The mini-games won’t keep you going for long, but they’re fun enough and work well for pass-the-headset local multiplayer. Like I said, the physics are good, but there’s still something a little “off” about it. These are fun, bite-sized experiences that are really helpful in learning the game’s rules, controls, and for getting acclimatised with the game’s physics. I can’t say I mind that much as the A.I provides a good challenge, but it would be nice to at least have a go against a real person instead of a few lines of code. I don’t even have any friends who own the game, so co-ordinating a session wasn’t possible. I stayed up until 4 AM one night in the hope of playing against somebody in North America. I’m in mainland Europe, so I thought it’d be easy to find a game in the early evening. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve tried to find a game at different times of day to no avail. There’s multiplayer, though it seems to be dead on arrival. The more difficult A.I, however, is still kicking my arse and I’ve yet to win a match against it. This is where I spent most of my time swinging my paddle, and although I was losing like a chump against the easiest A.I opponents, I found my groover after a while and managed to get a good back and forth going, eventually winning a few rounds. You’ve got the single-player regular matches to play through against varying A.I difficulties. VR Ping Pong Pro is split into a few different modes. It’s much better than the first game, for sure, but you still need to adjust to the game’s take on gravity, velocity, and aerodynamics. So, the big one: are the physics better this time around? Yes, but it’s still not quite right. For this review, I tried both methods because one of my PS Move wand controllers died halfway through playing and I couldn’t be faffed with recharging it. Using just one controller is fine, but if you want to serve in a more true-to-life fashion, you’ll need two one to tee the ball up ready for a shot, the other to smack it with your digital paddle. You’ll need a PSVR headset and at least one PS Move wand controller, though you can use two if you’ve got them. VR Ping Pong Pro, as the name suggests, is a PSVR-only game. In the follow-up, VR Ping Pong Pro, the developers have looked to rectify those problems. The physics were completely off, and the presentation didn’t sit well with me. All the way back in 2017, I reviewed the first VR Ping Pong game.
