Tennis Elbow 4

Best Tennis Game. Technically really the best tennis game you can play. Gives so much satisfaction and so much freedom in playing tennis in a video game, that it really does not have any competition in that regard. Other games may look prettier but after you played this one, all the others fall short.

Scratches the Tennis itch. A very good balance of realism & arcade, with ways to "move the needle" one way or the other if you want. I do recommend looking up some guides/the official manual for the game, as some of the player stats, World Tour mechanics, and control/difficulty settings can be a bit unintuitive, especially if you're not familiar with tennis games/the Tennis Elbow series. But a very helpful community, and responsive developer, make it fairly easy to get answers to any questions you may have. Graphics aren't top notch by any means but they are passable. Sound design is pretty generic with some crowd sound effects and a basic commentator, which I opt to turn off as he can be kind of tilting (limited selection of lines so repeats things often, and reacts negatively to bad plays). Music is off during gameplay and menu music is a bit of a throwaway. But the meat & potatoes of any sports game is the actual gameplay, and this is where Tennis Elbow excels. I admit I have not tried multiplayer but I haven't seen too many complaints about the networking quality, and there are even tournaments hosted on the official forums if you're into that. But the AI are quite good and the difficulty settings are VERY granular. The game allows you to tailor everything from the control scheme (Arcade, Sim, or "Expert"), UI assists (aiming reticules, ball trajectory indicator, & even an assist for where you should stand to hit the ball accurately), and the AI difficulty exactly how you prefer. Lower AI difficulties also handicap the AI character stats, while the highest difficulty actually boosts them. Character stats are important and "building" a good character to suit your playstyle is a big part of the fun. If you play tennis IRL, or in another game, you already know how you play but learning what stats are useful to you can be a bit of a learning curve. Luckily you can save multiple characters and swap between them in the Training Club, which I recommend doing until you've settled on a "build"/character you like, before jumping into World Tour. I made the mistake of starting a WT right off the bat and making adjustments to characters in that mode is not as easy (points can't be taken away, only added, and certain things like Talents and the Special Ability are set in stone/cannot be altered after you start). Overall, can't recommend enough if you're looking for a "grounded" Tennis game on PC! Mario Strikers this isn't, of course.

le jeu est bien, vraiment un très bon jeu de tennis, les sensations sont là (malgré quelques coups bizarres de temps en temps mais c'est pardonnable) en revanche, est-ce que c'est un bug chez moi où la barre d'endurance de l'adversaire ne sert à rien ? non parce que quand sa barre "souffle" est à zéro (et même parfois la barre "énergie" quand le match est très long) et qu'il continue de courir comme un lapin et d'envoyer des missiles sur tous les coups, ce n'est pas normal. il n'y a vraiment aucune différence de gameplay peu importe si cette barre est remplie ou vide mais j'insiste pour dire que globalement, c'est un très bon jeu et j'y joue avec beaucoup de plaisir

This game is exceptionally well made and full of content. Just be aware that the learning curve is steep, especially if you're a casual player. Still, that's the price you pay for gameplay that's this deep and satisfying.
