As a lifelong fan of 2000AD and its flagship character, Judge Dredd, it feels like this latest release for Pinball FX VR is aimed directly at me.

It’s a recreation of an excellent, 1993 machine released in the real world by Bally. It’s thankfully before the 1995 movie, so what we have here is completely based on the style and content of the comics.

Which makes it absolutely superb,.just content-wise alone. It does help that it’s full of little fan service references, but if you’re not familiar with the character or his world, there’s still a lot to like on this boldly colourful, very well designed machine.

Dealing with crimes and attempting to defeat the Dark Judges during the multiball mode is all pretty straightforward stuff, and makes for a compelling game.

I do love that you have Dredd himself watching you from beside the table as you play. You can even play it in SUPER GAME mode, which the real table featured (and which was never used for any other machines after this one), giving you an immediate multiball mode.

It’s another excellent addition to the ever growing arcade of machines for Pinball FX VR, which has become so sizeable that an elevator now takes you to a different floor to find certain machines!
