First Person Tennis World Tour Android Review

The Roland Garros tournament starts in a month, but today we will take the lead in presenting you this Tennis game for Android, which is distinguished by the ability to play in first-person (or "camera board "because I can not help but still everything to the car). 

First Person Tennis World Tour: everything is in the title. It is indeed a game of tennis, playable in first person, and offers relive tournaments ATP / WTA from around the world like the one mentioned above, but also Wimbledon or the Australian Open, US Open and the Rogers Cup, to name only the most famous.

"Well, I have a Little Miss hungry! "

The originality of this title, is to have a first-person view. So we end up truly immersed in the action, in the shoes of a tennis player, so much so that in almost open the closet to grab a sweet bar at the right heart to milk and hazelnut surrounded by a thin crispy wafer and coated in chocolate.

Although this view is quite nice to play (and the sun in the face when the service is part of the game) you can also choose one of the other two more traditional views "in the third person." A very close and that gives a little dizzy, and another further away, the more fun to play (although all three have good visibility).

"A little cake? "

Visually, though First Person Tennis World Tour does not break bricks LEGO, it must be recognized that for a game from a small team the result is fairly good. Sets and 3D players are mostly very good, as are the player animations when such services.

The sound effects are pretty well chosen and enhance the realism, as well as points vocally announced by the referee. We could only wish that the public is a little more alive, both visually and audibly. Small noises when public exchange drags and the pressure goes up, for example, that would have a small effect.

"A cookie? "

Do not m'dites this is my last paragraph? Indeed, we have not yet talked about things that annoy: maneuverability. The game still has much to improve in this area, as is not yet clear.

Two types of gameplay are available. The "classic" with a moving button (which also serves to target or give effect) and a fire button mode. And "slipped" mode, where here we start shooting in "cutting" the screen with his finger in the manner of a Paper Toss, while one moves on the court ... in the same way .

In both cases, it is difficult to understand the exact functioning of the fire and movement (which by the way, are very slow). A gauge fills to increase the power of the shot, but generally it does not change much. In fact, you can press "shoot" as soon as the opponent has just done, and your player will manage to return the ball. In other words, there is not necessarily any notion of "timing" in this game, and it's pretty confusing.

After the first very difficult games or probably take a beating, a trip to the training ground is needed to better understand the gameplay. And to my surprise, I finally managed to put the ball pretty much where I wanted. Therefore, back in "World Tour," I won my first duel, although fatigue sets in quickly. The only way to win is obviously to go to the net, we finally understand the "trick" and the game becomes redundant. Serve to advance a left jab, a shot to right, until the opponent breaks. And repeat.

Ultimately, First Person Tennis World Tour is known for its view in the first person, the rest of the game is all that is becoming standard in the field. With a more lively public modes funkiest game and especially improved handling (or better understood) it could be one of the best tennis games in 3D on Android. Dear developers, the ball (tennis) is in your court!
