Zen Studios continues to expand on its already impressive catalog of pinball tables with the release of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Williams Pinball: Volume 5. Although the previous volume, Universal Monsters, only featured tw🐼o tables, Zen Studios returns to its usual offering of three tables with each boasting familiar mechanics and polished presentation.
Players have the option to use each table with either updates to lighting and 3D modeling added by the developer, or based on the configurations and lighting of their original release💯s from the 1990s. Both are opꦬtions great and give the tables a lot of replayability in experiencing them in these two ways.
Tales Of The Arabian Nights
In the Tales of the Arabian Nights table, players work towards revealing and defeating an evil genie in order to rescue a princess. The story may be antiquated and old-fashioned, but the mechanics that lead up to the confrontation as 🀅well made and make for a natural feeling of story progression, which is great for new players to the genre of pinball games and a welcome treat for veterans as well. This is hands-down one of the best tables released by Williams so far, and is a great tribute to the original 1996 release.
Cirqus Voltaire
The second table is another great addition to the collection featuring polished gameplay. Cirqus Voltaire is modeled after the original table from 1997, boasting several targets to hit with mini-games to complete. Of the three tables, this one is the most vibrant and colorful and is perhaps as well made as Tales of the Arabian Nights. The Ringmaster taunts a player throughout and after a while his model and voice lines can be a bit distracting due to their repetitiveness. This is one o♍f the few Williams’ tables that feels better with the removal of his character model, but is still one of their best.
No Good Gofers
No Good Gofers is based on the 1997 Williams table and features straightforward, simplistic gameplay. Players mainly work the ramps and eventually need to hit a pair of golfers as the main targets. The colorful and cartoonish table is a good aesthetic choice and fits with the themes of the first two tables, though obviously it is less grounded in fantasy and more closely resembles the film Caddyshack. The final table to round out the newest volume is, as expected, less intricate than the first two. This is o🌳ften the case, with each volume having one anchor table and maybe a second as being fairly well made, with a third being more simplistic in design. Although this is also the case here, the entire volume is still a treat.
A Great Addition To The Williams' Collection
Volume 5 offers up one of the best releases for the game. If a player were only starting to experiment with digital pinball games, this is by far the best voꦯlume to pick up because of the broad range in playstyles needed to master each table. As stated earlier, Tales of the Arabian Nights is an outstanding place for new players to start learning the finer points of pinball than🅺ks to its developing narrative and straightforward goal of defeating the evil genie.
As always, Zen Studios has done a fantastic job in blending the physics of real pinball tables with the fantasy that is created through mechanics that would be impossible anywhere outside of a video game. It may be hard for them to top this vol꧙ume with their next release, but💝 that simply means that players have a broad range of great tables to experience.
