Classic Game Room - MARS Pinball Table for ZEN PINBALL review

[02500l]

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK THAT YOUTUBE SHOULD REMOVE THE FUCKING VIDEO ADS

[WhatThePresidentSays]

i your'e inspired to play pinball right now go to START->ALL PROGRAMS->GAME->PINBALL 3D SPACE PINBALL!!

[WestcoastMusicals]

@WhatThePresidentSays Dude that pinball sucks,excalibur for my 1995 macintosh plays is better.Pinball fx2 is the ultimate,next to real life pinball.

[WhatThePresidentSays]

@WestcoastMusicals well having a mac does't enhance your grammar.

[WestcoastMusicals]

@WhatThePresidentSays Yes only smart people use Macs.Speaking of grammar? You are suppose to capital the first letter of every sentence you lush. Also you misspelled the word doesn't,lol,loser.

[WhatThePresidentSays]

@WestcoastMusicals yes i should know, we have 4 of them. 1 Macbook , 1 Powerbook G4 and 2 15 inch Macbook pros. and what am i using? A PC. and i still have proven my point (above) that those macs doesn't enhance your knowledge it just makes you a FAG owning a 1995 (older than me) mac. PS winning an argument with a 14 year old doesn't make you smart.

[morath11]

I have all the Pinball FX 1 and 2 Tables and includes this one too now. Hopefully they bring all the PS3 tables over

[Coasterdude02149]

The big spaceship IS distracting when it flies over but this table is so damn cool it doesn’t matter

[saved03]

Dead Space would be a cool theme for a table on Pinball FX or Zen Pinball.

[w0mblemania]

I'd like to see this table in Pinball FX 2. The current crop (old and new) are all a bit too complex, and dark.

This looks a bit simpler, more open and straightforward.

[Cantido]

@w0mblemania The good news is Mars IS coming to Pinball FX2. Only the original four Zen Pinball tables are Ps3 exclusive.

[Cantido]

@w0mblemania MARS is finally coming to Pinball FX2 on the 20th!

[w0mblemania]

@Cantido Yes, I've been lucky enough to play it early. Really liking it.

[belminthedominator12]

i really need some help wich table is the best???

[nicholasthetaylor]

The music reminds me of the BBC news XD This table, and this game looks super swish. Brings back memories of Pinball Illusions on the good ol' A1200

[Hariuka]

that would be weird, people dying around you, necromorphs eating people and running around the window infront of you and issac moaning you to help him

[roma042604]

:D this one came out on my birthday!

[OldManMcScrotumFace]

Pardon my ignorance, but being as im 15, who is Ultor?

[daveman247]

is there a reason why there is a face in mars?

Kinda looks like the face of the volition logo (Reference maybe?)

[NakedClones]

@daveman247 Its a famous image that was discovered years ago on the surface of mars..... its some land or rock formation that happens to look eerily like a face....

[daveman247]

@NakedClones ahh, that would make more sense!

[1337BleachFan]

You saw C-Beams glitter in the dark? What about attack ships off the shoulder of Orian.

[jw31187]

mark should get his on show on g4 or something

[Minou427]

Mark said nothing about the face in the bottom center during the whole review, a joke was handed to him on a silver platter..... : ( 

[MrStigable]

this just needs some red faction in the mix and flamethrowers and Lord Carnage and his Wind Squid :)

[bigbakaboon]

But Doctor Crusher crashes >=(

[marcusnns]

it's an approachable game.

[AlfredRusselWallace]

wow awesome blade runner reference!

[Amaranthus616]

@AlfredRusselWallace i still have no idea what a c beam or whatever it is....is

>_>

[headbangermat930]

mark you should reveiw slayer pinball rocks for the iphone/ipod touch

[fvgotch]

Cool background music.

[giantsfan245]

I'm curious. Do you get paid to do these reviews?

[AlexTheAverageKid]

@giantsfan245 he gets advertising revenue

[dnehthend]

@giantsfan245 through the ads I'm sure

[Razormare]

@giantsfan245 I think he used to do them for the fun of it. Although, he still does it for fun, though he gets adverts shown on his videos.

[glitznglamstyle]

Man, I need to check out Zen Pinball. I miss the arcades and this should help that out.

[Gravijja]

I so enjoy these reviews and the reviewer.

[communistrecords]

What ever happened to pinball.

[schpongled]

I find this table a little dull, and as with the other tables in Zen a bit busy. The instructions are f*cking useless too so don't expect to know what the hell is going on sometimes. Building high scores in this game is a chore.

Just because it looks and sounds nice doesn't mean it's fun.

