Outlaw Tennis

The Outlaw Tennis deliberately breaks the usual rules of decency. The classic hitting technique has not gone away - you still need to calculate the trajectory and press at the right time - but it has been supplemented by a set of wild modes that turn the idea of ​​a calm match upside down. The characters are chosen to match: instead of decorous athletes, colorful figures with their own jokes take to the court. The style is emphatically streetwise, sometimes vulgar, and that's the whole point - the game parodies a noble sport, and does not imitate it. There are also doubles matches and modes with changed rules, where the score is kept completely differently. The controls are customizable: you can help yourself in aiming or, conversely, complicate the task. There are enough courts and conditions so that the matches do not seem like repetitions of each other, and the opponents differ in the way they play - there is someone to oppose. It is also worth noting that the studio behind the game is the one that started the series with golf, so the humor here is not an accident, but a continuation of tradition. Characters tease each other, reactions to a successful shot are exaggerated, and the behavior of the crowd outside the court adds to the chaos. At the same time, the settings allow you to reduce the degree of jokes - a useful detail if you are not playing alone. There is also a warm-up before the match: a short hitting practice, after which tips on mechanics become clear. This is not a tennis simulator and does not pretend to be a sports classic. But as evening entertainment for the company, the Outlaw Tennis honestly does its job: short games, a lot of jokes and tangible joy from the fact that the enemy was left standing with his mouth open.
