By cjdillow | Review Date:
I picked this game up expecting well not much and that is exactly what I got from this game. The gameplay is not all that good because all you have to do to hit the ball is hold down A. The serving is okwith aiming of shot and choice of power to hit the ball with.

Considering it is a DS game the graphics were, well not bad but not excellent. The storyline is well thought out with you starting at a training camp and then working your way up to the masters and playing Federer. One problem which if solve could have changed the face of the game was the level of difficulty as on hard I finished the game easily and undeafeted. Unless I am some pro at tennis games it was way, way to easy. Bottomline is don't get it for more than $5. It can however grow on you especially on long trips. Perhaps rent it first.
