All star tennis 99

Review by : Crazy Review

Format : Playstation

Type : Tennis sim

Players : 1 - 4

Novotna, Martinez, Chang and Krajicek. Yes they're all stars but they're not exactly Sampras, Henman or Hingis. All star tennis gives you a decent thwack of racquet on ball but, like its stars, it's hardly inspirational on-court. This is tennis by numbers, draw your opponent wide, and then attempt a cross-court. The button response time is none too quick either so creating top volleys or dainty drop-shots is tricky. It does try and liven things up by adding a bomb tennis mode where the player serves, er, bombs and a smash tennis mode that adds in supa-dupa shots, but on the whole I'd much rather be playing the real thing and not this rather poor imitation. Technically well-grounded, All star tennis lacks charisma and atmosphere.
