What a game.
I never doubted it would be ? For me tennis games have become too pedestrian and this game validates that belief entirely. Fast, reflex led gaming at its best.
It?s a rockstar title so it goes without saying the presentation & attention to detail are superb. Anybody thinking the low price implies anything sub-standard is in for a big shock/surprise.
Graphically it?s very, very nice ? Just spectating a match is fun due to the excellent camera angles used, the way players clothes hang off them is the finest example I?ve ever seen, the ball physics are to die for. The only thing I?d say although I don?t think it detracts but rather adds ot the game is that sometimes it can be hard to pick out the trail colour on the ball (specifically green/yellow) but this is very much nit-picking.
The audio is also superb ? After your rally gets to about 15 music kicks in which must sound like it would get annoying but so far hasn?t and rather adds to the atmosphere. As a player gets close to winning the crowd will begin chanting their name ? it?s very, very well done.
I?m going to keep this short in keeping with the game ? For the single players there?s not too much in here but if you?ve got live you are in for an absolute treat ? whilst there were a couple of lag problems they were very few & far between and the timed tournament for 8 players is absolutely genius stuff. 8 of you start in the lobby and it pairs you all off so you all play simultaneously for a set period of time after which the players are all swapped around till everybody has played everybody round robin style. It?s like speed dating with ping pong
This game is a must buy. I?ll put a stake in the ground and say I think this is going to become the 360?s biggest seller to date and for a while to come.

It's ****ing fantastic - better than both those games IMO. Some might argue it lacks depth but that's bull****.
