i assume it owns because sega sports titles are the best.
-
wait for the 360 demo (what's taking them so long anyway?) or play the ps3 demo if you can.
-
yeah the lack of 360 demo is gay
-
same for condemned 2.
year of the ps3 continues.
-
it's pretty much a watered down version of virtua tennis with fan service and "SUPERSTAR" abilities. so basically, the more you rally, you build up your superstar meter. once it's full you can unleash a special shot that throws off your opponent. it's not guaranteed that you'll score because it only lasts for about 5 seconds or so. the graphics are really nice, especially the re-created stages from sega games of old.
the gameplay feels a bit floaty. then again, i was using beat who is one of the faster characters in the game. all the characters have different stats so your experience may vary. the amount of gameplay modes is pretty shitty imo. the mini games so far aren't as fun as virtua tennis 3's and they don't do anything to enhance your character (afaik). so far it's a pretty average game that they watered down for the "casuals."
blame wii fit.

I got the same impressions from the ps3 demo. It's a bit too floaty.
-
as a hardcore sega fan, superstar tennis made me realise just how much of a shit company sega is

Perfectly sums it up. The graphics and music are decent, though (for fan service).
-
yea the music is nice. and shibuya is :o
next-gen JSRF, make it happen sega!
-
would prefer next gen JSR with motion tagging and time limits with JSRF's huge level layout
-
I will buy it since I am a tragic Sega fan
-
I will buy it since I am a tragic Sega fan
:bow
-
i'm going to buy it anyways, just not now
-
Definitely worth a purchase if you're a Virtua Tennis fan.
-
Anything with Ulala, JSR and Samba in it must be brilliant. :bow2
If only I could play Ryo + Fuku-san or Nozomi v. Lan Di and his goblin friend at the docks.:heartbeat Sega
-
yeah uh the lack of ryo + lan di is fucking stupid :(
-
I need to try the PS3 demo. Too many negative comments about the game play have turned me off to just buying the game outright; I expected Virtua Tennis with a Sega fan-service skin, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
-
I didn't know there were enough Sega fans to make money off fan service :'(
I played the demo and thought it was pretty bad, but the thought of playing tennis in the Outrun2 stage with Fat Flag Man ref'ing is kinda hot
-
I don't even care if the tennis is as shitty as Wii Sports. A game that combines Outrun, Samba, JSR and Space Channel 5 cannot be bad in my eyes.
-
what pilon said

HOLY FUCK THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER*
Right now I am playing as BEAT versus AMIGO on a SPACE CHANNEL 5 COURT with SPACE CHANNEL 5 MUSIC. MY MIND IS BLOWN.
The fly by of Shibuya before the JSR court is fucking phenomenal. Then on the JSR stage you have to spray tags, knock COMBO off the rail, or evade the police. So awesome, I need to play JSR more now.
You can choose your stage music at the start of each game. GREEN HILL ZONE <3
House of the Dead stage - Zombies end up with tennis racquet arms and THEY THROW THEM AT YOU. Brilliant.
The challenges on Sonic stages drop Sonic Powerups. SPEED BOOST~!
There's a motherfucking Golden Axe stage. It better be old school Golden Axe.
I got an achievement by hitting a Morolian with a ball.
WHO THE FUCK GAVE NIGHTS A GAY VOICE?
This is the best game* EVER.
* disclaimer - the game is not as good as Virtua Tennis, the characters are floaty and to do a lob you have to hit X then A. Seriously. Do not expect this to be a perfect game of tennis. Do expect this to be a perfect simulation of being a Sega fan. Minus Shenmue :'(
-
Do expect this to be a perfect simulation of being a Sega fan.
lol, so it's basically SHIT
-
Pretty much. Reminds you that Sega have awesome games that need new versions and they put them in a SHITTY TENNIS GAME.
It's still GOTY for me though.
-
fuck I just unlocked MAMBO BEAT
I need to play some Samba tomorrow.
-
Golden Axe and Puyo Pop stages use other game courts, but have new characters. I unlocked the Golden Axe Dwarf! GOTY
-
Just picked up the game. While I hate just about every Sega franchise, I love VT.
-
If you like VT but hate Sega you will probably loathe this. I eagerly await the Sega Superstar Tennis Fails Miserably #1 thread
-
Actually, I really dig it so far. Are there lots of unlockables?
-
There's some really good ones - but mainly music and characters/stages
-
Haha, I'll be at this game for a while. It's as playable as VT, except the AI seems a smidge easier, and some of the special abilities are really unbalanced.
I just unlocked the Golden Axe dwarf. I almost shit myself when I saw his awesome special.
Also, so far it seems like they did pick decent characters. Of course there are too many Sonic characters, but I guess that is to be expected.
-
Yep the AI is incredibly easy. Most of the time with a special shot if you hit a drop shot towards the edge of the court it goes off at 90 degrees and is unplayable.
There's too much Sonic. Even with the missions there's like 30 Sonic challenges but 2 Samba ones. However there's a truckload of JSR stuff.
OMG I just unlocked the Virtua Cop level. It's so fucking brilliant. JUSTICE SHOT~!
-
Also Demi should get this for achievements, it's basic. I've played 2 hours and I'm 42% through Superstar, once you've done that theres a few mini game ones then the rest are online I think.
-
Are any of the minigames bad or too difficult? So far, they all seem pretty decent.
-
I haven't found a bad one yet. At worst some of them are frustrating but only because you make a mistake or they take too long since they're so easy. The JSR perfect tag challenge is the best example, since you have to complete a tag without missing a shot.
-
It seems like even the worst challenges can be taken down with a few tries, at least so far. My only complaint is the kinda crappy framerate on the levels that include either reflections or more complicated lighting. Even on those levels, the game is very playable. Still, there should be none of that. This is not the Wii.
-
the space harrier levels are FUCKING SHIT AND MAKE ME HATE THIS GAME
fucking so random what you're targeting at
:piss Space Harrier :piss2
-
is Ryo Hazuki in this game?
-
Nope. :'(
-
Alex Kidd stage represents a huge leap in cheap AI. Fuck you Sega. :piss2

:piss Space Harrier :piss2
hey hey hey
space harrier is a pretty good game. what's wrong with the stages in sega tennis?
-
explains itself, doesn't it
-
Space Harrier = good
Space Harrier & Alex Kidd in Sega tennis = cheating cunt levels/characters and I have no desire to play this game anymore.
-
wow this game is fucking garbage, as usual
-
It's weird; I just got an R4 and tried the DS version...it seemed okay. Then I tried the Xbox 360 demo and couldn't stand it for more than 2 minutes.
-
the LEAST they could've done with this game was fucking re-skin VT3. the LEAST.
:heartbeat gamefly
-
I BEAT ALEX KIDD
THIS GAME RULES AGAIN
-
Finally finished Superstar mode. 100% complete in 6hrs, 610/1000 points, only 10 from online.
Highlights include:
- Outrun game over music playing after a match
- Outrun court with Passing Breeze & Magical Sound Shower & some remix from Coast to Coast
- Flag man
- Anything JSR/SC5 related
- After Burner court with cock rock
- Virtua Cop games are the best part
Lowlights include
- that cunt Alex Kidd
- Too much Sonic & co faggotry
- shitty hit detection on swings (or to be precise non-swings)
- not enough Samba
- no shenmue
-
Im definitely interested in this... if it had Shenmue it would be a must buy for me but as it stands now.... I'll wait until I see it on sale
I can play Outrun 2006 in the meantime lol
