Tennis masters series 2012 game

Whatever the reason, though, this superb Tennis sim has fallen from the grace of the full-price shelves and into the the depths of the bargain bucket in less than five months. Which is good for you if you don't already own it, as it's quite simply the most realistic PC tennis simulation to date. While it may lack the sheer entertainment value of Virtua Tennis], its spot on physics, superbly challenging Al and solid presentation make it a must buy for any sports fan. Sadly, there are no grass courts due to the restrictions of the Tennis Masters licence, but apart from this and the odd quirk, there's little to criticise.

Quality sports games are a rarity, so just make sure you don't pass this one by before it disappears from the bargain bins too. Here's an interesting one. Still you never know, it might work. On the one hand, it's a refreshing throw back to a more salubrious season, when over enthusiastic rich kids would queue overnight outside Wimbledon , before wiling away their skived-off-day, spending their hard earned inheritance on criminally overpriced strawberries and desperately hoping someone vaguely British would win a game.

On the other hand, Tennis Masters Series is a superb simulation, with unparalleled realism and detail, which portrays the sport in an entertaining and easily accessible way. Something few other PC tennis games have managed to achieve. The obvious comparisons are with Cryo's Holland Garros French Open and Open Tennis , the key difference being with the control interface.

Whereas Cryo's efforts aided you with the movement of your player, letting you concentrate on shot placement, Tennis Masters Series charges you with controlling both your player's movement and the execution of your next shot, which means copious amounts of desperate swiping at the ball like an epileptic trapped in a wasps nest until you get to grips with it.

PC Gamer. That's the beauty of Tennis Masters Series: beating it doesn't kill your desire to play it again. In fact, it may actually enhance it. Operation Sports. Computer Games Magazine. The game could have been stellar, but it falls flat in one critical area. You never, ever hit a ball out.
