Tennis Masters Series

Sport Game from Microids

Tennis game. It features a selection of fictitious players but the authentic courts of the ATP Tennis Masters Series are recreated. The characters are rated according to seven skills categories (strength, serve, quickness, endurance, volleying, forehand and backhand). You can change equipment and clothing. Game options are exhibition or doubles matches or full singles season. You can play against another player on the same machine and only in exhibition match mode. In season and exhibition modes you begin with a low seeding with the aim of building up your rating. In doubles play you can choose from four formations including the unusual 'i' formation.

The controls system involves choosing from four types serve and six shot types (topspin, chip, slice, smash and lob) and then timing the shot correctly. The speed of the game is realistic, making it slower than many similar games. The graphics are good. The game employs the NetImmerse engine. There is a good replay function.
