Had high hopes for this game, but it doesn't deliver. Tennis is a simulation sport. You need to have all the shots and control over the ball. Top Spin 2 nailed this quite well although that bozo at gamespot doesn't see it. You had lobs, slices, regular shot and top spin all different and well executed. You also had risk shots and drop shots which was awesome. Here, you can get by, by pressing A throughout the game. What does it say about a game that needs only one button to play ? Cons - * terrible shot variety * too much diving * needless ball trails * ball feels soft and cottony. You don't get the satisfying sound of hitting it or it rocketing past. ( sometimes it does rocket past at unrealistic speeds so its either extreme ) * ball placement doesn't have finesse. It just goes in the gen. direction * Not too satisfying game * overall too arcadey and is really PONG at its core, thats all. * Highly Inferior to Top Spin2
