Game Impressions Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel I guess someone will have to give it a try.... TOFTT I`m coming.
I have this on my 2nd phone the S2 and it is fantastic!!!!Swipe controls work amazing(Which I was surprised at),Highly recommend it!!
Lol, I read yesterday on pocket gamer how this was one of the top 10 android exclusive games. First day purchase for me!
I've played this on our HP TouchPad and it's a really good tennis game for tablets/smartphones, but I would much prefer the non-included virtual joystick option. I loved playing Real Tennis 2009 by Gameloft, but if this is anything like the Android version, you'll have to do a lot of swiping.
sanuku, can you tell me what the controls are like? is there a virtual joystick for moving and then swiping to hit the ball? are there muliple control options?

The game was I believe an Xperia Play exclusive - so until the game has been released we won't know how it translates on to touch screen. So for me not so much as an insta buy as a 'wait for peoples comments and reviews online buy'. Electrolite82 Well-Known Member Oct 18, 2009 223 0 16 Musician Belfast #17 Electrolite82, May 23, 2012 I have been using the "Swipe" controls for about a month now on my S2(As it has been available for a while on Android),I was gutted about it at 1st until I played it and it's a very good way to play on touchscreen,a lot more enjoyable than I thought,and it makes more sense!! heffdog116 Well-Known Member Oct 21, 2009 1,369 0 0 South Florida #18 heffdog116, May 23, 2012 THIS!! I used to be addicted to this game, but those minigames were half the fun. Are these included? Anybody know? kingofkings8183 Well-Known Member Sep 22, 2010 238 0 0 #19 kingofkings8183, May 23, 2012 I bought this game on my iPhone 4, and there are many options for traditional virtual joystick controls, not just swipe ones. I found the framerate to be slightly low though...but the game is still playable. Excellent tennis game. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,786 575 113 England #20 psj3809, May 23, 2012 Bought it already ? So youre in NZ ? So there are touch screen controls if you want to use them ? (Not just swipe) ?
