Table Tennis (Xbox 360)From Rockstar
Product Details
Brand: Rockstar Games
Released on: 2006-05-26
Platform: Xbox 360
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.co.uk Review
In a nutshell:
A next generation game of Ping Pong doesn't necessarily sound like the best use of your Xbox 360's abilities - no matter how good the graphics are.
Just a few quick plays though will turn apathy into addiction.
The lowdown:
You might come for the budget price but you'll stay for the gameplay in what must be the most engrossing new sports game in years. Although the realism is probably going to be beside the point for most people this looks and plays exactly like the real thing. That means the controls basically work like a normal tennis sim, with four basic shot types on the face buttons and some easy to apply aftertouch available on the left stick. You can mix and match shots by holding down multiple buttons and there's a handy warning rumble when you starting getting your returns too near the edge of the table. Although the presentation is a little dry, especially for a Rockstar game, sports games don't get much more fun than this.
Most exciting moment:
Although it's a shame there's no doubles matches the game is still at its best online in multiplayer mode. If you don't have Xbox Live though you'll find the computer players are very realistic, with their own quirks and specialities that make them seem far more like real people.
Since you ask:
The game features seven extra playable characters to unlock by beating the single player tournaments. The nationalities of these players are Brazilian, Irish, German, South Korean, Japanese, English and Egyptian.
The bottom line:
It may sound an odd idea but this could be the most addictive game yet for the 360.
Harrison Dent

Customer Reviews
prototype
this is merely a prototype of graphics for gta 4 and i think we all know these are awsum graphics
you can only rate this on graphics and drive yourself crazy waiting for gta 4...
Value for money
For the price it's great. The details put into the characters are excellent but it's let down by some bad controls. As a "pick up and play" game it's great, but it quickly becomes frustrating in one player mode. Stricly for after the pub with mates.
A very good addition to your collection
For the price, this is a great game. It could be sold for much more. With Xbox games generally being around three times the price this one really is a must.
The graphics are stunning and the game play seems natural and it is easy to pick up. I didn't think a game simulating table tennis would excite me as much as this does, it drives me crazy when I don't win. Highly addictive and bags of fun.
Having said that it does lack options and variations when playing on your own. Two players - excellent, one - a tad repetitive.
