It seams that a variety of game genres can be developed on the Iphone with great success, from strategy to puzzles to shooter and even sport simulators, they all work. A lot of these games, if made right, feel at home on the device. In this review we are going to take a look at ping-pong games for the Iphone. It may seam as a strange game for a mobile device, but it is not, because of the large touch screen.
Currently on the App Store there are 4 ping pong games: Table Tennis Star, iPingPong 3D, Zen Table Tennis and last but not least World Cup Ping Pong.
Because it is the newest, and the only one that is played in landscape mode I am going to talk about the last game in the list: World Cup Ping Pong.
This is probably the best ping-pong simulation game on the Iphone, with great controls and a variety of playing modes it is the only one that takes full advantage of Iphone’s beautiful and huge screen.
Each of its 4 modes offers a different playing experience. In Practice Mode, select one of eight computer opponents to play against, while in Tournament Mode see how good you are against all of them. In Arcade Mode, play a new twist on the classic game with some added bonus features. With each of these modes, select up to three unique paddle styles to play with. Finally, in Head-to-Head Mode, compete in real-time against another player on the same Iphone/iPod touch. For all your victories you have a local and even an online High score board, for bragging rights.
The controls are very simple, you keep one finger at the base of your paddle, and drag it across the screen to hit the ping-pong ball. The game takes into account how fast you move your finger and the way you hit the ball to add speed and effect to your trajectory.
Ping-pong games are great fun for the Iphone, and all 4 that are available on the appstore are must-haves, but Gamedroid recommends World Cup Ping Pong, as it is the best developed and the only one that can be played in landscape mode, which is a great feature.
