Table Tennis

Although Nintendo's Wii has struck a massive chord with both gamers and non-gamers, it has recently suffered from a lack of compelling new games.

While we wait for meaty efforts like Metroid Prime: Corruption and Super Mario Galaxy, this immaculate remake of Rockstar's cheap and addictive Xbox 360 game will satisfy those who love Wii Sports Tennis but are getting bored with it. A no-frills table tennis simulator (with the best graphics we have seen on the Wii), it has a bit of a learning curve thanks to three different control systems.

The basic one ignores the nunchuk and moves the player for you; sideways swipes launch drop shots, while more expansive ones send the ball long. Spin, imparted by the D-pad, is crucial, as are Focus shots, which you need to time properly.

The other two control systems let you either move your player or direct your shot with the nunchuk joystick. Once you find your control system, Table Tennis will have you hooked, whooping and hollering - and it is sufficiently energetic to raise a bit of a sweat.

Essential for any Wii owner.
