Android games have made a significant name for themselves.. Whether you're on tour, travelling or basically just bored at office and need to relax a bit - android gaming is the way to go. Just unlock the front screen, go to menu > switch on the game. It's as simple as that. Easy to install, easy to play. Android games have a bright future ahead, considering the huge number of users of this technology.
Sega, a well respected company for computer games, stepped into the android zone with it's already established gaming franchise for computer i.e. Virtua Tennis. Been a already reliable source of gaming for it's customers, the hope from the android users was high and let me frankly say, they haven't disappointed.
On Google Play, Virtua Tennis Challenge costs around 305 rupees, which isn't a lot. Fairly priced and belonging to a very respected gaming franchise, the hopes were ought to be very high from me.
The only drawback of the game is that, unlike the PC version, the players aren't licensed, hence you play to play against virtually created players.
Features of the game : You can play the exhibition matches and if you win, you earn 200 gaming points, these points are extremely vital in the "SPT tour" feature of the game. In this, you have to create a new player and take him to the glory of world tennis. You start from ATP rank 50 and from there, winning matches will earn you money - which will help you in joining tournaments, you earn money by winning the tournaments and along side this, your ranking keeps on increasing. As per the value of the tournament, the gaming mode changes. Easy, normal and hard are the 3 levels.
In the exhibition matches mode, you can also play "doubles", which I've personally found better/more enjoyable than singles but that depends on a particular user but this certainly shows the variety in the game. Along side this, Sega just like the PC version of this game, provides you with 2 camera angles - either you can go with tv mode or dynamic camera angles. This can easily be changed by going to settings in the game.
You can play multiplayer with your friends via bluetooth, I haven't tried it but it does sound very interesting. If you're new to the game/franchise and have no idea what's going on, you can try the training mode which will easily make you understand how the game works. You play against a player, you're given a challenge and if you succeed, you're rewarded with 200 gaming points, again very helpful in SPT Tour feature of the game.
The gameplay is fantastic! Don't worry, I'm not exaggerating. For a android tennis game, the gameplay is very realistic. Backhand, smash, top spin - are certain shots you can play in the game. The voices are very realistic and enhance the whole game.
There are variety of stadiums in the game. Grass court, clay court and in total, there are 18 courts to select from/play on. The courts/stadiums are very realistic and for the first BIG Game of tennis on android, this is some impeccable graphics from Sega, who have set the standard very high for the upcoming tennis games on android.
My verdict :- Go for this game. If you're a tennis enthusiast, on android, right now there's no other better alternative and even if there were, you just cannot miss this experience. The game doesn't cost much and is worth trying.
I hope you find this review helpful. Do let me know your experience with the game.. :)
