XBox, for those that don't know.
Can anyone tell me how to find this game fun?
I tried playing it last night, after reading all these great reviews about how it was the finest implementation of pong ever. Well, I put in over an hour of play time, and never had fun. There was a server coach who would take my money, and then award me skill points in serving, if I could serve and hit the targets. However, I can find no information on how aiming works to make my shots hit the targets, so I just kept taking craps and wiping my ass with the money. I know it has something to do with the left analog stick, but no details on how moving that stick actually affects play are available that I can find.
The tennis school available from the main menu is just a step shy of worthless. The manual doesn't provide enough information on how to play this particular implementation of tennis. There is no practice court, as far as I can tell, to let me practice hitting various serves or returns to see how they work and to try getting a feel for the game. It's just "Start playing, and scream in agony because you are TEH STUPID!!1! for not being able to play already."
After my hour or so, I put the stupid game away, cursed myself for wasting money on it, and went back to playing Links, which is fun, and instructs the beginner on how to play.
