The voice work is obviously being done by stand-ins rather than the performers from the film, but the voice work doesn’t sound out of place at all and helps to make the experience work well. Aurally, the table is also a winner, starting from a strong background soundtrack that basically sounds how you’d expect a theme from a superhero film to sound it’s not anything you’ll remember after playing, but it’s effective for setting the mood.
The table itself combines the title character’s color scheme with various scientific looking design elements to give off a very “science super hero” vibe, integrating the metallic aesthetic of a futuristic lab with characters from the film, meaning you’ll see Doctor Pym and Ant-Man on the table proper, and other characters like Yellowjacket pop up when needed. The Ant-Man looks thematically exactly as one would expect a table based on the film to look, as it faithfully recreates the aesthetic of the film and makes good use of the notable elements in the table design. The table, as with others in the Zen Pinball franchise, can be played alone or with friends, on and offline, as players compete against each other for top scores, either simultaneously online or by taking turns offline, so you can get your pinball on with up to four players if you want, either by passing the controller/Vita around or by taking it to them online. The physics of the table are, by and large, as good as Zen Studios can make them, and for the most part you’ll find them to be quite solid, as your shots generally go where they’re expected to.
As with most Zen Studios tables, Ant-Man makes good use of the fact that it’s not a real table, meaning that all kinds of crazy things can happen, including Ant-Man moving around the table, Yellowjacket jumping into the action, shrinking energy balls appearing and more. The table has an interesting visual presentation, both aesthetically and thematically, as it uses stylistically complimentary reds and blues that are easy on the eyes together and features a strong scientific motif.

The Ant-Man table is a stand-alone release that takes the concept from the film and integrates it into a full pinball experience, as everything from Doctor Pym, Scott Lang, Scott’s daughter Cassie and Yellowjacket find their way into the table in some form or fashion. Whether or not you’ll want to add it to your collection is a different story altogether, of course, so let’s take a look and see if an interesting concept translates to a table you’ll want to play. As we’ve seen in prior tables, Zen Studios has a knack for taking a property and building a table to suit its concept in fun and interesting ways, and Ant-Man is honestly no exception to this.

The newest of their tie-in table releases is Ant-Man, which is based around the Marvel movie of the same name, and aesthetically designed to match the film rather than the comics.
Their biggest license, and the one that’s gotten them the most mileage, probably has to be the Marvel Comics brand, as they’ve produced a whopping twenty one tables based on properties from that universe, between the movies, comic storylines, and movie tie-in tables. In the past few years, Zen Studios has grown their pinball table series, Zen Pinball 2, from a smattering of original content and video game based licenses into a licensed product juggernaut, as they can claim tables based on popular franchises as South Park, Star Wars and The Walking Dead alongside popular gaming franchises like Portal and Plants vs.
