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."

Worth Playing
Ultimately, it's a good version of a good game that originated on a very different platform — an even better game, really, just as Resident Evil 4 for Wii is the definitive version of an already excellent title.

Still great fun. Looses out graphically but gains with interactivity. [Dec 2007, p.80]
DailyGame
The game makes great use of the Wiimote controls yet a lack of game modes and online play will leave you wanting more.
Read Full Review >games(TM)
With some of the best motion control yet seen on the console, accessible but deep gameplay and beautiful character animation, Table Tennis Wii is the machine’s premier sports title. [Dec 2007, p.114]
Official Nintendo Magazine UK
In the grand scheme of things, Table Tennis won't set the world alight. However, taken as the hugely-playable and addictive arcade sports game it is, it's good stuff. [Christmas 2007, p.82]
Pelit (Finland)
Table Tennis Wii is the same game as the Xbox 360 version. Nothing’s changed apart from the controls. Rockstar has done fine job adapting the controls to suit Wii’s nunchuk and Wiimote. The game is at its best when played with friends. Because of the lack of career mode single play gets boring quite fast. All in all Table Tennis is a great party game even though the single play is lacking. [Dec 2007]
Total Video Games
From a Wii-friendly point-of-view, Table Tennis succeeds as a hardcore title that lends itself to Nintendo's console with a clever approach to the control setup. It's slightly disappointing to find no new features beyond a mundane Training option, which leaves the long-term appeal slightly questionable. Nevertheless, Table Tennis on Wii manages to retain many of the qualities of its 360 predecessor, providing you've got a couple of Wii Remote's lying around.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
The ideal alternative to Wii Sports. It's a highly enjoyable, well-designed game with simple appeal and real depth. It's the game the Wii's been waiting for - well, one of them, at least.
Read Full Review >IGN
The real deal, tons of fun to play, and wonderfully simplistic. The game could have used an overhaul, and if Rosktar decides to keep the series alive it could use more options and far more content – a career mode and mini-games are nowhere to be seen – but as it stands it’s still just as strong of a game now as it was a year ago.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club)
There's no online play, so loners will have to leave the house and make some friends if they want human opponents.
Read Full Review >Game Almighty
While the controls help to show a continuing evolution of how we use the Wii’s motion sensor technology, it falls far short of excellence thanks to an annoying timing glitch. All in all, you’ll have a good time with either version of this game that you pick up, but the 360 will present a more robust, challenging and rewarding experience.
Read Full Review >Jolt Online Gaming UK
It is worth re-emphasising that the core game is still intact, and is still better than you might expect had you not played it before. It’s just such a crying shame that the control system, as functional as it is, does absolutely nothing for the gameplay.
Read Full Review >PALGN
A decent effort by Rockstar. More could have been done, and it doesn't have the tangible appeal of Wii Sports in the control department, but for a more traditional sports release with some motion based bells and whistles, it's not too bad.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
As a multiplayer game it's an incredible amount of fun, but lone players will suffer from the lack of online gameplay.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
It boldly straddles the line between pick-up-and-play and hardcore simulation in a way that's nothing short of refreshing on a system that's currently caught under an avalanche of mind numbingly simplistic "casual" games.
Read Full Review >Boomtown
It’s a fun game and the new ways to control the game are nice, but Table Tennis on the Wii has an air of missed opportunity about it, and the game fails to set itself apart or improve on the 360 version.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
If you think of it as a kind of a spin on Wii Sports Tennis, then you might enjoy elements of this. Unfortunately, with the disappointing controls you should probably give it a miss.
Read Full Review >GameTrailers
If you don’t have any friends to play with steer clear, but if you live with a group of buddies or have a lot of siblings it can become incredibly addictive.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
If the controls had worked slightly better and there had been some more play modes, especially online multiplayer, this could have been an exceptional title. As it stands now, it feels incredibly short and somewhat unfinished.
Read Full Review >Game Over Online
The controls are functional, but they don’t nearly take full advantage of the Wii’s motion sensing technology, and without online multiplayer the shortcomings of the single player game are that much more evident.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis on the Wii feels like some kind of parable for developers porting existing games to the Wii. Even if your game seems tailor-made for the platform and the genre in question has seen previous success there, as was the case with Table Tennis, it's never a sure thing.
Read Full Review >GameZone
The jettison of online play significantly hurts this game. Playing multiplayer with a friend can be hours of fun, but if you don’t have that friend, the replay value on this game plummets.
Read Full Review >Gamer 2.0
If not for the tragically lackluster presentation, the limited replay incentives, and the fact that it costs more than twenty dollars, it could have been a must-own. It’s an entertaining distraction, but unless you’re a fanatical collector, this one’s strictly a rental.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
While it contains some cool features in the form of three unique play styles and finely tuned audio, the game's timing is almost completely off, even with such simplicities as a serve or a ball return. The visuals also took a step backward.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
If you hadn't played or owned the Xbox 360 previously, you're getting a rather short, mostly entertaining table tennis game. However, for those of you who've played the 360 game, double-dipping would be a mistake. You're paying the same price the 360 version released for to get a graphically downgraded and stripped version of what was a rather exceptional 360 game.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
While it’s still a passably good time, it’s not even close to the fast and precise feel that this title achieved on the 360.
Read Full Review >GamePro
My initial enthusiasm for the game quickly waned and was snuffed out as I realized that there wasn't much content to the game as the game is limited to just two modes: Tournament and Exhibition.
Read Full Review >Gaming Nexus
Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis is a real mixed bag; on one hand the game's sound and structure is sound, but it's hard to get over the poor play mechanics and the disappointing graphics.
Read Full Review >DarkStation
It's hard to enjoy a game that offers up so little to let you enjoy it. If you don't understand what I mean, there are only a few modes in this game, none of which carry a great deal of depth.
Read Full Review >The Wiire
Table Tennis is infinitely enjoyable in multiplayer, but there is little to do for single players.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
All in all, Table Tennis is just too quick, and too cheap port to really get into.
Read Full Review >NZGamer
Multiplayer is definitely the drawcard of the game and could offer some fun knockout type sessions with a group of friends.
Read Full Review >1UP
If you don't own an Xbox 360 and you're bored to death with Wii Sports' Tennis, then Table Tennis is worth a look, but the lack of any personality or features -- most notably the missing online support of its predecessor -- just doesn't give it enough gameplay to last much longer than a one-week rental.
Read Full Review >NintendoWorldReport
The thing that really shakes me about Table Tennis, though, is that Rockstar did virtually nothing to spice up the sport. Like I said before, there are no actual players or Career-type mode. There are no power-ups, and no stat improvements. The closest thing to "technique" you’ll find is in putting spin on the ball and using your focus meter, which actually doesn’t help very much. In all, Table Tennis is a game that just screams "lack of effort."
Read Full Review >Digital Entertainment News
Sure, you see the box and you think, “if this is anything like Wii Sports tennis, it’ll be awesome!”, but trust me when I say this is nothing like Wii Sports Tennis. This is everything like every other crappy port the system has received – graphically inferior, feature-poor and suffering from controls that were originally meant for an analog stick but are now shoehorned uncomfortably into nonsensical hand gestures.

