has arcade style gameplay and wacky characters, so let\u2019s see how this one fares for me.\u00a0 King of Ping Pong MEGAMIX is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n<p>Ping Pong is already pretty simple, but this one\u2019s even more basic than you might think.\u00a0 You can move your paddle to the middle or left and right, and press one of three buttons to lob it left, right, or in the middle.\u00a0 You must try not to miss and whoever makes it to a certain point threshold wins.\u00a0 There are all sorts of wacky character opponents with special moves to keep you on your toes.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if you get any special moves because the game\u2019s instructions are very poor.\u00a0 At the beginning they flashed a screen with text on how to play, and I think I might\u2019ve pressed the wrong button before I could read all the pages, and they wouldn\u2019t let me go back and review it.<\/p>\n<p>You can play arcade mode where you challenge each opponent or do a tournament mode.\u00a0 You can also unlock rackets, too.\u00a0 There\u2019s also stats, a glossary, and a gallery to view.\u00a0 Of course, I really can\u2019t tell you about any of the modes because the game is too darn hard.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t get past the first opponent.\u00a0 I know I\u2019m not very good at tennis, ping pong, or just plain old Pong games, but come on.\u00a0 The difficulty and lack of good instructions turned me off of this one pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/pingpong_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