[Scaramanganexuspluss]

If you watch really carefully at the background you can see attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion!

[TheKings777]

thats the face of mars in the middle

[Arjun007ize]

Nice one

[leoviper]

In Soviet Russia, Lord Karnage created the Pinball.

[Armymanis]

Looks like an awesome game! Wish I had a PS3.

[RandomMac5]

What capture card do you use?

[GeneralSmanTheBest]

Good review, looks good as a game but the ideas and space concepts as well as the refueling are stolen off that crappy pinball you used to get on windows.

[skinny123222]

@GeneralSmanTheBest i actually liked that windows pinball game.... D:

[Ricjones1994]

The gravity on MARS doesn't seem to be affecting the pinball...

[poolehart]

The only real Pinball game I was ever good at was Jurassic Park. I want that on Zen.

[ultraphaze]

Very Nice game all ok except f**** shadow on the ball and floating points its make game less realistic, less similar to original fliper:/ F* that (pseudo-modern) idea :(

[Tryzon]

GET YOUR ASS TO MARS!

[Dragonfury3000]

nice review and final score as well!

[BitchFunky317]

Long Live CGR!!

[joemar121]

Lord Karnage would make Ultor his bitch!

[thesadtruthliveson]

looks fun !

[icemer1234]

finally a ps3 game review

[socue521]

Is that unreal engine? Looks like it :D

[Kahalasama]

Awesome Total Recall reference and subtle Blade Runner quotes.

[LamentOfInnocence1]

Sure is Blade Runner in here

[superstickman42]

RED FACTION REFRENCE FTW!!!

[thetylife]

LoL...."Captain Janeway, Leela, Dr. Crusher ...they just let anyone fly that thing"

Uh huh...women are bad drivers..I get it ! Anyway thumbs up for Futurama reference...I love that show!!!

[Terramax]

Strangely this reminds me of Metroid Pinball for the DS. An awesome game if anyone here is wondering.

[TheSatNavs]

Drugs are bad :((((

[antinodoctors]

Seriously people? You up voted a request comment of all things? Sweet lord...

[darkeclipticheart]

I love it when you get multi ball and zero gravity happens. It's awesome watching your balls float every where....yeah that sounds funny. You'd have to see it to understand what I'm saying.

[PearlJammer07]

I have not bought a new table for Zen Pinball yet. I want to get the Street Fighter and this table when i find another job.

[down4afall]

I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. 2m6s

[NapalmOnToast]

Haven't bought a new table since Ninja Gaiden. This looks pretty cool.

[TheStimonator]

Thats LORD KARNAGE flying that ship see i typed it cool so i wolnt get slapped for saying lord karnage (slap) OW come on i was making a point

[SammyProductions2009]

ALL HAIL ULTOR. THE LORD OF MARS.

[AllMyFriendsAreGay]

If either Issac Clark or a marine from Doom was in here I would have to buy this. Twice.

[w0mblemania]

For 360 players... don't worry, we aren't going to miss out on this table, luckily.

Pinball FX 2 is on its way, which Zen will say will at (the very least) bring the game up to parity with Zen Pinball. Hopefully we won't have to buy all the tables again though! And let's hope version 2 won't be too expensive.

The Mars table will be available for Pinball FX 2, expected in the northern hemisphere's Spring.

[Quirkification]

This is the best Youtube channel, Thumbs you if you agree.

[killak2115]

@Quirkification thumbs me? thumbs you buddy!

[rotftransformer]

that face reminds me of the great face of mars on futurama

[TheHaybot]

@rotftransformer well it's called "Mars Pinball Table" ....

[kombatmaster12]

(Doomguy walks over to the table and looks down) "What the Hell?" (picks up ball and throws into space and walks off) Doom pinball. Now that would make a great game.

[JohnnyK98k]

Always entertaining! Great Job Mark!

[TheAJHernandez17]

Do you believe most of ign's reviews are fair and accurate?

[Vinny792]

5:12 And This is your new high score!

[FloresBrothers72956]

thats incredible!

[uzimonkey]

What's with this wimpy little click noise the flippers make? Pinball flippers are supposed to make a nice kachunk noise!

[austinmackert]

Looks like a great table!

[n11n12]

Mark, you're definitely better than Counselor Troi, the only person ever to crash the Enterprise twice.

[ThisIsEDX]

Love the Blade Runner references.

[bierbuik]

@ThisIsEDX Futurama too :p !

[frickfrock999]

The announcer's voice in the game is almost as epic as Mark's.

[a3HeadedMonkey]

I have Pinball FX for the Xbox 360 & although I'm not that keen on this unrealistic table, I'd still like to know if they have this, or any other new table planned for the Xbox 360 version. Zen make amazing pinball tables/simulators.

