ZEN Pinball 2: South Park: Super-Sweet Pinball

It's the best South Park pinball ever. What else do you need?

The whole spirit of South Park in two magnificent flippers. Essential for fans of one or the other.

Zen Studios seems to have an almost uncanny ability to understand what makes big franchises tick and appeal to large numbers of gamers, and then take the concepts and create impressive tables based around them.

The only gripes I would have to say I have with South Park Pinball is as follows: A) there only 2 tables, and I’m not sure if it was a decision based on popularity or what, but it would have been nice to have at least one more to choose from in this universe. B) South Park is an undoubtedly politically incorrect game full of dirty words and don’t go there humor, and these two tables are very PG to say the least.

Fans of the long-running TV series will get a kick out of the cameos and inside jokes, but everybody else will be left scratching their heads.

Unless you’re a fan of the South Park universe, you’re probably not going to be able to dive into this game. For me, although it’s a ton of fun and bright and cheery – after a while the potty humour and same quips and jokes became somewhat wearisome.

Zen Pinball’s South Park offering isn’t perfect but it will serve as a lovely addition to its already robust catalog of tables.

I wish ZEN would get its hands out of my pockets. There is always an additional cost to play. There should be no additional cost to play after purchase of the game just to put it out there it seems that developers want to set up shop on my console to ask for more money for content that really should be included in the package on shelf. It is annoying to see this happening and if it is a ploy to entice impulse spending I am NOT amused. It will come back to bite you. You watch and see.
