It’s hard to make a really good sports game. Without even playing the game for the first time, you already have expectations on how it should work, and what it should look like; and since you already know the rules, there isn’t that joy of learning and exploring a new game. So to make a tennis game that’s original and enjoyable is no easy task but Gamerizon makes a valiant attempt.
The characters in the game are very cartoony looking—reminding me more of a mii on a wii than a serious tennis game. This helps though, especially on the iphone’s (relatively) small screen, because it’s easier to keep track of the 3 most important things in tennis–yourself, your opponent, and the ball.
The controls for Chop Chop Tennis are pretty easy—tap with the ball in the air to server, swipe just after the ball bounces to hit it back. Using these two gestures, you can be an “ok” player. To truly master the game though, you’ll need to master the more advanced hits such as slice and spin. Because the gestures for each move are fairly intuitive, using the advanced gestures makes the game more interesting.
The various modes (practice, game, single, doubles, etc) also help keep the game fresh and exciting.
All in all, Chop Chop Tennis manages to be an entertaining and light hearted game. Not well suited for the true tennis enthusiast, but great for causual gamers looking for some time on the (virtual) courts.
Quick Take
Value:Medium to Medium High --it's got a niche, but it is the tenis games for the future
Would I Buy Again:Doubtful; but i'm not a sports fan.
Learning Curve:Low--and the tuturials along the way hep to keep track of everything.
Who Is It For:Tennis players and causual gamers
What I Like:Easy to Use and looks nice
What I Don't Like:I had trouble getting the hang of when to swing to hit the ball. After a little practice I got it though.
Final Statement:It's a good game if you don't want anything too serious or intense.
