****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I really liked Tennis on the NES and Mario's Tennis 
on the Virtual Boy, so I figured I'd like Tennis on the Game Boy, as well.  

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Tennis is a tennis game.  Suprise, surprise. It plays
pretty much like tennis.  It's a very simple tennis game that anyone will 
enjoy.  It's pretty good.

Liked: It's a well-done tennis game.

Hated: I like Mario's Tennis better.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Tennis has some pretty good graphics.  When you put it
in a Super Game Boy or a Game Boy Color, it automatically picks the correct
palette.  The green grass really looks nice.  It's very colorful. You're 
missing out if you don't play this game on a GBC.

Liked: Cool color graphics.

Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: The music in Tennis is pretty much just standard
video game music.  It doesn't really sound like tennis music.  Thesound fx
are okay.  The crowd fx are great.

Liked: Sound fx made by the crowd.

Hated: Sorry music.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: The control in Tennis is good, but your player
moves a little sluggishly.  The game design is okay, but I feel that this
game is over simplified.

Liked: Good controls.

Hated: Simplified too much. 

****************************************************************************

Improve: Make this game like Mario's Tennis.

RIYL: Mario's Tennis, Tennis (NES), Virtual Open Tennis (Saturn)

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Tennis is the best Game Boy tennis game that I've played. Of
course, it the only GB tennis game that I've played.  There are better tennis
games on other systems, so you might want to save your money for one of
those.  By the way, there's no Japanese text in this game, so you won't miss
anything if you get the import version.
