Reception

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms except the Xbox 360 version, which received "generally favorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3][4][5][6] In Japan, where the latter console version was ported for release on August 3, 2006, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40, while Famitsu Xbox 360 gave it a score of all four sevens for a total of 28 out of 40.[9] Nintendo Power gave the DS version a mixed review, about two months before it was released.[27] Edge gave the Xbox 360 version eight out of ten and said, "Developer PAM has reinvented a game that no longer strives to be a thinking man's alternative to Virtua [Tennis], but something altogether superior."[31] However, Computer Games Magazine gave the same console version three out of five and called it "the most complete tennis experience on any platform to date.[32]
