Very fun and fairly simple. Realistic, yet arcadey.

Hot Shots Tennis' original Japanese title is Everybody's Tennis, and it shows. Made by Clap Hanz, the game is easy to pick up and play, but has enough depth so that it won't tire terribly soon. Unlike most modern tennis games (Virtua Tennis, Mario Tennis), HST's shot system focuses on timed button presses instead of charged shots. This can be more realistic and allowing of greater shot placement, but it can be odd that moving to the ball is no different than waiting for it. The visual style is similar to the Hot Shots Golf series, with cute anime-style semi-realistic characters of many flavors. Hot Shots Tennis has a Challenge Mode (10-15 hours to complete) and a multiplayer mode (offline only). The game can be easy for tennis veterans, but tough or medium for newcomers, though there are no official difficulty settings. In multiplayer mode, handicaps can be used so that friends can play together, skilled and unskilled players alike. I would recommend Hot Shots Tennis to tennis fans, young children, and arcade-minded gamers. If, however, you are looking for an in-depth tennis simulator, perhaps you should stay away.
