Mac Games – reviews and game downloads

Smashing Tennis is a brand new game that the friendly folks at Mac games.org have just developed. It is a 2-D arcade style tennis game that lets you hit the court (Grass, Clay, and Regular!) and show off your tennis skills.

This game has a few different modes to choose from. There is the practice level (which I strongly recommend to get a hang of the game), Tournament and Two Player. The practice level is where I first started and took on my first opponent, the savage looking Travis. I fell behind in the early set, but as I became more comfortable with the controls, I quickly stormed back to beat my new rival. Unfortunately I was not able to make it to the tournament because I did not have the full version, but I can safely assume that more incredible tennis action awaits each and every round.

The interesting thing about Smashing Tennis is the two player mode. This is a fun way to play the game with a friend, and although you are kind of smashed in, it is a lot of fun. The graphics are kind of lacking, but it provides what you would expect from a 2D computer game. The controls work really well and are easy to use, once you get used to them. I had a good time playing this game, but most casual gamers (and gamers like Britney who only play match games) will probably not enjoy this game all that much. That being said, if you do like sports or tennis in general, Smashing Tennis is a fun way to get in the swing of things.
