Table Tennis Demo to go live on Marketplace
Look for the word “controversial” in the dictionary and you’ll probably see Rockstar‘s logo right beside it. We really don’t know if Table Tennis is another controversy magnet, but judging from the raves it’s been getting from gamers who recently bought a copy of the said company’s latest project, the infamous game developers might have another adjective attached to their name – extraordinary.
Now more people can get hooked on the latest buzz (or should I say ping?) Rockstar has created as the demo of the said indoor sport-themed game hits the Marketplace today at 13:00 (GMT). The press release puts it best with:
“Wield your bat with Zen-like focus and mastery in either one- or two-player modes to witness all the authentic, addictive, high speed thrills of the real thing. Compete as pro players Mark or Liu Ping in a three-game match in ChinaÂ’s National Table Tennis Auditorium to experience the lifelike graphics and hyper-realistic physics featured in the full game.“
At least there are still some “bat wielding”. Yep, Rockstar’s making ‘smashes’ with this one, only it’s not the type of ‘smash’ we’ve come to expect from their games. Garnering praises like “Simple, direct, expertly balanced and unpretentious, this is like a shot of concentrated Red Bull” (ZOO Weekly); “Rockstar has served up the best game on the 360 so far” (Observer Sport); and “…I can confirm that Rockstar has created another classic” (The Star on Sunday), looks like we’ve got another ‘smash’ hit within our grasp.
