Aim for the Ace! for SFC
Review #2003
Aim for the Ace!
Keep your eye on the ball
Gameplay
This game offers two views - a behind the shoulder perspective and a standard top-down view. I hate the first view because the scaling isn't good enough to accurately tell you how close the ball is to you. This causes a ton of swings and misses. Also, the camera tracks the ball so closely that it's nauseating. Maybe it would improve with practice, but I found this game to be extremely difficult to play.
The top down view looks more playable but the controls are incredibly floaty. Your character slides for half a second after releasing the dpad and so sounds up all over the court. It may look better but actually controls worse than the behind the shoulder view.
Level Design
No way to select the number of sets, the court type, or anything. You can only pick the mode l: Exhibition, Scenario, or Multi and then the match starts. Scenario is a Japanese high school story mode with a bunch of dialogue between matches.
Theme
This must be based on a tennis-themed anime or manga. Not my cup of tea.
Art Style
The visuals are impressive, but again sort of nauseating in motion.
Audio
Nice fanfares and menu music. Also the voices that announce the score are fun, of a little bit French.
