    The quick learning curve and the wide variety of training exercises available.
    The best four-player game in a long time, and an excellent single- and two-player diversion. Don't avoid this because it's not football - you'll get more playtime out of it than you think.

    This is a quality tennis game. The reality of form and shot production is uncanny. The variation in court surface selection, playing modes (singles, doubles) take this a notch above the norm. The only thing holding this back from recieving a ten is the lack of top player selection. We need Agassi or Sampras, or at least more selection. Also -- why is Kafelnikov right handed?

    Although it's a bit on the easy side, it's a great party game and the graphics are pretty incredible.

    I just recently purchased this game off ebay and can't put the controller down. It's like a drug, especially with friends around.

    A truly faithful arcade port, it has amazingly simple controls that make it an easy pick up and play game for anyone.

    Decent enough tennis sim that's playable but ultimately there's not much to it.

    A thoroughly entertaining and addictive tennis title that also doubles as a poster child for high-res Dreamcast graphics.

    May be the best-looking console game of all time, and that alone is worth quite a bit.

    Sega's latest NAOMI-to-Dreamcast conversion excels in nearly all accounts, providing crisp visuals, strong gameplay and plenty of replay value--it's an ace all the way, and a game one would be foolhardy to pass up.
