Interesting
A Tennis game where you swing your Go controller to simulate the swing of a Tennis racket, complete with forehand and backhand top spin, slice and lob shots. Serving too. In fact you can even calibrate these shot types so the game can better recognize your intent by analyzing your technique. That said it seemed to do so just fine by default for me anyway. You get hit with an almost daunting array of configuration options in the beginning, along with some occasionally convoluted instructions and tutorials. And everything is a bit quirky. But as a Tennis simulator (albeit within quite the stylized context) it's actually quite impressive and involved. There's plenty of room here to grow into the complexities of the game mechanics to take things to the next level, but it's also easy enough for casual play too. And it's another example of a game that manages to punch a little above the weight of the platform's 3DOF limitations. One complaint though: while the rendering is decent overall, something needs to be done about the aliasing on the courts themselves. Too many jaggies and too much shimmering.
