  I found this game to be one of the most annoying games I have ever played. There are a number of problems with the game that could of been easily solved if the developers could be bothered. First, the camara angle will drive you completely crazy. The default camara will show you the court from what it looks like on TV but when you change ends you end up with your player all the way at the back of the court, which makes the game suprisingly difficult to control. You will end up using a different camara angle which is only a small improvement since the ball can be difficult to spot.
  
  Secondly, the AI is really, really annoying. Not difficult annoying but repetative annoying. At first you will end up being beaten by the same shot over and over again until you start to use cheap shots like using the lobs and side spins to win. Finnally, the gameplay is akward, since if u press a button for a fraction too long or move the stick a fraction to much to the left it will almost certainly go out.
  
  The graphics and sound wont blow you away, but are fairly decent and the menu presentation is done fairly well and simple enough to navigate. In the end this game promised to be as close to tennis as you can get and fails mainly due to the cheap gameplay and annoying AI, also I wouldn't bother with Xbox live games since its full of players using cheesey gameplay.   5 out of 6 people found this review helpful
