Sega Sports Tennis

If any of you play Tennis Video games, I highly recommend Sega Sports Tennis for Playstation. It's not exactly the highest quality game, and its frighteningly easy to get to balls that you should miss, but the game can be very hard and works very much like a real tennis match. I find myself absorbed in it for hours at a time.

leftys_rock

i didnt get to see the full list of players that are on the game, does anybody know all of them are??

J-man

i can't remeber off the top of my head but here are the ones i remeber: nicole vadisova, andy roddick, roger federer, tim henman, venus willams

leftys_rock

Here is the picture of all the players:

J-man

i don't like how they have federer as a serve and volley. he should be all around game

x.doublea

Yes, here are some flaws about the player's styles:

Federer as serve and volley
Ferrero as all round
Haas as strong forehand (should be strong backhand)
Mauresmo with a TWO handed backhand!

leftys_rock

YIKES, mauremo with a two handed backhand!? eek....cant imagine her that way.....

x.doublea

Yes, that's pretty scary. It's also quite funny watching Hewitt rip the ball like a Safin or an Agassi.

leftys_rock

haha, yeah, i cant really see hewitt hitting a HARD ball.....and to bring this back to topspin a little bit, weren't their grips on the racquet a little weird?

J-man

i never really noticed the grips on topspin

leftys_rock

i was looking at federer's grip, and im like "god, federer would NEVER hold his racquet like that"....

x.doublea

Yes, I was like, "Leather?"

leftys_rock

their grips look especially bad when theyre serving....god, it looks like their racquet is going to fall out of their hand....

Davia

this game sonds neet. Never play sega befor

leftys_rock

i wish there were some good tennis games on gameboy, but it doesnt seem like it.....the graphics are pretty bad....

x.doublea

The only tennis game I can think of for Gameboy is the Agassi Generation series, which I don't like.

leftys_rock

topspin 2 is also coming out for gameboy, but the graphics are pretty bad.....

x.doublea

Yes, the XBOX 360 version is definitely the more superior of the two.

leftys_rock

of course....i wish i could get the xbox so that i could play.....

x.doublea

My brother got an XBOX 360 for his birthday....

J-man

lucky duck Laughing

but the XBOX 360 has had some problems that i have been dispointed about Sad

x.doublea

Yes, there's something like a 37% failure rate.

leftys_rock

yeah, wasnt there a glitch with the system so they had to stop production or something??

shampoo192

id probably get the XBOX only if there was a miracle on earth. the game sounds interesting tho, i wish i could "test run" it or something

leftys_rock

it comes out in april so weve got a month to wait...

I got the SEGA game for PSP and its kind of a bummer, there are some players that I had never heard of like Sarah Bailey and Carolina Relandini. I think they should have included more top 10 players like Serena and Agassi. The sounds are pretty cool though, you can listen to the sneakers squeak on hard courts and you can also hear players such as Venus and SHARAPOVA moan.

My brother has this game. I played it once and it was pretty good. However, I didn't find it too realistic, though.
