Focus shots are more accurate, powerful returns that can only be used when a player's focus meter is charged.Īnd that is pretty much it. Each face button is assigned with a different type of spin (top, back, left and right), while the left shoulder button is used for focus shots.

The controls are simple - the Xbox 360's left thumbstick is used to move players, while all of the four face buttons can be pressed to return a shot. Table tennis may not seem the most exciting game to transform into a next-generation video game, but Rockstar have managed to make a compelling title by focusing on getting the mechanics of table tennis down pat. Table Tennis is all about getting the game right, and it delivers.

Rockstar, the innovators of open-ended, sandbox gameplay (as exemplified in their outstanding Grand Theft Auto series), have come up with a title that is notable for its extremely tight focus. Is there a hidden backstory to all of the selectable characters? Are there special codes to unlock Uzis instead of ping pong paddles? Or is there a super secret -Hot Coffee' style cheat for naked pong action? Such is the reputation of developer Rockstar Games for gritty, envelope-pushing titles that you're immediately wondering whether there's more to Table Tennis than meets the eye.
