Clapfoot Games brings table tennis to the Amazon Appstore, and Amazon is giving it away for free today. Virtual Table Tennis 3D the big game os ping pong to your little touch screen Android.
Though the title says it, this game is far from "Virtual" and not exactly "3D" either. The menu screens are all presented in 2D while the gameplay is in 3D, but not the 3D so many are advertising in movies and console video games. As stereoscopic 3D is becoming more commonplace, people will begin assuming the 3D in the title for all things, maybe except fruit snacks, means you can where special glasses to play. This is not the case with Virtual Table Tennis 3D. In fact, the only thing that is actual 3D is the ball. The paddle moves on a 2D plane and the table could very well be a 2D image of a table that appears to be going away from you.
The controls are not nearly as responsive as the iOS version of the same game. A bit of lag may be present on many devices while the AI is unrelenting. One match in Intermediate and I was uninstalling. The keystone to the game design arch is controls. A game can look like a work of art or on par with the console version, but if the controls just aren't there, then everything falls apart.
