If you want a game to fill a day or so while it is miserable outside, and enjoy the company of your friends, or keep the teenagers busy (quietly) then this is a very good option.
Serve & Volley can help in learning the game of tennis, it also is fast so you have to keep on the ball. Definitely a game for deft fingers and good eye/hand co-ordination although for those who are slower the game can be played quiet successfully using two hands and keeping an eye on the "thermometer" bar.
The graphics are pretty good and the figures are cute. there are lots of options for playing all sorts of games, easy, medium or hard, you can select how many matches you want to play. You can have hard, grass or clay courts, and you can play country club, seaside or centre court. so all round you can play as a rank beginner or a professional.
You can choose one of ten seeded players or you can enter your own players. There are all sorts of statistics on the various players and your created players also earn their statistics by how you play.
There is a small screen for each player on which are two grey columns, one is the performance bar and the other is the difficulty bar. Next to them there is a "close-up Strobe-O-Stroke" view. Scoring is done automatically.
If you like a game of concentration, competition and thorough enjoyment then this is for you!
On a scale of 1 to 10 this is a good 8 to 9. Lots of fun.
