Introduction:
Super Tennis is one of the early SNES titles. This tennis game
is similiar to Tennis for Game Boy but has a lot more features and different
ways to play. I picked up this gam at my local Toys R Us for 97 cents, brand
new. It's basically an ordinary everyday tennis game. How exciting could it
get? Let's see...
Graphics [5/10]:
The Graphics in this game are very colorful but there's not
much you can do with a tennis game to make it flashy. The people in the game
look pretty much the same, only difference is the colors of there outfits,
hair, etc.
Music and Sound [4/10]:
There is no problem with the sound effects, except
for the same sound almost every hit. The music is awful, you'll think you're
getting a game with catchy tunes when your starting the game and selecting
your characters but during the game there is no music! Other sound effects
include a very bad announcer and the crowds which aren't bad.
Game Play [6/10]:
You don't have to like tennis to like this game. You have
to know the rules (which is in the guidebook) and you got to have a fast
thumb. The gameplay fun increases when you're playing with a freind. I found
it way more fun to play my brother than the computer. You can also play with
your freind on the same team in a doubles match. You can play Singles,
Doubles, or a tournament. And you also have a choice of 3 different court
types; lawn, concrete, and clay.
Challenge and Replay [5/10]:
This game is very difficult, perhaps too
dificult. I'm one to compare and may I tell you I like the Game Boy Tennis
way better even though it does not have all the special features. Since this
game is so difficult it does not have that much replay value. The only
reason I gave it a 5 on replay value is because of the multiplayer. If you
are having freinds over you may want to play this game but it's pretty
boring alone.
Conclusion/Overall [5/10]:
Mainly a multiplayer game. If you see this game
for a buck or two go ahead and buy it but I wouldn't trade Super Mario World
for it. If you're a big fan of tennis (I'm not) you may enjoy this game more
than me. It will take awhile to master the game but like I said, play it
with freinds.
