Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

When you think of rockstar games you think GTA. This means violence and blowing stuff up. However, it also means innovative gameplay and groundbreaking ideas. This is where Table Tennis comes in. I was a bit sceptical about buying a table tennis game and did cnsider it for a long time. I hope this review makes you make a quicker decision. Of all the games I have played for xbox 360 this has perhaps the best visuals. The framerate is consistently ...
...experience a drop in frame rate in online play. The character viewer is a bit of a show off feature and has no real function but is worh looking at just to show how smooth the textures really are. Now to the gameplay. The gameplay appears very simple at first and seems to have little complexity. A glorified version of Pong perhaps. The left stick moves the player around the back line of the table and speed of movement depends on the character used. ...

Review of Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

Rockstar Table Tennis is an example of a game done to near perfection. I bought this game as a newcomer to sporting games and immediately got hooked. Gameplay: OK, it's table tennis so you kind of know what to expect, but that doesn't mean there's not a lot to do. First of all I'd like to say that this game plays extremely fast and there really is never a dull moment. A lot of sporting games tend to put in plenty of animations and mini film clips ...
...a fps game for example, Rockstar have really done an excellent job and put a lot of detail into it. There are a lot of unique characters to choose from and many that are unlocked along the way. These all have different personalities you will get to know and love. The ball itself is quite easy to see and the type of spin placed on the ball by the previous shot is shown by a coloured trail corresponding to the xbox controller buttons. Motion looks ...

Review of Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

It's fair to say that this is the first real budget game to be released on the Xbox 360, and also the first budget game worth buying. I acquired it for £12.99, second-hand a few weeks ago and It has been keeping Gears of War, Burnout Revenge and Oblivion out of my 360 for the most part. Let's start with the offline play. The first thing you will notice probably is how little options there are. You have tournament mode, exhibition mode and training ...
...improve your skill but once you've completed training mode it becomes apparent how limited this game is. In exhibition mode you have the option to play easy, medium or hard skilled matches against any opponent. There is not really much else to say about this mode. In Tournament mode their are 3 different skilled tournaments which require you to beat more than one opponent in order to win them. When you win certain matches you will unlock some stuff ...

Review of Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

When Rockstar games announced they were developing for the Xbox 360 everyone expected their usual fare, a new Grand Theft Auto or Midnight Club, maybe a sequel to Manhunt, but definitely something urban and gritty. But what did we get, a game of ping pong. Everybody laughed at first, they thought it had to be some sort of joke, but now the games here, and believe me, it's no joke. Rockstar may be new in the field of sports games, but they have really ...
...the game is extremely polished, from the photo realistic graphics, perfect gameplay physics, and suitable sound effects to the simple uncluttered menus. This really is the perfect simulation of the sport. Gameplay is easy to pick up with your analogue stick controlling your player and direction of shot and your controllers face buttons determining what type of spin you put on the ball, and the shoulder buttons either adding speed to your shots or ...

Review of Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

the latest budget title from rockstar games is an absolutely amazing . I've seen it can picked up brand new for roughly £13, which is certainly by far the cheapest game available for the 360 at this current time. table tennis offers you fun, addicitive and completely enjoyable gameplay, along with beautiful graphics, for a brilliant sport simulation experience. at times the budget factor does show, with the absence of a full career mode, however ...
...going. Table tennis is sport simulation at its highest quality, its realism is unrivaled by most other sporting games, yet it still manages to maintain a slightly arcadey feel. The choice of table tennis was quite strange coming from rockstar, who have made themseleves famous through violence and bloodshed, however table tennis is something new, refreshing and uplifting and a truely decent title. the new gta game is said to run on the table tennis ...

Review of Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

This game is brilliant for 1 and 2 players, it's more of a family game which im sure will create some competitiveness in the family. It gives you 11 characters and quite a few tournaments. This game is even better if you have a HD TV the detail is emmense. ...

Review of Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

Rockstar have an enviable reputation for making quality games, the Grand Theft Auto series being the most notable. When I saw that this was made by Rockstar, this became the first game that I purchased for my xbox 360 and unfortunately it was also the first one that I put up for sale on eBay. The graphics are average and the gameplay is quite good - but unless you have someone to play against it will soon lose it\'s appeal. This is a game designed ...
...else to play against, please do not spend more than £5 on this from eBay Alternatively if you do not purchase yourself a cheap copy of this game, you could treat yourself to a 3 night hire from Blockbuster. Overall this game will not have longevity for anyone over the age of 18. Kids will love the game but it is not absorbing enough to keep us adults entertained for long. ...

Review of Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

A very fun game to play, i know this game was expensive when it was first released but now its can normally be picked up second hand for about £6-15 or new from £15 - 20. This game is very addictive, the idea that a table tennis game is fun could be seen as ludicrus but this game proves that it can be done. There are about 8 playable characters pepresenting different countries in the world, each character has their own way of serving and their own ...

Review of Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

This is a fun, playable product, which for around £15 is good value. The graphics are brilliant and will soon become addicted by the sounds of the bats & balls. The online play is okay, not the best, there isn't a lot of variation. However the campaign is fun and enjoyable, I wouldn't expect this to be your best 360 game but a worthwhile purchase. There are around four tournaments at different difficulties, nineteen enviroments, about ten characters ...
...is close to immitating real life simulation, I slightly agree with this, although I wouldn't rate it too highly. I think others will enjoy this more than others, for instance, players that favour shooters, may find Table Tennis slightly lame and boring and so, for more action seeking people, i advise you not to buy this, but for a quick go on your 360, yes. ...