[gumbyx84]

0:25 "...don't need a trip to recall to visit mars..." ??? I get the reference, but that makes no sense. Where is this Recall place and why should I not go there?

Like the Star Trek crack, thought Janway was a Captain (they almost never actually fly the ship) and I dont think Dr. Crusher knew how to pilot a shuttlecraft let alone the Enterprise. ..... Yes I am that much of a geek to point this out.

Anyway, great table. Worth $2.50 and then some.

[Isenyne]

The ball is actually an android replicant sent to Mars to destroy his own kind, and this startling fact will be revealed in the Greatest Hits' Game of the Year Edition of the Mars pinball table.

[0Angelix0]

@Isenyne Ooh is that the eighth version?

[laughablemania]

mark, what is your psn?

[thegraham888]

@laughablemania Bolfar I think

[saviorsdisciple]

Mark, can I donate my pinball machine for you to review?

[dwarfshuffle]

now i want to watch mars attacks again

[SpecterM91]

Blade Runner AND Total Recall references? I love you, Mark. :l

[monkat7]

Did you get a new microphone or something? It sounds fuzzy

[Fanofmany1989]

there's gotta be a vectrex/cosmic carnage pinball table.

[pandapimpbabys]

@Fanofmany1989 WITH a flamethrower attachment!

[Alan27Jorn]

No pinball game will ever beat T2: Judgment Day pinball.

[oneupdawg]

Awesome table, very impressive. I should try Zen Pinball.

[Snotnarok]

Sounds like the voice from Bari Arm, the voice in the game I mean.

[potsy5656]

Ummm, did he make a Saints Row 2 reference? :S

[Snotnarok]

@potsy5656 No unfortunately, it was a reference to Red Faction, made by the same people who made Saints Row. He needs to review that since it's a better GTA

[Jacko459]

@Snotnarok Its not better then Gta...

[Snotnarok]

@Jacko459 I forgot saints row made you play real life simulator after every mission and forgot what fun was to be more realistic and gritty...Though wait that was GTA IV, gasp GTA IV is worse than saints row! :P But seriously I lost interest in GTA IV after beating it. I don't want to hangout with my gang members, I want to go on rampages and whatever. Not get 50 calls from roman wanting to go bowling.

[DeltronZero87]

Looks awesome but I need a ps3.

[752ada]

@DeltronZero87 everyone NEEDS a ps3

[aserpico1]

i wish a spaceship would fly around while i play pinball hahaha

[svicciarelli]

space credits.

[STERNrogering]

That face on the table looks like the face for the log0 Volition who made Red

Faction 3

[alexneszmer]

@STERNrogering Volition's symbol is actually a real picture that was taken above Mars. It is famous because it's only a picture of a mountain. Just go on Google and type "Mars face".

[GatlingSmash]

This is my favorite DLC table by far. Really enjoyable without being too complex.

[LazerPanther]

I would go to Mars, if it weren't for all the spiders.

[IG9Gaming]

@LazerPanther Spiders? LOL you watch to much movies!

[LazerPanther]

@IG9Gaming It's a David Bowie reference...

[StrawberryGuy86]

This table looks cool! Glad I bought it!

[TankT9]

Must check Xbox store.. maybe they got it too, Zen tables are awesome but mostly frustratingly hard, even harder they few real pinball machines.

[neckwear]

Going to PAPA 13 this weekend, eh?

[BertrandArne]

Hardcore pinball fans? Like, hardcore? Seriously? They exist?

[morphor]

@BertrandArne Yes there are hardcore Pinball fans, but do to Pinball being near extinct and most of em are adults as machines are extremely expensive they are more like Pinball enthusiasts. Since there are gamers who collect arcade cabinets why not Pinball? which IMO are far cooler than any arcade machine except for perhaps Tron even though the games in Tron suck.

[lucas96180]

@BertrandArne hell yea back on the day and by that i mean WAYYY back in the day before the atari2600.

[Syeedthehedgehog]

@lucas96180 ^^

[Th0rg1n]

bah.. pinball fantasies is still better... also pinball dreams...

[pihky]

epic game!When i was kid i was playing dark wader pinball !

[leoviper]

Hoping they release this on Vectrex Network.

[kaidon2]

was that a blade runner ref?

[DeLorean4]

Holy crap! This is a whole lot better than Space Cadet 3D for Windows 2000 and Dinosaur Pinball 3D from the late 90s.

[DeLorean4]

@DeLorean4 I meant "3D Ultra Pinball : The Lost continent"

[iilloover]

FINALLY SOMETHING BESIDES A FIGHTING GAME!

