I've seen a few of you guys online playing it. What do you think?

Best version of Pong that I've ever played. Simple to play, hard to master, and always, always hectic. Looks excellent also. Super-fast gameplay with super-smooth animations. It sometimes feels like your moves are pre-determined, but you have full control over the spin of your ball at all times.

Single-player is frustrating like Ninja Gaiden(you can only get beat down so many times before going on to play something else), and there isn't much going on online. The matches that I have played were against people that were sore gamers(I gave them bad feedback, the jerks). It wasn't because I was good, but because I used Liu Ping. My first game I lost(pretty badly), and my second game the guy quit after two points, and then I couldn't find another online match for half an hour before I went back to SP.

It costs 40.00 for a reason. It's pretty bare bones when it comes to the overall package. But it totally delivers in gameplay.

Still waiting for Bully, Rockstar.

Table Tennis is a good game with great gameplay. The ping pong mechanics (can't believe I'm saying that) are top notch.

Like Cuddly stated, the game is easy to play yet hard to master. Graphics are superb as are the animations.

I've only played about 5 hours or so and I'm enjoying it thus far.

If you had to choose between Table Tennis and Top Spin 2, which would you pick?

I've played both and prefer Table Tennis.

Top Spin 2 feels slow and sluggish which hurts the gameplay. If only it were Top Spin 1 with better graphics!! This it most certainly is not.

Thanks, Five. That's what I wanted to hear, a good ole comparison. Does Table Tennis have a career mode of any type?

I guess the next comparison for TT would be Virtua Tennis 3, but I'm not sure when (or for what system) it's coming out.

No career mode. It has a tournament mode but it's fairly short for each character. Or it would be short if I could beat each tourney :)
