Everybody's Tennis....
It's Game On....
After the mild disappointment that was virtua tennis 3 they needed a tennis ball right between the eyes to snap us out of our lethargy. Still, when everybody's tennis turned up no one really gave it a second serve .... until orgasmic monica seles-esque screams emanating from the gaming cage convinced us otherwise. Don't get me wrong; vitua tennis 3 is a great game but for all lunchtime sessions we've enjoyed, sega's arcade classic is something of a one-trick pony. Yet rather than copy the game's mechanic of priming your shots before clouting the ball as early as possible, everybody's tennis instead relies on delicate timing. An intuitive set of icons above your players' heads provides you with the instant feedback as to whether you're hitting too early, too late or more cleanly rafael nadal.
Single play is a rich experience, since the game forces you to master a range of players and tactics. For instance, if you favour serve and volley but your approach play is sloppy, you'll be picked off by stellar baseliners. Similarly, let a decent volleyer anywhere near the net and you'll be picked off like a crusty scab. The they're the specialist servers: deceptive little buggers who can bend the ball like a boomerang and will fill your swear jar in no time! learning to adapt your tactics, walloping all-comers and moving up the rankings is incredibly satisfying.
There's not a particularly rich roster of shots - hard return, slice and lob is your lot - but when you're 'in the zone' this is great fun. Evocative of those SNES classics super tennis and smash court tennis, which were sadistically tricky at first until elbow grease and tears meant you picked up the nuances, everybody's tennis is the unsung hero of tennis games. Virtua tennis 3 and top spin 2 look out, there's new champ in town...
