Table Tennis -- 50-50.

To put it bluntly, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis is equal parts great fun and great frustration. The game controls well enough. You can play the game in combination with either the left analog stick and the buttons or the left analog stick and the right analog stick. The left analog stick will move your character to the left and right and toward and away from the table. The right analog stick or the face buttons will provide you with different types of spin on the ball. The A button or down on the right stick provides topspin. The Y button or up provides backspin. The X button or left provide left spin. The B button or right on the right analog stick provides right spin. As you play, if you hold the stick direction, or whatever spin button down, you'll build up a charge which adds to both the level of spin placed on the ball and also focus to the focus meter. You only add to your focus meter with successfully made shots. The left and right bumpers allow you to use focus stored up in your focus meter. Focus is essentially slow motion that will allow you the extra time to get into place on far reaching shots. There isn't much else to the controls. The games are fast and frenetic and fun. Or they can be. They can also be frustrating to no end. The game's AI is rather cheap. Almost to the point of cheating. It makes impossible shots for you to make no matter the computer character's stats. I'm about halfway through the game's hard tournament. I haven't been online with the game yet. I'll have to see if the online mode is the title's saving grace. The offline mode irritates me. It's a shame though, as when it's fun, it's great fun.
