I believe we are allowed to mention Game?

Soulja · 4 Apr 2006 at 20:52

ahh yes, i wish gameplay had sent mine today

guess i'll have to wait till thursday for this

roboffer · 5 Apr 2006 at 12:45

Quite simply, this better be good.

Its the game that Ive been waiting for most since I got my 360, apart from Rallisport Challenge should they ever decide to make another sequel. PRe-ordered from Gameplay, and am frantically checking my emails to see when it gets dispatched.

Not planning on getting this, didn't think much of the first one. Always felt it played oddly, could never put my finger on why though.

Combined with the early comments make it look like it will one to pick up second hand when I've nothing else to play.

Sod it, I'll be buying this tomorrow. I need a new game!

Going to grab this afterwork, I always just play this as a two player with my mates so Live mode sounds like it could be fun, will let you know what I think later.

Soulja · 6 Apr 2006 at 14:43

Just about to try this out

thanks to gameplay

I'd be interested in the opinions of anyone who's got this who also had the first one. I do enjoy a good tennis game but the review hasn't filled me with lots of hope.

Me too, I had high hopes for this one, TopSpin 1 was a great post pub game/argument creator

just had a quick go on exhibition mode and i must admit i like it, the graphics are nice, and the attitude is a good touch(if the ball goes out you can show your player getting mardy

) the controls are easy to get to grips with but the risk shot are quite hard to do

the bar moves to quickly

Will get changed and fire it up

Changed? You don't need to wear tennis gear to play it you know?

Shhh, he wears leather gloves and crash helmet when playing Burnout Revenge online

roboffer · 6 Apr 2006 at 18:02

First impressions are good from me, Im getting changed too and gonna play some more

Really well presented is the first thing I noticed, will report back later. Achievements look striaght forward at first glance, got the first one with a quick win under my belt too

Cheeky Beggars!!!

Well..... first thoughts....

It's harder than I thought it would be.....
Can be frustrating playing at the further end of the court.
Xbox Live! play works well, no lag/glitches
Graphics look smooth and crisp.
Not many players, I think there is 12 male and 12 female etc.
The RISK shots are hard to achieve consistently, apart from the serve thats not too bad.

Well, I'd guess they're called 'RISK' for a reason

Also, 12 male and 12 female sounds like quite a lot...
