\"\"<\/a>Star Wars: Rogue One was one of last year\u2019s hit movies, and the first side story film set in the famed universe.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about the events that happened right before A New Hope, where a team of rebels tries to steal the Death Star plans to discover its weakness.\u00a0 And now you can relive the action in pinball form with Star Wars Pinball: Rogue One for play on Zen Studios\u2019 pinball platforms: Pinball FX2 and Zen Pinball 2.\u00a0 They\u2019re available on nearly all current game consoles and computers, but reviewed on PS4 here. Also maybe a slight spoiler warning or two for those who haven\u2019t seen the movie yet.<\/p>\n

You can download and play the new Rogue One table on consoles that support Zen Studios pinball platforms. When you download Pinball FX 2 or Zen Pinball 2 (depending on which game console you own), you\u2019re just downloading the hub.\u00a0 It\u2019s free, and then you purchase separate tables for play in the game.<\/p>\n

The focal point of the Rogue One table is the field at the top of the screen.\u00a0 It\u2019s usually filled with bumpers with TIE Fighters on them (and they make awesome sound effects when you hit them).\u00a0 But when you spell out ROGUE with the targets at the top, you\u2019ll start a mission based on one of the scenes in the movie.\u00a0 Then the field will change to things like an AT-AT Walker, Death Star, and more.\u00a0 There will even be rain on the table if you are at the mission where you confront the designer of the Death Star plans.\u00a0 So missions are easy to activate and the visuals and audio are fitting and fun.\u00a0 Definitely a pinball table to check out if you\u2019re a Star Wars fan.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Zen Pinball games are rated E-10 with ESRB descriptors of Fantasy Violence and Mild Language. But this is pinball and is safe and fairly non-violent and has been around for many generations.\u00a0 Youngsters love Star Wars, and if you\u2019re OK with your kids watching the movies, they\u2019ll be OK with the game, too.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the rules and menu texts, but not necessary just to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
