    In the end, this one poses as a tennis game for beginners, but even tykes will only be mildly amused.

    As a tennis player myself, I feel like this is one of the most responsive tennis games that was out at the time of the PS2. I've playedAs a tennis player myself, I feel like this is one of the most responsive tennis games that was out at the time of the PS2. I've played through a couple different tennis games, and all of them fall into one of two traps - they are either too realistic and thus feel sluggish to play, or they are too unrealistic and thus feel too removed from the classic tennis experience. This game hits the perfect balance between those two extremes.… Full Review »

    I actually play tennis and feel this is the most responsive is how you can place every tennis shot. Drop shots lobs counters volleys.

When I get a perfectly timed swing of the racket the ball has extra pop. The game is easy to pick up. So much fun playing Doubles with a buddy.

    I have no idea who thought it would be a good idea to call this "EVERYBODY'S" tennis, because this is clearly not for everybody. It might lookI have no idea who thought it would be a good idea to call this "EVERYBODY'S" tennis, because this is clearly not for everybody. It might look funny and cartoonish, but the gameplay is punishing beyond belief. Even the easiest opponents can have you running around the court, while you hit perfect angles on them. This is not funny, but frustrating as hell. The training mini game is impossible to get anything higher than a D rating on a good day. It's as if the develloper didn't know what they wanted to make: a simulation game with arcade gameplay or an arcade game with simulated gameplay. I clearly don't know, but it fails at being either of them. It's just not a fun game to play, when the AI only misses shots when you hit perfect ones. Not my kind of tennis game, and i played games like Top Spin 2, 3 and 4, Virtua Tennis 3, virtua tennis 2009 and Smash Court 2. Top Spin 4 is clearly the best, but this doesn't even come close to the worst.… Full Review »
