Publisher: Sega
Year: 1994
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Horrible hit detection. Hard to guage how close you are to the ball and whether or not you can hit it. Ball seems to bounce too low to hit sometimes. Three buttons - C for hard hit, B for soft, A for loft Hard hits are insanely fast. Better have excellent reflexes. There's lag in movement and swings.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Modes include exhibition, tournament, ATP tour event, and full ATP tour. Config settings include setting the game speed
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Lovely presentation. I don't know who any of these players are but maybe it's a licensed list of real people. It kind of looks that way. Each player has a mugshot and voice samples saying their name. Lots of nice touches like a little fanfar that plays between games, sets, and matches. Good stuff.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Lovely, well drawn sprites. They're tall and lean. Court is right-sized and looks very similar to Smash Tennis or Super Tennis on SNES. Scrolls horizontally or vertically as needed.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Raspy sounds and music. Yuck
Overall Score: 38
