4.0 out of 5 stars Tennis Masters Series 2003: too predictable?, May 4, 2004

When I first obtained the English version of the game about 8 months ago, I was thrilled at the realism of the rallies, graphics, skills involved, settings; just about everthing. However, I soon realized that the outcome of the games are fixed, assuming you have reached a reasonable skill level. There comes a point where yo know who's going to win, and knowing this in advance takes much pleasure out of the game. Ther are many signs which tell you what the outcome is going to be. Your opponent begins to make impossible shots, you are succesful, when you shouldn't be: for ex: when you serve, or when you hit a groundstroke, the opponent can either hit it back to you, or make a return you cannot possibly reach. Certain patterns emerge, and tell you in advance what the outcome is going to be. Still, it is the best tennis game for PC I have seen so far, and I still enjoy playing it for relaxation, but knowing the outcome of a match is fixed takes much of the pleasure out of it. Summing up; if you are a tennis player or fan, I would recommend this game. Play it until you have reached the point I have, and then sell it on Amazon.com

This game is challenging and fun. It makes it seem so real. Only down side to the game is that the players are made up it would have been cool to have like Andy Roddick, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, etc.

This review is from: Tennis Masters Series 2003 - Battle Ground of Champions (Video Game)

I had much better expectations about this game. What frustrates me the most is the footspeed of the players. They move like snails. I couldn't stay in a rally for more than few seconds. This took away most of the enjoyment from the game The only way I could win points is by going to the net. Also, serving is simply ridiculous. Hard, well placed serves were the return winners for my opponent. Slow shots in the middle of the serving box were aces.
