DH Review: Rockstar's Table Tennis

_______________

Traditionally, when you think of Rockstar Games titles such as the illegal street racing series Midnight Club or the illicitly violent Grand Theft Auto anthology come to mind, but all of that is about to change. In a bizarre twist, Rockstar decided to release a game about the relatively new Olympic sport entitled Table Tennis. Instead of running from the police and killing hookers, this time around gamers everywhere can play one of the most accurate tennis games to date. With eleven diversified characters and an unprecedented amount of shot control, Rockstar’s Table Tennis is an amazing experience despite all of the skepticism it received in the past.

great review for a great game

just a note - the final score you have 90/10 instead of 90/100

[edit] i am really getting into the spin - juergen is great

yeah the graphics are fantastic, the clothes move so well and everything looks solid, and the detail on the skin texture is fantastic

also is the first game i can rememeber where the vibration in the pad really adds to how you play the game

Nice review, I've got to try this game.
to be a little picky, this line in the second paragraph under Serve's Up! could use cleaning up:

You can also use move the left analog stick aim you serve in a different direction.

Actually that looks pretty good.. fun for a party or something..

"Pong" would have been a good name...

I just would never call a game like that "fun" but to each his own.

I was thinking with a room full of drunk people having a tournament.. like a party game.

It isn't something I would buy though..

I dunno

I remember way back in the day getting a gameboy when they came out first and being absolutely hooked on some tennis game I got with it, it was really addictive

course I can't afford a 360, so I'll just have to take your guy's word on rockstar ping pong

to me:

Rockstar's Table Tennis is the new Smash Tennis - simple at first with subtle depth and that highly addictive gameplay
