Three new Rockstar Presents Table Tennis gameplay videos

No other sport can be as demanding or as brutal as table tennis. Not only do you have to have lightning-fast reflexes, but also the hand-eye coordination to match. And while most of us can only hope to achieve such a level of mastery with the sport that we can have endless rallies AND be able to smash the ball back to our opponent – videogames, thankfully, can make up for our lack of godlike dexterity, as we can see here with this gameplay video update of Rockstar Presents Table Tennis for the Nintendo Wii.

While the videogame community was certainly surprised at Rockstar’s sudden deviation from games such as Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt to create a sports game, there’s no doubt that the end result is definitely just as fun and fresh as their other titles.

The same goes for Rockstar Presents Table Tennis‘ Wii version, with the graphics sharp and the gameplay mechanics solid. The brief slowdowns and cut-aways add to the tension of an already tense match-up, and gives it that extra little bit of awesome. Too bad there’s no online multiplayer though, but it’s definitely more intense to play head-to-head.

Embeds are below, you know what to do. Enjoy!
