Gameplay

The game has three modes: training, season, and exhibition. [2] The game is depicted from an over-the-shoulder viewpoint. [3] When creating a character, points can be spent to improve different shot types (backhand, smash, etc.), or decrease points in a shot type to spend them on another shot. [4] In the season mode, the player starts seeded 100 and earns money playing tournaments around the world that can be spent on improving shot types. [5] Before each match, two special abilities can be selected like diving or tweener. [4]

Reception

Amiga Action called the game "average" and said Pro Tennis Tour 2 is a better game. [4] Amiga Power liked the graphics but didn't like the "muddy controls". They called the game frustrating and "a tad dull". [5] Aktueller Software Markt called the game fast and extremely playable tennis sim. [6] The ST version was said to be not as fast as the PC version. [7] ST Format and CU Amiga said the game is better than Pro Tennis Tour or International 3D Tennis . [8] Amiga Mania called the game "thoroughly enjoyable". [9]
