My first concern when I dived into the game will be the gameplay. If you were to create a console game from the sport “ping pong”, the challenging part will be the control. A table tennis ball is not that big and on screen, it does look pretty small, even on my 29 inch TV. Thankfully, the control is good. After half an hour, I am smashing ping pong like a world champion.

Post by: Delphian on July 26, 2001, 10:46:34 AM: ehh... Just pick up a copy of Mario Tennis and forget about this game (Which might actually be easier to do if you actually play this first).

I\'m just waiting for a table football game.;)
