International Tennis Pro Demo

Tennis is not very easy sport to get into, mostly because it requires quite the budget in order to begin training and acquiring all the necessary equipment. However, once you get good at it and start making a name for yourself, money quickly starts coming your way, since the competitions feature pretty high prizes, even at lower prestige levels.

International Tennis Pro is a simulator that allows you to experience the joy of the sport from the comfort of your own home and without having to spend a lot of money in the process. It also enables you to create a character from scratch and give it your attributes, in order to simulate your ascension in the world of tennis and even manage to get a few trophies under your name in the career mode.

However, you can start a bit slower and compete in simpler challenges, or even take part in some quick matches to get familiar with the controls and the general mechanics of the game. Speaking of which, the game requires fast reflexes in order to be played properly at higher difficulty levels, but anyone can manage it just fine on the easier settings. In case you have played tennis in real life as well, you should be rather happy with the simulation, although it obviously cannot encompass all the elements that are part of the game.

Once you are done winning world tours and snatching various championship titles, you can match your skills against other people over the internet. It is also possible to take part in double matches, which means that up to four players can be on the screen at the same time and give it their best in order to win. Naturally, you must play against people of similar skill, otherwise you won't have too much fun losing all the time.

To increase realism, the game allows you to change between all the official surfaces, as well as compete in various locations around the world, depending on the competition you enter. Weather conditions also vary, as do the characters themselves and their equipment, which can also be bought when you get enough money and prestige. Graphically, the game does not exactly shine, but the 3D models do a good enough job not to be distracting.

International Tennis Pro has all the right elements in order to accurately portray the sport, although it could have used a bit more content, more courts and definitely a smoother graphics engine. Despite that, you can still have a lot of fun with the title and really work on improving your character's reputation.
