I know this sounds crazy, but I've been playing this for six years and it still shreds my nerves. Dropshot, lob, topspin, slice, volley, serve, and movement differ wildly from character to character, with some having special techniques, so mastering them is a challenge and a blast. We're still finding new things out about the game, too, especially in the presentation, like tiny lizards scurrying in the backgrounds and rare barks spilling from the characters when they exert themselves. The single player game is limited, but the multiplayer mode is endlessly fun. This whimsical game feels so much better in your hands than the serious tennis games, like topspin, or world tour, which take themselves too seriously, look ugly, and feel clunky (don't get me wrong. I still played the hell out of some of them!) Everybody's tennis is a real joy to play, and it captures the true feeling of competing at and enjoying tennis in a way that the serious games don't (this is coming from a tennis club player). Cannot recommend it enough.
