    And by that I mean if I download "free" version of the game and then pay for example 200 ms points for SF2 - table, will I have full SF2 - pinball game or do I have to get  "Full game core pack (800 ms points)" before that?

    Yes and No. 
    You have to buy the Marvel pack (None come separately) and the Pinball FX 2 main pack. All of the others you can buy separately.

    Well, some Marvel tables are add-ons... Fantastic Four and Captain America.

    Pinball FX1 and FX2 are in packs.

    The rest are individual.

    Most are awesome.

    No! You will not be able to resist buying them all. You'll see why. ;)

    I love Street Fighter II (the game), but it's a pretty awful table.  I'd highly suggest the Mars table instead.  It's a great beginners table, and it's nowhere near as frustrating and punishing as SF.

    Thanks for the replies.
    Yes. It was possible to download one table and play it fully. Strange thing was that before this worked I had to download Game (not the table) again for it work.
    And yes, pweidman was right: It is pretty much impossible to stop after one table.  I will definitely buy more.

    Personally, I liked that table, but then again I tend to like novelty pinball games more than good tables.

    @charlie_victor_bravo: My personal favorite table is Excalibur. There is so much to do in it. I recommend it a lot.

    I was thinking of getting that one and now I feel that I should. Seemed to have all kinds of stuff and quite long replay value compared to many of those other single tables (chose to exclude comic themed "expansions" for now).

    My current opinion of each table. very good > good > not bad > just okay > bad > Extreme

    Classic Core Pack:
    Agents - very good
    Speed Machine - good
    Buccaneer - not bad
    Extreme - the worst table out of any pack or individual tables

    PBFX2 Core Pack: 
    Secrets of the Deep - very good
    Pasha - very good
    Bio-Lab - good
    Rome - bad

    Marvel Core Pack:
    SpiderMan - very good
    Blade - good
    Wolverine - just okay
    Iron Man - just okay

    Individual tables:
    Mars - very good 
    Captain America - good 
    Excalibur - good
    Earth Defense - good  
    Street Fighter II Turbo - not bad
    Nightmare Mansion - just okay 
    Rocky and Bullwinkle - just okay 
     
    I don't currently own the Fantastic Four or Ms. Splosion Man tables.

    @SpaceInsomniac:

    I'm kind of surprised that you think Rome is bad, it seemed to be quite fine when I demoed it. Would be interested in knowing why you think so.

    PS. Really liking this Excalibur table I bought. Not an easy one because I can't see any way to have ball-save back up after couple of mins.

    Rome is a difficult table compared to some, but it's not a bad design. Play it for a while and you'll end up liking it....at least I did. The table from the original that's the worst is the nerfed Bullwinkle table, and of the more recent releases, Iron Man seems the most annoying and boring; strange design imo.

    Excalibur is challenging and excellent at the same time...one of the best.

    Try the tables yourself and see what you like because its pretty personal. I would give very different ratings than @SpaceInsomniac. For example Rome is my favorite table out of the core pack, and Wolverine out of the Marvel pack. I dont like Spiderman at all.

    Most of the tables are very good, but they focus on different kind of players.

    If memory serves, I dislike both Rome and Wolverine for the same reason I dislike most of the tables that I dislike. Because the ball either has an unusually common tendency to drain down the out lanes, and the kickbacks are either overly difficult to keep alive, or they don't exist in the first place. Rome also has both main ramps pointing very close to the center drain, and a really goofy scoring system that is incongruous with the other tables.

    And don't get me wrong. I'm not saying either of them are bad tables as a point of fact. I'm just saying they're bad tables in my personal opinion.
