During the first hour it seemed pretty average, but the more I played, the more I got into it. Solid tennis gameplay with plenty of Sega fan service to keep you hooked. Good graphics and some classic Sega themes. Voices and constant jingles were annoying. So were the endless ‘new stuff’ messages between missions and having to navigate too many menus to start the next mission. Too much bloat, basically. A-Ranked all the Superstar mode and unlocked all the mini games and characters. That’s enough for me. I may return in the future to enjoy some of the ball games like Puyo Puyo or Space Harrier, but the CPU matches were my least favourite aspect. Also, a disappointing lack of Phantasy Star Online.
