3.0 out of 5 stars Kinect performance could have been better May 25, 2011

Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

I purchased this one since it has a kinect game mode. It is not perfect in kinect mode as i expected. Sometimes it recognizes your timing and speed very well, sometimes it does not even if you do exactly the same as before. It is a good start. I have not tested the game in regular mode yet.

I bought this game thinking it could be great to play a world tour using Kinect, but you can not use Kinect for games other tna exhibition games or mini games.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very virtual February 9, 2013

Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   

I thought I would be able to use the Kinect with this, but not all of the features are available when you opt to use the Kinect. The game is mainly for use with the controller, but the instructions really don't specify that. I wanted more movement and realistic tennis playing with this game. Not likely to to keep this game at all.
