It may be a game genre thing, but there\u2019s consistently a lot of loving care given to the visuals for famous sporting personalities in games of this type, if on occasion at the expense of background audience fillers. The in-game copy of Roger Federer<\/a> looks just like the real version, but the background audience looks sort of life-less.<\/p>\n The game was pretty fun too with easily-manageable controls. The campaign for world-title is anything but. Punishing in fact. The computer controlled opponents you play against don\u2019t make mistakes and there\u2019s no room for any from you too. Run in the wrong direction, heck, even a few steps too far to return a shot, and expect your opponent to send his return immediately on the far side.<\/p>\n Ling played the game too, though after I beat her a few times when we played as opponents, she wanted only to play in the Doubles team LOL.<\/p>\n I think I won about 90% of the tournaments in the campaign before finally giving up. But that was a good several weeks, and the best part of it: I can finally make sense of the TV broadcasts now.:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Of the three boys growing up at Lentor in the 80s, I was the only one who didn\u2019t get into Tennis, which I think was the \u2018in\u2019 sport back then. Both my brothers did, but I preferred badminton. Maybe it<\/p>\n
