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. In Japan, 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. Nintendo Power gave the DS version a mixed review, about two months before it was released. 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". 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".
