Glad to hear someone enjoyed the experience. Glad to see EG producing reviews that have true, personal opinions in there. Kudos

Table tennis death moves mod, hopefully you will also be able to unlock a baseball bat.

Crazy, curse you and your posative review. I had no intention of buying this until I read your review. Wonder when it's out in Hong Kong.

What a superb review! :)
Not even because of the score but because the writing was so positive and really got across Tom's love for the mechanics. I'll see you all in the EG table tennis online tournament cup at the weekend. :D PS: Can anyone confirm you can use the second stick instead of the buttons for shots? I had read that was possible and was really looking forward to it. |

"When you go to play a shot [...] the pad starts to vibrate. When the hard vibes kick in [...] it's a delightful panic."
Sony are fooling themselves if they think a tilt sensor is more important than such tactile feedback. I'm really looking forward to trying this game. It'd be great to see Rockstar put a demo out on Live as well--I'm sure plenty of skeptics would be instantly converted. Well-written review, too. Edit: Stylee.

Do the female characters get "visibly sweaty" and to what extend?
:-) Ooh, come on; don't shoot the messenger... Someone had to ask; it is Rockstar we're talking about here, after all... All in all, I'm really glad to hear it came along nicely. To be honest, I was looking forward a couple of trustworthy reviews before ordering. |

That's the sort of review I want to read - personal touches of love or hate. I haven't got a 360, but this may well be something I'll get with it very shortly (as a birthday present to myself).
Yeah, and I'm wondering what the two-player offline mode is like. From all the screens I've seen (which isn't many), it looks very much like a one-player game. |

Good review, glad to see that Tom "got it" completely.
When you're playing online, are you always at the bottom of the table? |

I'm sure the game is wonderful to play but 9/10 for a sports game with no decent single player mode?!? Even the price is no excuse as it's still nearly the cost of most full-priced Xbox/PS2 games and lacks longevity unless you only play multiplayer games. And the lack of a player creation tool means that you'll be facing the exact same 11 opponents over and over and over and over again and more than likely playing against the same player as yourself online!!!
IGN marked the game down for it's lack of single player mode and gave it 78%, which sounds like a fair score to me given the game's lack of game modes.

Well done on an excellent review. Nicely summed up the game's mechanics, as well as outlining how it plays and feels. A 360 is looking like a more & more likely prospect as the months go by...

"It's the sign of a great sports game when you can't think of anything you'd want to change in the next version. It doesn't need another version."
So you wouldn't have thought to add a proper career mode, a doubles mode and more players to choose from then seeing as you're against the create-a-player feature? /wink/ |
