Well, I haven't wrote a review in a while, so I though I could write one now. I'm going to review a game I've played a lot recently.
Tennis, on the NES. It was originally released in 1984 in Japan, and 1985 in USA/Europe.
I have a history with Tennis, and it's a sport I've come to love. Even though this wasn't the first Tennis game, it was the first Tennis game to really capture the overall feel of the sport. Now, let's step on the courts and review Tennis.
GRAPHICS, 8: Since this was a early NES title, the graphics aren't nearly as good as the later games on the system, but it's really good for 1984. On screen, there's the players, the net, the umpire sitting in that high chair and the crowd. The players look detailed on the court, and the umpire is Mario. The walls in the stadium say Nintendo on them. If a point, fault, or game/set/match has happened, a speech bubble will pop up next to the umpire saying those phrases. Overall the graphics get an eight, it's great for its time.
SOUND, 7: The title screen song is short and catchy. When the players hit the ball, there is a beep that plays. If there's a rally it'll go: *beep*, *boop*, *beep*, *boop*. When the umpire talks there will be about 4 quick beeps. Also, when a player wins a game or a set, a short jingle is played. There's not much when it comes to sound, but the title theme is cool, so it gets a 7.
ADDICTIVENESS, 8: This game is pretty fun, especially if the CPU keeps hitting. If you have 2 players, you can play doubles, and that can be very fun too. The only think you can do is play exhibition matches, but I'll give it an eight because I think it's fun.
Story: There is no story for this game.
DEPTH, 5: There's only to game modes. Singles, which is one player versus the CPU, and Doubles, which is two players vs two CPU's. That's all for the depth. I give it a five for the different difficulties.
DIFFICULTY, 5: There are five different difficulties. Levels 1 through 5. On level one, the CPU usually tends to miss about 80% of the balls.
On Level 5, the CPU hits nearly every ball that comes at them. The five difficulties provides easy levels for all skill levels, therefore it gets a five.
OVERALL, 8.5: The graphics, sound, and gameplay are very nice, there's a two player mode, and even different difficulty levels.
It's very enjoyable, and captures Tennis nicely. I give it overall, an eight and a half.
