   The prodigal 11-year old Ai Fukuhara of Japan's national table tennis team joins seven fictional anime characters in bouts of dexterity. Players may choose Ai as their on-screen heroine or pick from a cast of characters that include a salaryman, a kimono-clad young lady, or an old guy dressed in shorts and sandals. The action runs hot when the ball starts bouncing and players will run the ping pong gauntlet as lightning speed is required to deflect the rampaging ball. You're allowed full freedom of movement in order to range the length of your end of the table. The nature of the game allows for one shot blowouts.
