This game kicks ass.

It looks awesome for DC standards, the gameplay is really solid, it has a super heavy SEGA vibe to it in its presentation and the music is cooking. If you like the rock tracks in Sonic Adventure, you'll like the music in this. Only knock on the game so far seems to be that the game uses real tennis players as characters (I would have liked some wacko characters like in Athlete Kings). Also, all of the characters in the game are male tennis players but they would change that in the sequel that I now obviously also have to buy.

Cleared Arcade Mode (on Easy), including beating Master

My thoughts:

Oh, this game feels FUN to play. Despite using real-life players, the game physics is actually completely arcade and is more fast-paced than Mario Tennis. Positioning is a bit more important as your character will stumble otherwise trying to reach far-away balls, and it's MUCh easier to hit a ball …

Positioning is a bit more important as your character will stumble otherwise trying to reach far-away balls, and it's MUCh easier to hit a ball out of bounds this way. I also really like the music that screams late 90's / early 2000's SEGA Arcade with the Sonic Adventure style cheesy guitar rifts.

Won't be playing World Tour on this game, as I plan to do it on a more recent Virtua Tennis title.
