A great game for old school system aficionados.

I remember the 2600. My brother and I had ET, Combat, Pitfall, Pac-man (there was no Ms. at that time kiddies) and Pole Position. One favorite was Pong, we connected the optional paddle-wheel style controls and played until our still-developing wrist were palsied from improper use (get your minds out of the gutter, folks).
So when I finally got my hands on Rockstar's Table Tennis, it took me back to the times of good old fashioned video gaming. Maybe I'm biased from my early exposure to simple games that focused on a single subject, but I find myself completely hooked on this game. I can play this game for hours on end, and at this point it rivals the amount of time I spent mastering Super Street Fighter for the Sega Genesis way back in 1994.
One thing I really like about the game is that it has this quirky, ambient, euro-trash element. Its like you could meet the members of Kraftwerk or the Nihilists from "The Big Lebowski" in the audience. The game really captures the kitschy elements and strange sub-culture of real life ping pong counter-culture.
Definitely worth the money, low price-point and you'll more than likely be able to pick it up second-hand.

    $40 fun with tons of replay and trash talking.

    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
