Instinktiv preschen Sie zum Netz vor. Der Gegner erwidert zwar den Aufschlag, aber Sie sind gewappnet. Blitzartige Reaktion: und ein vernichtender Schmetterball läßt dem Kontrahenten keine Chance. Sie Sind der "Tennis-Crack"! On your first serve, the ball explodes off your racquet like a fiery missile. Instinctively you move toward the net. Your opponent returns your serve, but you're ready for him. With lightning speed you raise your racquet and smash the ball. He never had a chance. You're the Tennis Ace! ---- ^Presse^ \\ \\ - ^Files^ \\ \\ - ^Codes^ \\ - ^Kommentare^ \\ \\ // Wha? A tennis game? Good god, you probably are thinking, considering the suck we know as "Super Tennis" on the SMS, but I assure you, this game is entirely different (I in fact love Super Tennis, but we'll not delve into that for the moment). I really don't know anything about the story behind this glorious creation, but I do know it's one of the few titles to feature a two-player option, something really missing from a lot of SMS games. True, it's a sports title, but it's surprisingly addictive. The gameplay on this is relatively simple. You have a practice mode, exhibtion mode to hone your skills, and then a tournament mode. Any of these can be two-player. I didn't even really try the other modes and went straight into the grandslam, ultra mindnumbing, kill you eventually tournament mode. You get to pick your player based on their different stats, and trust me, these really do matter. The view of the main action is strangely a bird's eye view, but it works very well. Most tennis games have that behind the player quasi 3D view that really can be awkward if the controls aren't set up correctly. This has to be the only tennis game in history to go against the grain. When you serve, or when the opponent serves, you see the character(s) from the side. It's a nice touch. In the tournament mode you travel around the world, starting in Japan, and then take on first 3 players in singles, and then 3 teams in doubles. Win both all the way through, and you progress to the next leg of the tournament. All of the traditional rules of tennis apply. It starts out fairly easy, and then gets progressively pretty hard. As you win singles and doubles, you are given more stats to increase you speed, power, and so forth. [...] This game is great to come back to, and it will definitely take you quite awhile to beat it. This is due primarily from the length of the actual matches depending on how good you get, and the fact that you will rarely want to play more than one in one sitting. I'm only about half way through the tournament, and it's been about 4 months now, but I've put it aside for a bit to play other games. At any rate, I'm sure you'll keep playing or come back to it. In conclusion, I have to say that this is a great game, better than Super Tennis, but I can't say if it's better than any of the other tennis games as I really don't care. I doubt they can beat the awesomeness of this game, and I don't even feel like bothering to find out. It's a tennis game, and a great one at that, I can't see how if could possibly be improved upon.// - www.SMStributes.co.uk ----
