Andre Agassi Tennis (Sega Mega Drive / Genesis review)

Developer: Epyx, Halestorm
Publisher: TecMagik
Released: 1992

Andre Agassi Tennis is a sports title that was ported to the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System in 1993.

+ Skins Tournament mode has real promise, as instead of a fixed match prize it offers a variable purse for each shot.

- Requires exact positioning to hit the ball, but the players move so slowly that it's hard to line up with a cross court shot.

- Animation is light on frames and there's a noticeable delay for each sequence to activate in relation to your button presses.

- It's weirdly challenging to judge spatial distance between your player and an incoming ball, making every return a nightmare.

- Opponent A.I. is seemingly unfinished, as they can look like a world beater before forgetting to swing their racket.

- Crowd is eerily silent throughout each match and there's no difficulty options to tailor the game to your liking.

- Prior to each CPU serve the game randomly forces you to press the Start button, which is an unnecessary step!
