Entry #1
SUMMARY
Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 is a 1-4 player tennis video game. You can play as, with, or against 16 real life tennis professionals which includes Andy Roddick and Serena Williams. You can either play singles or doubles with or against another player or the computer. You can also create your own pro tennis player and help your player achieve to be the # 1 tennis player in the world. The objective of this video game is the same as real life tennis, win the tennis match and the video game also has the same rules as real life tennis.
GAMEPLAY
Since I am a HUGE tennis fan and LOVE to play tennis, I find this video game really fun to play. When I play it, I feel the same emotions as if I were playing on a real life tennis court, the only difference is that I won't get physically tired. While playing the video game, I find myself making the same decisions I would make while playing real life tennis such as do I slice the ball or hit it harder or throw in a drop shot or serve the ball out wide or do I charge the net. Also, like in real life, you can construct points however it is much easier to do so in the video game than in real life. For instance, in the video game, you can easily force your opponent to approach the net and then have the opportunity to hit a passing shot.
One other aspect of the video game that I like is that I get a chance to play as one of my favorite tennis players such as Andy Roddick or Serena Williams. I also like the fact that the tennis courts in the video game are exactly modeled from the real life tennis court arenas such as the Rod Laver Arena at the Australian Open, the main court at the French Open, Centre Court at Wimbledon, and the Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open. With this video game, I also get a chance to live out my dream of playing a real life professional tennis tournament except it's actually virtual.
