But, man, Zen really struggles with telling a compelling story and communicating rules. I can play for 10 minutes and there's no change in emotional tenor, no sense of urgency, no humor. I just get bored, and I'm honestly perplexed by the audio selections. The only clip I seem to get on the way to starting Vader Frenzy is "What is it, General?" Why? It's Empire, so that means the player is Luke, so why the complete non-sequitur? This happens all the time -- too often the sound clips seem random and unconnected to the action on the playfield. And when the ball exits the playfield Luke says "There's something not right here." How about instead you cut my hand off, freeze me in carbonite, crash my snowspeeder or have C3P0 blown to bits by a stormtrooper? There is so much emotion, excitement and humor in this theme -- it doesn't seem like any of it made it into the game. It's to pinball what the Star Wars prequels are to the real trilogy.</p></blockquote><p></p>
