An Interesting Novelty

A lot of what makes this game popular is the fact that it exists to begin with. Whe we think of Rockstar Games, our minds go to massive IPs like Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead or, if you are a little older, something like Midnight Club.
While they have had some interesting side ventures over the years, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis is definitely a weird one.
Once you get past the novelty of its existence though, the game itself is just okay at best. Its a standard table tennis game that offers nothing more than what you would expect to find in an arcade game from around this time.
While it is decently entertaining for a quick gaming session, there isn't a unique twist to it or anything to signify Rockstar's involvement in any way. No snarky sense of humor or hidden references to their other works.
The achievements arent anything special either, so it isn't anything of value for achievement hunters.
Overall, if you see it on sale for $5 or close to that price point it could be worth it, but most of what makes it memorable comes from the name.

If i wanted to play a table tennis game, this was the one. But, who wants to play table tennis game?!

Looking back I can't believe this game came out in 2006. One of the most technically adept sports games ever released. The moment to moment gameplay is almost perfect. Doesn't hold up well to today's standards in terms of providing a full package-- especially not at a $60 price point-- but otherwise this is a freakishly good time considering what it is and who made it.

There is an alternate universe where Rockstar Table Tennis is the biggest entertainment property in history and GTA was a weird anomaly

I miss when Rockstar would do fun one off games like this
