3.0 out of 5 stars A descent game.....but....., October 2, 2002

This game is descent, although it is not great. One of my biggest disappointents with the game is the absence of stars such as Venus Williams, Anna Kornikova, and Amelie Mauresmo to name a few. Most of the current top 10 players are included in this game except for the three I mentioned. The fact that they have Shinobu Asagoe in the game instead of Venus Williams and Anna Kornikova, is a mystery to me. The graphics in the game are pretty good. The players look like their real life counterparts. They even make the same sounds the real players make on the court such as Monica Seles's grunting. My biggest disappointment with this game is the controls. In order to hit a powerful shot, you need to hit the A button 2x. However, if you mistime this, you will end up hitting a week lobbing shot that the computer will smash out of the air. Also, it seems like this game is nothing but moon balls. It's really hard to get into a hard hitting rally because either you or the computer will miss their timing and hit a weak lobing shot. I wish the controls in the game where customizable, but they are not. You can either set your controller up as Beginner, where the computer decides the shot to hit when you press the A button (which is usually a lobbing shot), or you can set it to expert where you control the shot. Overall, I like this game, but it is difficult get into a power game because the controls are so weird. I also wish they had included an Indoor court so you can really get the real feel of playing on all 4 major surfaces. Also, I think they should have included more than just 20 players. Having 64 would have been nicer. Or even better, how about having former stars such as Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, and Steffi Graf in the game. It would have been nice to see Serena Williams play Chris Evert for instance. I hope they put out a better version next year and improve on this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game... could be better., November 12, 2002

Great game. Very well done. Controls are a bit overwhelming, almost annoying at first. Makes you want to throw the whole thing out the window. Once you get used to them however, the game is a lot of fun!
Aesthetically, the lighting is a bit weak. But this is very unimportant compared to the nicely and acceptably realistic animation that's unique to each player and style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Try, April 13, 2003

This game is like the term paper you wrote your freshman year of college the night before it was due. It has some good ideas, but needs some serious refining and development. The controls, graphics, sound, options, etc. are pretty good, "BUT--" and you find yourself saying that over and over about every aspect of this game. Overall, a good game for the casual gamer or tennis enthusiast, and one of the best tennis video games thus far, but I'm still waiting for the "essential" tennis game. I gave it an extra star on the ratings because I AM a tennis fan and player, and was having fun with Sega tennis at video arcades in 1985(did I just say that?), and this game was far beyond that dinosaur. For the serious gamer, especially the serious sports gamer, this game gets a 2.0 to 3.0 overall rating.
