Before we get into the DLC review, I’d like to give a kudos to Zen Studio for a steady stream of DLCs. DLCs, the good ones, add so much more value to the original game. And with a game like ZEN Pinball, it really brings out the collector in us with each new table. First it was Street Fighter, then Ninja Gaiden Sigma II, Earth Defense, and now, the latest table to add to the mix is Excalibur.

Excalibur

 So I’m going to come right out with it: this wasn’t my favorite DLC.  It didn’t have the enchanting and capturing feel that the other add-on tables had, especially the first two.  But that doesn’t mean that this is a bad DLC. In fact, I’d have to say that this DLC has a lot to offer. First of all, it has everything you’d expect from a ZEN Pinball table, including high quality visuals and pinball simulation.

But the main prize with this table is the number of quests and challenges you can take on. Along with the various objectives that need to be met on the main playfield, this table also offers two mini play field, one in the top right corner, complete with its own set of bumpers, as well as a mini joust game at the lower right corner. There is quite an adventure packed into this table.  

Joust!

But with that said, I also have to put in a disclaimer. Like ClassicMoments said, it’s hard to be conclusive about these tables because it’s more a matter of taste than anything. For me, Street Fighter holds a dear spot in my heart, and so naturally, when I hear the familiar sounds and see the familiar actions, it makes me happy and enjoy it even more. Like I mentioned before, this table provides all of what you’d expect from ZEN Pinball and Zen Studio, and then some. Do I think it’s worth the $2.49 purchase? Definitely yes. Is it my favorite Zen Studio DLC? No. The rest is up to you guys.

Our Score: 8.5 /10

An action-packed table filled with adventure.
