  • Summary: "Our goal was to create a game that is perfectly addictive in its focused simplicity, a game that showcases the true possibilities of a next gen experience, not just in looks but in feel and pace," stated Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. "We wanted to use the power of the new hardware and the resolution of new televisions to give the game an immediacy, an intensity and a sense of physicality and reality, resulting in a purer, more visceral experience that simply was not possible previously." Houser continued, "It is a distillation of game design philosophy, focusing on removing the traditional areas of compromise inherent in managing size and scope and concentrating the hardware's entire power on one activity, with the aim of doing that better than it's ever been done before."

  1. There isn't an annoying or bewildering array of modes because Rockstar had a single-minded ambition to create a game you play with your mates. Play the training modules if you like, but you won't need them. It's that good.
  2. If you ever played ping-pong a day in your life, you will have instant respect for this title. I just wish it had more depth to it.
  3. By focusing almost exclusively on extremely intense one-on-one competitions, Table Tennis more than compensates for its lean set of options.
  4. Although this game obviously isn’t for everyone, it has solid features and great multiplayer functionality. If you’re into sports titles, this is a must have.

    Good: best graphics in any game...EVER; only $40; Seriously intense; good party game; simple controlls; character facial expressions and actions make you actually love or hate some of them. Bad: only $40 of game; very short; no character creator; can sometimes be frustrating. Suggestion: Worth buying. Expand

    Hmm its difficult to give a fair review of this game as i haven't really played many sports games. As a table tennis game it does exactly what it says on the tin but the lack of career mode does make the game a little limited. Even with the live options it only held my attention for a few games which isnt necessarily the result of a poor game its down to the people on live itself that limit its online potential. Basically there wasnt a game i actually wanted over June and id rather spend £30 on a game i dont want than £50, if its only for passing the time till something better comes out. Expand

    Sometimes I think Rockstar could put out a game called Colon Explosion: Sticky Log Edition and people would rate it highly. This game isn';t even on par with Pong, due to the lack of a Paddle Controller. More than that, table tennis is something you play when you're a dirt-poor college student, not pay $39 for. Avoid this garbage, unless you're related to Forrest Gump. Expand
