  Table Tennis - MSN Encarta
Table tennis is played on a table measuring 9 ft by 5 ft (2.74 m by 1.52 m), with its upper surface 30 in (76 cm) above the floor.
The resiliency of the surface is such that a standard table tennis ball, when dropped from a height of 1 ft (30.5 cm), will rebound to a height anywhere from 8.75 to 9.75 in (22.2 to 24.8 cm).
Like tennis, table tennis involves hitting the ball back and forth over the net until one of the players misses the ball, or hits it into the net or off the table; in each of these cases the opponent scores a point.

 Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis for Xbox 360 Review - Xbox 360 Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis Review
Table Tennis defies you to not be impressed with its incredible-looking player models.
As a video game, though, Table Tennis plays like a high-speed distillation of the gameplay offered by the likes of Virtua Tennis and Top Spin, and like the most addictive of games, the action is easy to pick up but still rich with the kind of subtlety that makes it a challenge to truly master.
Table Tennis is definitely more concerned with getting the core gameplay correct than it is with adding frills, which comes through in the game's relatively modest options.

 Table Tennis review for the XBOX360
Considering the game is mostly played in the basements of frat houses as a means to get chicks drunk enough to maybe show their boobs before passing out, it’s a little hard to take seriously.
As this is essentially a game of tennis on a tiny court, knowing how hard to hit the ball is the real key to success.
With good mechanics and delivery, Table Tennis will certainly keep you and your impoverished frat buddies entranced for a bit, but the profound lack of depth makes it a decidedly hard pledge.
