Has anybody played this? It looks very cool, considering you actually swing at the ball! Comments?

Here's a preview:
http://wii.ign.com/articles/706/706071p1.html
Apparently, the graphics are miles away from Topspin (2) or Virtua Tennis 3. The game play is bound to be unique though (with the swing factor). However, my thing is, if I want to actually swing, I go to the tennis court.... _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican

The Wii looks very cool, I would really like to try it. Great for sports video games. _________________ www.freewebs.com/tenniswallpapers by myself and x.doublea

Wii's graphics suck so hard. They don't even look remotely like 360 and PS3's. But hey the swing controls look cool. Top Spin 2 is good but its missing a lot a whole lot. But i recommend it though. _________________ Use your .

| Turns out it is already out here....I tried it out in a shop today. I like the idea, but I don't really like the game itself. The graphics were poor and the actual 'shots' weren't very realistic. All you had to do was move your arm a bit. There was not much relation to tennis. |

Apparently, the batteries on the controllers fly out when one swing them... apparently, in one case, it sent batteries flying into some guy's TV screen, and the screen cracked. _________________ "Satan is behind Illegal Immigration."- Don Larson, Utah County Republican

Also, don't the straps break when you swing too hard and the controller goes flying? _________________ www.freewebs.com/tenniswallpapers by myself and x.doublea
