Table Tennis
Platform: Xbox 360
Publisher: Rockstar
Review Type: Looky
Version: Trailer
Some people thought that the announcement of this game was a practical joke. Sure, Rockstar has cultivated something of a bad boy image. But they're not all about gangstas and guns. What about Red Dead Revolver? Wait, that one has guns. Okay, so maybe Rockstar's games are a tad exploitative.
But even the haters have to grudgingly admit that Rockstar has chops. Games like Grand Theft Auto 3 don't happen accidentally. I'm betting that these guys have something to prove with Rockstar Game Presents Table Tennis (that's the "official" name). They've got the sales and they've got the breathless perfect scores. But can Rockstar create a finely tuned sports game? Grand Theft Auto 3 and its sequels have a pretty loose feel, especially when gunplay was involved.
If anything, I'm jazzed to see where they go with the game's music. Rockstar's music supervisors are serious licensing ninjas -- the cratedigging equivilent of Ito Ogami. According to a sharp ear on NeoGAF, the track in the trailer is Quo Vardis by G-Man. A game soundtrack full of minimal techno of the Kompakt ilk would be pretty fresh.
