These super moves require special rackets to be bought or earned, and a certain amount of normal shots to be played beforehand. Last but not least, magic animals can be called to perform so-called skill shots that can be played as a very dangerous offensive shot, or to reach previously unreachable defensive shots. This will leave him vulnerable for a tiny, but often deadly bit of time, though. On the other hand if a player is late in reaching a ball, his avatar will, if not too far away, perform an automatic save dive to return the ball. If a player anticipates the opponent's balls well, he can power up all his strokes by pressing the respective button longer than usual, thus firing a so-called charged shot over the net. This marker must be chased down in short time to enable the smash. The same goes for every performed smash: When the opposition fires a lob at the player, a target marker will appear where the lob is supposed to hit the court.
When hitting the sweet spot the player's avatar will perform a smash service that will leave the returner unconscious for a short amount of time.
The serving player can place his avatar everywhere on the allowed half of the base line and choose the direction and speed of the service by pressing left or right short or longer (direction), and by hitting the right spot at a fast moving power bar (power). Technically, the game engine simulates service hits, drive and slice, lob and smash, and volleys, where every hit but the service, naturally, can be played as either fore- or backhand.
As the name suggests, Fantasy Tennis is another screen adaption of the world-famous ball sport, but this time designed for multiple players around the world connecting over the Internet, and with all the bells and whistles added that can make RPG's and social networks so addictive.īasically, the core tennis gameplay takes place in differently-themed colorful courts which are shown in the typical TV perspective, and where the player's avatar always uses the lower half of the court to allow for better vision and gameplay.
