So, I am not reccommending this game simply due to the learning curve for beginners. It's a well put together game, certainly has a lot of positives, and has decent visuals. I never played tennis, and the games I used to play on console's are not full tennis games (like Mario Tennis, Wii Sports tennis, and the like). This is a really nice mixture of simulation and arcade, but I always start at the lowest difficulty and I could barely get 1 point (15 in tennis terms). Again, lowest difficulty and still could get passed 30. This is a similar reason I left other games, namely Madden NFL which is a game that loves teleporting the defenders to intercept/swat the ball (Madden 18 has improved a lot since the terrible games they put out since Madden 11). I have basic knowledge on tennis, I should be able to win matches/sets etc. but for some reason you really can't. You can all safely get the demo to try it out before purchasing, (I didn't see there was a demo until after I bought). BUT!!!! My personal reasons are not a reflection of the work put into this game. The creation is very extensive and unique, to the point of making stadiums, clothing, rackets, and characters. The gameplay and animations are decent looking and run smoothly enough, and the port as a whole is decent. If it wasn't for the sheer amount of customization and visuals I'd actually say, against everything, this game is not worth 50 bucks. All things considered I still think 50 is stretching it, but it fits it's price tag 1,000 times better than No Man's Sky does (yes they have fixed a lot in that game, still not worth the price though). So all in all, this gets a 59/100 from me, mainly due to the infuriating AI difficulty leveling at the lowest difficulty.
