Nobody's mentioned this game and it comes out today. Anyone plan on picking it up? I've never tried the Smash Court series but have heard good things about it and it's only $40.

Hoping it will ship out from Gamefly today. I loved #2 on the
PS2, and hope this builds on it. Especially after not liking Top
Spin 3 one bit.

Didn't like TS3? My favorite tennis game ever.
I was also one that played a lot of Smashcourt 2 and liked it quite a bit. |

I have become a game curmudgeon and have no patience for what I perceive to be sluggish controls and long learning curves.

Like Ted, this is the best tennis game I have ever played and I have played all of them.
Here is an 11 minute video of the game. Something about it just does not look right to me. Will throw it on gamefly though. They have actually gone away from the full bore simulation of tennis. The Smash Court series used to be the closest thing to what we saw on the court. |

Oh and from the IGN review
As I said, SCT3 tries to simulate tennis with the standard various shot types (top spin, flat, slice, lob), requiring players to time the release of their shot with the swing of the racquet. It's similar to the realistic mechanic employed by Top Spin 3, but doesn't produce the same quality results. Me thinks Slumber will be returning this one quickly. |

Whoa! Thanks for the heads up on that review... it probably would have shipped out tomorrow!
That's two games I had in my queue that I've jettisoned from bad pre-release buzz... the other being Too Human. I wish they'd just send me freaking Nascar so I could try racing with you guys and put my wheel to use. But sometime's it's impossible to get games from GF if it's not brand new and you had it in your queue. |

Oh man, Seth, I didn't know you wanted to race with us. I hope you can get a hold of Nascar in the near future.
Bummer about SCT3. Did you try TS3 and not like it or just not try it based upon some bad press around the controls? |
