When we got word that Rockstar Games would be supporting the Wii, everyone had the same thought; Rockstar Table Tennis is essential on this system. Well apparently great minds think alike, as we shortly caught wind that Rockstar would not only be bringing it uber-violent Manhunt 2 to Nintendo's new console, but also the PS2 hit Bully and Xbox 360's Table Tennis. We now have the final version in-office, and after putting in a ton of volley time we've come to find that, while not perfect, Rockstar's latest - or should we say "first" now that Manhunt has been delayed - Wii effort is still a ton of fun to play.
If you've had a chance to play the 360 version of the game you should already know exactly what to expect content-wise from Rockstar's Wii effort. The game features the same list of characters, same venues, and all-around same gameplay as its predecessors, delivering exactly the same content across the board, minus the online play. You'll pick your player, rock some training, exhibition, or tournament play, and eventually begin unlocking more outfits, characters, and venues to enjoy. The game is simple in concept, not all that deep - it is, after all, based on ping pong - but entirely multiplayer-focused in competitive, hard-knocks gameplay. This is your older brother's idea of a "deep game," not your WoW-playing uber-nerd friends from school. If you don't find depth in mastering the gameplay and smoking friends time and time again, Table Tennis may not be your game.
A distinguished trio of Rockstar Xbox 360 titles are coming to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility catalog next week: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Midnight Club: Los Angeles and Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis.
Definitely with you on the Midnight Club but Table Tennis was pretty awesome too!.
Hell yeah! Gamestop has Table Tennis for $2.99 now, and Midnight Club LA Complete for $9.99, Guarantee the prices will rise tomorrow so get them now.
I literally just bought LA Complete but for PS3 instead due to their 4 for $20 ($16 with Elite Pro) sale. Glad I have my receipt at least.

Ten years to the day it was released, here's why Rockstar's sports sim is well worth revisiting.
ChampChong drops by the Pocket studio to chat with NichBoy and school him in RockStar Games Presents Table Tennis.
What year is it? I'm serious, somebody tell me what year it is?!!! <collapses in a disoriented mess>
Dammit! I saw this headline and initially thought they were doing a sequel. Such a quality addictive game.
