19/05/2002 Tennis Addict has been released by Hexacto- I tried it last night and whilst the control system is unusual after about 15 minutes you will get used to it and it really get stuck in to the game- it is VERY addictive and damn good fun! Choose from 16 different opponents and four court types, each with their own unique characteristics and challenges. Play a quick game using the "Quick Match" option, or play an entire tournament where you have to climb your way to the top, match by match.
