IGN Hands On With Rockstar's Table Tennis

Filed in archive Previews on March 29, 2006

When you think, "Rockstar" what comes to mind?

Hot Coffee? GTA? manhunt? Max Payne?

Right, that's what I think about too. But, Rockstar's newest game on the Xbox 360 is something completely different. It's table tennis.

If you haven't heard of this game, its a third person table tennis game that plays similar to Virtua Tennis. IGN recently got a chance to go hands on with the title and had some good things to say.

I'm not going to summarize the entire thing right here because frankly, I didn't read the entire thing. But there is one thing about the game that you will want to know. Unlike most games where you don't really feel like you're doing the action on screen - IGN uses the example of how in Madden, you don't really feel like you're catching a pass. In Table Tennis, it really feels like you're playing Ping Pong.

It releases May 22nd, and seems like it's on a the right track so far. Check back for more updates as the release date nears.
