Summary
Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis For Nintendo Wii makes perfect sense. The game, which originally appeared on Xbox 360, was such a simple-but-effective experience for the then all-consuming home console, has now found its spiritual home with the motion-sensitive controller.
Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis is essentially unchanged from the 360 incarnation. Indeed, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Okay, the visuals aren't quite as sumptuous, but with a game like this, it's the action that really matters, and the sport of table tennis and the demands it puts upon you as a Wii player are a joy to behold.
There's a selection of players available from the outset, all with their own playing powers: some have a great defence, others have a powerful forehand - all the characteristics you would find in real life. There's also a choice of Tournament and Exhibition modes, with the progress you make reflected in the ongoing toughness of the ties in which you'll partake.
All you need is two controllers for a guaranteed great time. Flying solo is good too, but go up against a friend, and the fun is more than doubled.
