts alike. The VR version is making me like Pinball FX2 more than before and it didn't leave me feeling motion-sick like some VR games do.

  Just a blast game to play in VR!!! My only complaint is that I will have to buy all tables that I already have in the normal version... thats abusive from the developers... Not sure but they just could have released a patch to bring it to VR but instead they chose to milk us all again with some 3D evioriment that would have been added for free... aor maybe gave us a discount on the final price for those tatbles that we already have... anyway, I will buy it again... but only on a discount.

  [h1]Pinball FX2 VR - [i]This is how pinball games SHOULD be played![/i][/h1] I am going to start this review with one simply thing, if you do not have VR (and i mean one of the big vr kits not the mobile phone thing) then this review is not for you, i know you are tempted to call VR a gimmick, to downvote/dislike etc as i say it is how it should be played, resist try the game in VR. Ok so i have been a Zen Pinball fan for many years (Zen? But this is FX2!.... Well on the ps3 then ps4 it was called zen pinball) I owned most of the ps3 tables and when the ps4 came out i was able to import them, I confess i was a little annoyed when i downloaded the pc version and could not import my tables! So on the ps4 i own ...well nearly all of them if i am honest, these are really really well made tables! Sadly on the VR version there is only a tiny selection of tables and no sign that we will get any more. This does include the awesome Epic Quest table though. It was annoying that the tables had to be re-brought (those i own on the ps4) but i was willing to do so to help support the developers. [b]ROOMSCALE / ENVIRONMENT / GRAPHICS[/b] You can have 3 tables active in the room space at any one time, however this is largely academic as you will only ever be playing one at a time (even if they let you play all three at once i doubt you have enough arms!) this does seem to be a disappointment to some and i confess i do not understand why (again i am only in possession of two arms and one head so perhaps those with multiple of them want to play more than one at once?) The area you play in is done well and you have easy access to the menu and leaderboards, what is really cool is that each table comes with props that float and animate around you while you play, the animations on the tables are also really well done and translate well into VR (i so want to play the portal table or see what they come up with for the deadpool table in VR...one can dream) [b]PERFORMANCE[/b] I had no issues at all and there is plenty of options to tailor the game to your machines specifications, i have heard people bemoaning the performance but as i say it worked great for me and since this is my review…..no performance issues. There is a bug that is unrelated to performance, and more a “why the hell have they not fixed this yet thing” - The tables are very low which means when you stand your looking down a lot, not comfy with the vive and easily fixed with a height slider (Their community manager actually said to stand a stool or chair, reset the position then jump down…..proving that sometimes people just do not think, personally when blindfolded by the vive i avoid climbing on chairs, perhaps that makes me a coward lol) I did find though that being sat and loading the game seemed to put it at the right height for me to play sat down. [b]INTUITIVENESS[/b] It is pinball, you hit the ball with the flippers and scream at it when it jumps down the whole at the bottom. Can not get much more intuitive than that. The controls are clearly displayed on your wands too. [b]MULTIPLAYER:[/b] It has leaderboards, i for one like beating my mates scores (on the ps4 i am top dog on every table i own :) among my mates). [b]PROS:[/b] [list] [*] The pinball tables are exceptionally well done. [*] The animations around the table are very cool and add a good atmosphere (and amusement). [*] Pinball in VR works really well, i do not think i can go back to flatscreen pinball now (annoying as i have £100+ worth of tables over the years on the ps4) [/list] [b]CONS:[/b] [list] [*] Seems abandoned by the developers, no additional tables or important bugfixes. [*] Fx3 is coming out soon and has no VR, this is a bad sign for FX2 VR. [/list] [b]VERDICT[/b] Getting it shows the developers that VR pinball is something we want to see more off, but only get it if you are happy to keep it how it is (for the content available now it is not cheap but worth it) I am deeply displeased that the company has all but abandoned VR and i really hope they do a U-Turn on Fx3 and add VR support, i certainly will not buy any FX3 content while they avoid VR,i just can not go back to playing it flatscreen, the ability to see the whole table makes playing it just so much more enjoyable. As the only VR pinball table game i have played (are there others?) and ignoring the fact the company has, as i say, all but abandoned us, i do recommend it, most highly.

  Not playable for Oculus Rift owners. First of all you have to start the game and select the screen on your desktop view or else it isn't the active window. Secondly the Rift controlers do not work like you would expect them to do (the A button is hidden under right thumb down and click and B is Right thumb right and click). When using my XBox One controler the game was easier to navigate (A was A and B was B and the cross button and left and right triggers did what they had to do). But when i selected a machine the option to 'launch' a ball was nowhere to find. Problems about this where mentioned a year ago but it seems Zen Studios is still meditating on a solution for the problem.

  "OCULUS RIFT REVIEW" The only reason i cannot recommend this game is due to the lack of optimization for Oculus Rift. Just to start the game you have to do down on the right thumb stick and click it for "A" and right on the right thumb stick and click it for "B". This is not right to be offering a game that says it is setup for the Oculus Rift and it does not work correctly. The only reason i cannot refund it is due to how much visual features Zen puts into their games and this is the only one like this for pinball in VR. If your looking for a visual game of pinball in VR, get this game. But if you are looking for a smooth, working properly, and flawless game of pinball in vr, do not buy this game. You will not be happy.

  Controls for Oculus Rift are laughable, Press A to coniue is broken, cant advance to the Tables. Read thru forums and tons of people experiencing the same issues since last year with no update or fix. Skip this product until it is updated.
