 Good fun, needs a sequel May 31, 2008

How anyone can copmpare this to Wii sports is beyond me. This is much better, with more control and representing a real challenge. Equally, this is no gym replacement! LOL
The best thing to do is to dive straight into the tournaments. It took me a while to get used to the controls, and not without frustration. But after a while they become second nature; then the fun really starts.
The key to this game is to watch the other player - as you would in real life. Their stance before they strike gives a lot of info about the speed and direction they will shoot. It's a nice, realiistic touch, but it's most immediate use is to cope with the control lag. Although I use the Control Freak configuration, it is primarily the early timing of your swing, rather than player's position that determines success. Unfortunately, this can lead to some mechanical play during the longer (and often very enjoyable) rallies.
I experimented with holding the Wii remote like a pen, as a professional might hold his bat. That would appear to offer the most realistic sense of control, but I usually revert to a normal hold when the action is getting high. My laziness perhaps?
My verdict is - very good game - funa nd addictive, but ultimately not challenging enough.
I would like to see a sequel with online mode and more intuitive controls (i.e. bat-wielding). The rest is just fluff reallly - gameplay is king here.
And yeah - the loading times are a bit ridiculous.
 Not very good April 20, 2008

Difficult to get the hang of. The music is very annoying. Characters can't be customised other than changing the color of their clothes. Overall it's pretty rubbish. Pity the design wasn't more like the tennis in Wii sports.
Could have been more challenging April 6, 2008

I was orinally warned off this game from some freinds as they found it too difficult. Strangely, I found it completely the opposite and picked up it very quickly. I'd won most of the tournaments in a couple of days...? Very enjoyable all the same and it certainly works up a sweat on the harder matches. Good fun, but won't have anything like the same last-a-bility as the tennis on Wii sports.
 real life tactics February 28, 2008

I am an above-average table tennis player myself. I know it is hard to make a good video game on table tennis, but this one is really exceptional. I used the sharp shooter control mode and quickly got "hooked" to the game. I did not read the manual in detail. I just used my common sense and it worked ! The opponents' gesture told you what they're going to do and I just returned the ball to the other side. I am very happy because I think this is exactly what the players want: we play table tennis in this way in real life, and it works again in the video game ! I beated the all-stars tournament in a few days' time. But the game has replay value since I can choose many different characters. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves table tennis.
Missed a trick????? January 24, 2008

Wot no ping-pong noise from my wiimote?? Recently purchased (shop around for good deal) had high hopes for this one - this should be pick up 'n' play just with wiimote but the only way I can get the ball to go anywhere like where I want I have to use the nunchuck!! Why?? Wii sports tennis has a sense of involvement and is best played standing up - this does not detect backhand and a 'smash' is executed with a mere 'flick' of the wiimote (as a whoosh emits from it) PLEASE!!!! Table tennis will, i'm sure, be better represented on this format in future.
