Sampras Tennis 96
What a racket 96Genre: sports - tennis
Publisher: Sportsmaster
Year: 1995
System: MD PAL
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Plays a lot like the original. Good movement. Ball moves very slowly and dies when it bounces. Your hits aren't strong enough to get it past the opponent, except when the opponent is a donehead and doesn't get near the ball. It's as if they took the first game, where they always got to it, reduced their IQ by half, and called it a day. The first was impossible to score a point, and in this game the only way to score is by an unforced error by the opponent.
Level Design Score: 2

Exhibition, tournament, tour, and a Neo Geo-style video tutorial

Presented quite well. Menus are large, attractive, and
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Lovely graphics and sprites. However, the view is too low for my tastes which makes it hard to gauge distance. Still, this game looks attractive compared to many other tennis titles.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Same sounds as the first game. Really nice voice samples. The announcer has an enjoyable British accent and the grunts and hits all sound good.
Overall Score: 46
