    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I am not a tennis fan, but I figured I'd give this game a shot since it was free. I have to say while being able to make my own character and choose what playstyle fits me best, I think the creators may have put a little too much emphasis on forcing players to get good or lose. There are many others players out there who would prefer to play a game casually and just for fun, this game isn't a casual experience. It starts out fun in the career mode with minor matches and pro matches that really help you get a grasp on how to play well. However, once you hit the grand slam tournaments it gets very challenging and frustrating. This game, like many others could do with different modes, easy, medium and hard. Rather then expect players to just enjoy the game on one difficulty. Hardcore players complain its too easy, while casuals complain its too hard. If you want more people to enjoy the game allow it to be playable by everyone whether they are just looking for fun or looking for a challenge. Don't force players to either adapt or give up. I can see why this game was given for free with xbox back in the day. Its no surprise with its lack of re-playability. Full Review »
