Pinball FX 2 features both online and offline modes, players can play each table in single player where the main goal is to get the highest score possible by activating the bumpers, ramps, spinners and playing through the table specific Game modes such as the Secrets of the Deep tables Galleon exploration.
The single player mode allows players to add their personal high score to the online leader boards as long as the operator settings are set to default.
There are several multiplayer modes for online and offline play, offline players can play either hot seat mode in which each player takes turns sequentially or split screen in which both players play simultaneously on the same screen which is a first for pinball simulators.
The online mode allows players to play in a ranked or player match over Xbox Live. The ranked mode pits you against a similarly skilled opponent based on your trueskill ranking while player match allows you to either find a random opponent or play against a Friend.
In multiplayer players have infinite balls and must aim to get the highest score either within a set time frame or be the first player to achieve the target score, with the exception of ranked online play which uses a standard rule set, the multiplayer mode allows you to tweak the method of determining the winner.
Superscore and Wizardscore
Within Pinball FX 2 there is a persistent scoring system called Superscore, this is determined by adding together your highest score on each table and rounding it down to the nearest million, so if you had a combined table score of 292,124,201 your Superscore would be 292.
There is also a second scoring system which unlocks rewards as you progress called Wizardscore, Wizardscore is calculated by adding your Superscore to your friends combined Superscore and multiplying this value by the number of tables you have set a high score on. For instance if you have a Superscore of 300, your friends have a combined Superscore of 700 and you own 10 tables your wizard score would be 10,000.
Each table in Pinball FX2 includes three achievements (worth 5, 15, and 30 gamerscore) based on the difficulty of that achievement (which involves a specific goal to perform in that table). Some achievements also have an alternate goal of having a higher score than a certain number of players in the player's Friends List. (3 Friends for 5g, 5 Friends for 15g, and 10 Friends for 30g) The game itself also has avatar awards, which unlock as the player reaches milestones for the "Wizardscore" system (5,000 points for a t-shirt with the game logo on it, and 100,000 points for a male wizard robe and female sorceress dress).
