Pinball FX is just the kind of typical pinball game you'd probably expect. No special frills are really included, just three tables with the full game, along with two downloadable tables (one of which is free). The tables themselves are all fairly good, with some nice variation - you've got a car themed one, a hip-hop themed one, and a secret agent themed one included in the stock game. However, while they are nice enough, they are all fairly cramped, giving you a little less space all around than you might think would be included in a real pinball machine. There's also the fact that they don't include the kind of variety you might expect to see in real pinball machines, rendering them a little blander than might have been hoped for. Thankfully, one of the earlier problems with the game - the lack of tables - has been somewhat resolved with the release of two new tables since Pinball FX came out several months ago, though players will undoubtedly take issue with the rather tardy release of new tables.
