Great Courts 2

STORY / GAMEPLAY
This sports game has you to participate in just about any type of tennis match you may desire. You can compete one Vs one against a human opponent or the computer or play doubles with a friend against two computer opponents. You can play on grass, clay, hard or indoor courts, serve, volley, smash, lob or even practice against a ball-serving machine.
The controls are quite tricky to handle at first but they soon become quite easy and bring hours of enjoyment, especially in two-players mode.
One of the game's greatest features is its option to enter the world's leading tournaments. Your computer simulates a normal tennis year, with you competing in all major events that make up the calendar and improving your character's abilities.
The gameplay is surely good, as long as you master your strikes and serves.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The game's visuals are fine without any special effects or numerous colors (they are up to 16 max), but the sprites are nicely drawn and animated and each court has enough details. What is really good is the sound department. The Amiga version includes a variety of sampled sound effects like the grunts of the athlete as you swing the racket, the bouncing of the ball off the ground, the announcer calling out the scores and more. The game also includes an introductory and a main menu music.
