As I said earlier, I picked the game up, and spent the better part of this morning playing online with Omagnus. No noticeable lag, which is good considering he's across the pond from me.
The game itself is pretty much what I expect it to be. A "segafied" version of Virtua Tennis. Your move set is limited to your basic four, a topsin, a slice, and with two button combos that produce a drop shot and a high lob. There's also the optional smash for high hits, and the strength of your hit depends on button sensitivity, which I like. The Superstar State is hilariously campy and hard to counter in some cases, but it can be turned off in online play.
The game itself offers up a hilarious "TV Service" (it's damn well done though) that allows you to spectate games in progress and even highlights from completed games. If you go into it expecting to find something in depth as say, Top Spin and VT as far as game play is concerned, you either do not know what game you're buying or you're just stupid.
Overall it's a blast and a half, especially with a partner. I give it a B+. Only gripe so far is that Pudding's voice is terrible. No problem though since I'm just going to stick to playing as Amy from now on. She sounds so funny when she serves, swear to god.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