Jeb R. gave it a10:
This is the most fun I have had with a Wii game. If you are into RPG games and sitting by yourself than this game is not for you! If you enjoy having buddies over, drinking beer and trashing talking, then THIS is the game. This game should be within the Top 10 list.
Noel S. gave it a10:
I think this is the most fun game I've ever played on any system. The controls took a big of getting used to, and the load times were non-existent for me, so I have no idea why so many people complain about it. It's an intense game that gives me quite a workout, and while challenging, it always puts a smile on my face. It's no Mario Galaxy, but it's still a winner in my book.
R. S. gave it a2:
Horribly awful controls. The ball does not go where you intend it to, and the responsiveness to the wii remote is extremely poorly designed. Why can't companies spend a little more time on making games realistic? I had high hopes for this game, but it poorly delivered. There are only two options for playing the stupid game. This game had high potential, but Rockstar completely blew it.
Wii T. gave it a0:
How dissapointing.Not nearly as much fun as tennis on wii sports. Graphics are appalling, it takes ages to load, and the gameplay is diabolical. The ball goes nowhere near where you are aiming-it's so frustrating i nearly threw my wiimote at the TV! It's so shallow. Games like this make me want to sell my wii and get an xbox.
Ali C. gave it a0:
Oh the dissapointment. I give this a big 0 as it kept me entertained for appoximately 5 minutes (ie. while i waited for it to load), it's clunky, unresponsive and ugly. What a waste of £30, take my advice and wait for some decent games like 'we love golf' to come out or better yet by a quality game like metroid prime corruption or zelda TP.
Ricardo G. gave it a3:
I was really looking forward to this so I feel very disappointed with what I got. first up, load times are disgracefully long,second there is a distinct lack of synchronisation between actions with the wii remote and actions of the character. Third are the graphics which, as the load times are so long I thought may be high end, but no, average at best. it could have been done on a game cube. Fourth was that the reviews praised the multiplayer and said that it was worth getting for this. Well, for me multiplayer made me feel like an idiot, standing up waiting for the game to load. To sum up I feel that port games for the wii have only brought mediocrity, whether its lazy coding or poor gameplay design. Please, please please give us some proper games built from the ground up for the Wii, don't try to rip us off with a quick fix to your programming problems. By the way exchanged it for Zelda phantom hourglass on the DS, now there's a game that kicks a*s.
Daniel R. gave it a0:
I bought this game about 5 hours ago......took it back to the shop after 1 hour of playing it Pro's A port of a good 360 game Con's It feels really clunky with the wiimote You can't react fast enough 90% of the time The graphics are terrible ( not that they matter ) Full price for a half assed port 0/10 i know that's harsh in some respects but the game promised so much....but delivered too little.
