Dream Match Tennis

This Dull Yet accurate Tennis simulation costs around the same amount as a pint of malt liquor in central London. As such, it seems almost churlish to point out that the controls are sluggish and the presentation blander than a tax accountant's diary, not to mention that it only offers very basic exhibition and challenge modes. And it would just be rubbing salt in the wounds to mention that it's also rock hard, requiring Herculean levels of concentration just to keep the ball in play, let alone accomplish something as ambitious as a lob.

Despite all this it's not completely disastrous. Dream Match looks decent enough, and once you've got your head around the awkward interface, it's vaguely playable. It has absolutely nothing to recommend it over the likes of Sega's Virtua Tennis series, but for the cost of a bag of chips, who's complaining?
