Stern Pinball Arcade Reviews

Absolutely terrible but it's version 1.0

Frank Jonen

Farsight could've just reskinned their current app for this release and have a working foundation. With this hastily cobbled together thing pretty much nothing works. You launch a table and boom, big black nothing. And for the part that works, it's like a scaled up phone game.

Bugs up the wazoo

Can't enter initials on ranking screen, icon sizes and fonts are off and too small, preview dot matrix screens can't be resized and are overlapping the main dot matrix. Please help fix these asap. I paid a lot of money for the tables. Very expensive so I expect things to be at least 90% finished.

Purchase history

If we bought all tables on PS4 and pinball arcade do we own these or do we gotta buy a third time?...fix initial's input

Sloppy QA

You can't enter you initials at the end of a game. Farsight consistently has had issues with their UI, performance and overall stability. If you are going to charge a premium, please at least make sure the core functionality works before releasing it.

Awesome

AC/DC is great can't wait for Ghostbusters

Suffers from Farsight's usual lack of attention to detail

Bought the Star Trek pack for $10. Offer was so poorly written in the phone I thought I had bought Pack #1. Game does not allow for playing in landscape mode. The UI is horrible and looks like it was designed by a student designing their first interface. For the hundreds of dollars I have paid farsight, I would think they could hire a talented UI designer by now. High score input on Star Trek is broken. Text on instructions is so small to be illegible. Someone thought it would be cool to squeeze all that information into the glass of the table for no good reason. For $10 there is no "Pro" features such as in TPA for hints, ball control or table expoloration. I'm sure we will get double dipped on that later. Unlike TPA, there is no option to adjust location of launch buttons. Graphics are third rate compared to zaccari pinball or pro pinball which actually have dynamic Lighting because they use Apple's iOS metal engine. All and all this feels and plays like Beta software that was rushed to market for Christmas. Best thing farsight has going is the IP licensed, their physics engine and sound design for balls rolling and flippers. All of which are top notch.

No landscape mode still..

Gameplay seems to be cleaner, graphics definitely improved! Get it going farsight.. maybe an iOS consultant? ?

But Tables Twice

This doesn't transfer table purchases from The Pinball Arcade even on IOS. Really obvious money grab. Bad form Farsight. Game pricing is confusing. You pay $20 per table pack. Now have split customer base just for Stern licenses. Nope. Just nope.

Awesome Pinball App!

This is a great app that includes modern pinball machines, some of which are still being produced today. The sounds and graphics are incredible. The latest update is much improved, particularly with respect to the instructions, which are now larger and easy to read. Great job Farsight!

Mostly great

I really like most of the tables. The sound is awesome. I am glad they fixed the leaderboard bug that broke the game. They need to add multiple player support. I wish they would release Ghostbusters already. It has been more than 2 months and nothing at all. I also wish they would release at least 1 table per month like they do with the Pinball Arcade.