[MrAwesomeArab]

damn i havent watched ur vids in forever. now i can be happy again, lol

[MrGrue]

totalrecal ;)

[Mincle]

lol nice Blade Runner reference. ;)

[aoggchevron]

Like Dr. Crusher when she was trapped in a static warp bubble.

[photodube]

Blade Runner references FTW.

[Trisnice]

WHAT !!!!!!!!!! NO FLAMETHROWER ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[megamanfan3]

Actually, Capt. Katherine Janeway commanded the Intrepid-class starship USS Voyager. Dr. Beverly Crusher was the CMO of both the Galaxy-class starship USS Enterprise-D and Sovereign-class starship USS Enterprise-E.

[gumbyx84]

@megamanfan3 You forget: Crusher did command her own ship in the alternate future timeline from "All Good Things..." (final episode of series).

Q is very disappointed in you.

[megamanfan3]

@gumbyx84 That is correct, but that ship was the USS Pasteur, not the Enterprise-D.

[gumbyx84]

@megamanfan3 Funny I was going to post the name of her ship. : shrugs: Was just pointing out that she was a captain (kinda) within the TNG timeline, even if it was an alternate future.

[Bustaaja]

This and Ninja Gaiden are my favorite DLC tables for Zen Pinball. The Final Pyramid mission seems to be the most difficult one on this table so far. And that's because you have to hit those M-A-R-S letters on the left (and few targets on the right) while juggling with 2 or 3 balls.

[ApocalypseNow012]

crapball

[otakuoverdrive]

I enjoy the background music a lot. It's very relaxing, tranquilizing and somewhat like ambient. Very good stuff.

[heardofrvb]

Mark, you are a pinball wizard.

[stocksy2097]

TBH I found the Mars table pretty bland. Earth Defense is a much more interesting table with a classic feel. I can't wait for that review.

[Molo9000]

Love how he keeps quoting great movies.

[Evansmustard]

moo



[kris9031998]

Do a Red Dead Redemption review PLEASE!

[Quincy111]

I friggin love the face of Mars above the flippers.

[magmablood2]

I want a pinball machine.

[nutherefurlong]

There are no targets, really. Just ramps. Ramps are flashy but don't add much except transporting the ball around. What happened to drop targets and all that? Those are more fun to hit than just a few ramps. I still like good old Space Cadet. I don't think it gets nearly enough credit, probably because it's so ubiquitous.

[CheapBeer09]

How can anyone enjoy playing pinball games on a console??? It doesn't matter how flashy or fluid the game is ... its PINBALL!!! giving up cigarettes is more enjoyable than pinball

I could never understand why people liked the sonic spinball games back in the early 90s, and I still don't understand why people like pinball games today

(rant complete)

[JBHutto]

Is there life on?

[robotmaster101]

Can you review Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World for PS3?

[henryblazer20]

what kind of microphone do you use for narration?

[theaweshnap]

do you know what would make this game better? it being on the vectrex!

[TheXLink]

@theaweshnap Evrything would be better on vectrex :D

[0M9H4X]

@theaweshnap:

which game would be better on the vectrex? ;)

with 1,5Mhz (0,0015Ghz) and 1KB Ram, its an awsome machine.

too bad its very expensive, and i only found it on US ebay

[MrMareep]

Houston we lost you lol

[SebastianBergenwall]

@MrMareep my exact thought :P

[TheNatedogg56]

Why is there no 32X add-on table?

[dragon55365]

best video game review i have ever seen:)

[rocksock00444]

i have a pin ball machine like that the ship dosent fly over me but there is a satellite and all

[KamikazeXero]

@hhslf yes, he has (See: Cyborg Justice)

[yodabejedi]

Nice Blade Runner reference :)

[MojoSmelz]

@yodabejedi do you mean total recall reference? i didn't notice any blade runner reference but i notice a total recall one

[pedalero]

@MojoSmelz

From Blade Runner: "C-Beams glittering in the dark"

[pedalero]

And "tears in the rain"...I guess he challenged himself in trying to add this references in a pinball game review.

[Molo9000]

@MojoSmelz

"sea beams glitter in the dark" and "tears in the rain" are quotes from Blade Runner

[yodabejedi]

@MojoSmelz No, I did indeed mean Blade Runner and there are a couple of references. "Sea Beams" and "tears in the rain" are both quotes from Rutger Hauers improvised speech at the end of the final cut.

[pookieizzy7]

As a fan of pinball, this is just absolutely gorgeous!

[DwNecrid]

review of gunstar heroes on genesis plz ♥♥♥
