Rockstar Table Tennis is an exuberant game. I wouldn’t think that the guys that brought us GTA would give us this. First, the graphics are amazing. All the players look real, the environment looks like you are in the arena, and the clothe movement is precise. As you progress through a match, your character’s clothes start to become visibly damp from sweet. You can also see it on their foreheads as well. The sounds are great. If you get into a rally above 5 or so hits, music starts to play and you start to get in to the flow and the rhythm. Players also exert grunts and yells as you lung for the ball. The game play is easy once you gone through the Training mode. In Training mode, you’ll learn the basics from a topspin shot, to hitting soft shots, to hitting the ball in focus mode. Each button has a specific type of shot spin to it (x is a left spin, b is right, etc.) or you could use the right thumb stick. The ball has a tail of color on it to tell you what kind off shot has been made. For example, if your opponent shots a left spin (x button), the ball will have a blue tail. This is helpful on hitting counter shots. Rockstar Table Tennis has great replay value due to the fact that if you want to unlock everything, you have to play with everyone three times, and that’s just to unlock extra characters. You might have to go back to unlock new jerseys and arenas. Multi-player is a plus on this game because it has Xbox Live. Local multi-player is good as well. I’ve had this game for a while, ‘bout six months. I only played this game three out of the six months I’ve had it so far. It’s that good. Go get it. It’s defiantly worth it.

I tested this game at the NCTTA Finals held at Texas Wesleyan College in Fort Worth, Texas. The game's graphics looked finished enough, and so crystal and detailed that you could see sweat dripping off the players as th... Read Full Review
I have to admit, when I read that the 1st Rock-star Games exclusive title for 360 was table tennis, I scoffed and wrote it off as lame. The screen shots, as beautiful as they are, do the game no justice. You need to pl... Read Full Review
