So the developer's name is Teyon and develop a game called Black Arms?? Hmmm sounds familiar...oh yeeeeah...Treyarch and Black Ops. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence right?
It's at this point where I can bring up the question...does the Wii have more or less horsepower than the Gamecube? It appears that graphics on the Gamecube could top this. What a joke. Is the Wii really that crappy that ALL the shooters have to be on rails? Gimme a break.
This game is an app for IPhone and IPad. It has gotten quite alot of good comments on the sites I've visited. I'm gonna go ahead and predict a surprising score of 7.
I applaud Nintendo for trying something different with the game. It didn't all work, but it is a nice addition to the franchise. I think Mario 64 is the best of the 3D games, but Sunshine and Galaxy are tied for 2nd.
If these are the developers that were responsible for Virtua Tennis 2009 (which I think they are), I don't want anything they have to offer. That was a lame excuse of a tennis game.
The battle mode alone is worth a 10/10. This game involves actual SKILL unlike the latter MK's which rely WAY too heavily on power up items and gimmicks. This game takes alot of time and patience to master, apparently something some of you aren't willing to put into this game.
Have Mario Kart in my SNES right now. BEST of the series, especially battle mode. Battle mode on the SNES takes true skill. Actually, the game requires more skill than all of the other games because it isn't so "Power-up item" oriented.
Sorry to bring this up again, but you are completely butchering tennis terminology in your review, and misusing the word "volley". A volley in tennis is when a player hits the ball before it bounces. You are attempting to use it in place of the terms "ground stroke", "rally", and "shot". First use should be- "ball does not get progressively faster with each SHOT" Second use should be "controlling the speed and direction of your SHOT" (Or you could use groundstroke) Third use should be "extended back and forth RALLIES"
Just thought I'd mention it (as I did for the Grand Slam Tennis review), so you can have a more professional sounding review.
TO THE REVIEWER: Please learn correct tennis terminology before writing a review!
-A "rally" is NOT called a "volley". A volley is when a player hits the ball out of the air without it bouncing, while a rally is the back and forth stroking of the ball between the opponents...the "point" if you will. I'll never understand why non-tennis players get this mixed up. They aren't even close to the same in meaning. -An "overhand" shot is called an "OVERHEAD"
i would hardly call plattchen a disappointment....it actually looks better than this game from what i can tell. but i'll prob buy it just to check it out.
