Alrighty, you ready for this?

Ping Pong on PS2!!!

Released Dec. 11th, 2000.  (I wasn\'t here then so I don\'t know if y\'all have covered this game or not.)

THIS SHOULD NOT STAY IN JAPAN!  Bring it to the rest of the world!

Check out this awesome movie!

I can\'t imagine that game controlling very well, and I\'m 100% sure that we\'ll never see it over here. Those Japanese love some Ping Pong. It\'s kind of scary.

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.

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.;)
Er, excuse me, how much for one of those, uh, prophylactics?..........But I don\'t have a dollar and thirty-five cents!

I love pong, it\'s one of the greatist games ever.  It\'s so basic but so fun.
