Video Review

Ranking:

The usual attention to detail is here. The table art itself is the expected mash-up of the Avengers in action, with Ultron himself front and center. The outer rim is a post-apocalyptic cityscape laid waste by Ultron clones. The rest basically feels like Tony Stark's lab, which is a little disheartening, considering the globe trotting the film seems to do, and how we've seen other tables throw in more variety, but it's still quite appealing.

Audio Review

Ranking:

It's a thunderously busy soundtrack that keeps the action nice and tense throughout every play. Thor's thunder crashes, explosions are bassy and satisfying. The voice actors are mostly solid, with Black Widow and Tony Stark near-perfect aural dopplegangers of their real-life counterparts. Thor, not so much, but you barely hear from him. Ultron himself doesn't have any of Spader's vicious charm, but it gets the job done. Cap and Banner are less prominent all around, though, and not hearing Hulk roar when he's on his rampage is a huge missed opportunity.

Final Thoughts

The 'Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron Pinball' table does its job as far as tying back to its source material, and its got just enough going on to be a passable, welcome addition to the collection, but one can't deny there's more that could've been done to make this one a hell of a lot more super. Still, the fact that every new commercial for the film the happens I end up wanting to play this means the game has done its job well
