This is a shambles of a tennis sim. The whole idea of a tennis game is be fun and exciting to play and yet it's boring and dumb and constantly frustrating.The graphics are shaky. The movements may be fluent and well animated but in the replays they look stupid with players looking hunched and gormless and the movements are all the same. They walk with a zombified look on their faces and most of the time their heads are turned to the right and it looks daft. And the fist pumping action looks awful...
The sound is the best part of the game, the music is okay but the sound effects are good and the crowd's reaction to the plethora of shots your player makes is good with some calls of "go on BLAH!" but that's where my good comments stop...
The gameplay is DREADFUL. The dire controls are wasting the game's potential right from the off because everytime you try to hit a shot it takes the computer almost a second to respond making the job of returning a ball impossible. It's almost as though you have to hit the ball as soon as your opponent gives it a thwack which makes it impossible to even win a point let alone a match. And the chances of your player getting an ace on his serve? Well I won't even try to explain it without using the word impossible or pointless.
The games modes are wasted in a game like this and the footage of the players in the game is horribly limited. The basics of the game are good but they've wasted this opportunity and it's bad. BAD I TELL YOU!
And who exactly is Virginie Razzano? And I'm a tennis fan too!
