Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis (Xbox 360)

Advantages: Innovative gameplay, great visuals and an excellent price
Disadvantages: limited by the fact it is essentially a table tennis game.

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. ... Read review

Advantages: Very innovative, very addictive, doesn't get old very quickly
Disadvantages: Is very limited, no extra game modes or anything of the sort

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 ...

Disadvantages: Short single player game

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 ...

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.

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: None really

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 ...
