Tennis Elbow 2006

Moby ID: 27281

Description

Tennis Elbow 2006 allows players to compete in a World Tour of 125 events against 300 players. Both the entry and Champions' Race ranking systems are incorporated - the former covering the last 52 weeks and the latter being fixed over a single calendar year.

Single matches can be two against one, as well as the more conventional singles and doubles. Network and internet play is offered. There are seven distinct court types - clay, grass, hard, blue-green hard, synthetic, indoor hard and indoor synthetic. Action replays can be viewed in slow motion, fast speed, and rewound.

Players can be defined as volleyers, defenders, punchers or varied, with definable kit colours and playing abilities. As you play the game, your player’s ability improves - by more if your lose. Assign these points for faster and more accurate serves as well as faster running and bigger jumps.

The action is viewed from a 3rd-person angle, and side changes are optional. Two buttons are used in combination with directional presses to make slices, 3 different types of lob, and subtle drop shots.

Feels like a relic from several years earlier.

The Good
The career mode has a good structure - including both the Entry List and Champions' Race shows that the programmers are tennis fans. VCR-style replays and multiple court types are included.

The Bad
Any benefits in terms of features are undone by the poor gameplay. Controls are far too skiddy. Hitting a shot in any direction other than straight ahead is too difficult. On occasion you can hit shots while the racket appears to be nowhere near the ball.

Additionally, the graphics are purely functional, with no chalk dust effect and no clothes motion. The menu music is typically irritating.

The Bottom Line
A shareware tennis game which can't compete due to awkward controls.
