Off the wall, but way too much fun
Graphics wise it is fantastic. The emotions the models show is great, they have a very completed look and I have not observed any collision errors that I have seen in other high profile games. The back grounds are a tad sparce but people waving in the back ground would just be distracting.
Control is pretty good with options of buttons vs right stick when it comes to ball control. I still prefer the buttons as I feel I have a little more control. I like the inclusion of colored cues on the ball to know how it is spinning. It does help with shot selection but at higher levels you really need to plan moves a head vs always being reactive.
The A/I over all is good, though each player seems to have it's weeknesses that come out a little like Mike Tysons boxing on the NES. I guess with any one on one game be it fighting or sports it will just happen. Granted thier short comings become harder to exployit as difficulty goes up.
One line the game fucntions well for some nice one on one. Thus far match ups have been pretty close so that has been nice.
Overall I have to gives this two thumbs up.
