Matchpoint - Tennis Championships Reviews
By simply providing a fun and fairly authentic game of tennis it manages to outshine its rivals. And because of that, whether you’re buying it to get stuck into its single-player career mode or take on all-comers in online multiplayer, chances are you won’t be disappointed.
Matchpoint – Tennis Championships is great if you want tennis, and nothing but tennis. It'll give you ample opportunity to play match after match, and it never bogs you down in the extraneous nonsense that seems to plague most sports games. But if you want to do literally anything more than that, you might find your attention wavers long before you come close to finishing your career.
Persistent issues with hitches in performance and merely middling play make this tennis sim come up short
The title as a whole is the definition of mediocrity. But the issue with the graphics is so alienating that it falls below even this bar

Matchpoint - Tennis Championships has all the makings of becoming a spectacular tennis game in a given time. Even though the AI lacks depth, the gameplay is still entertaining and captivating. It has the potential to be a much more captivating game in future updates or releases if all the issues are addressed to improve the overall experience. It's been years since we've had a tennis game that came this close to being recognized as potential. Perhaps the lack of effort on the overall delivery makes it seem like the game took a step backward. Torus Games and Kalypso Media still deserve much credit for giving fans the hope for a great tennis simulator.
Matchpoint - Tennis Championships is the most authentic tennis experience in modern gaming, and a game with great potential shouldn't go to waste. The game is on the right track. The gameplay is probably the best tennis experience you can get in a game. You enjoy vigorous matches and have the joy of the new ranking system based on how well you play.
Overall the game is a very lightweight package which shows that Matchpoint Tennis Championships isn’t a high budget tennis game. The animations and atmosphere in the tennis stadiums are well done. Hitting a shot feels satisfying. But, overall the game is too easy and one dimensional. There is a great tennis game in there somewhere, but the developers haven’t been able to capitalize on the opportunity. If you are craving to play a tennis game, try this one! If you’re fine playing something else, then there’s plenty of other sports games to try.
Matchpoint - Tennis Championships doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it may be the right game for fans of the genre looking for demanding control and a challenge to match.

Matchpoint - Tennis Championships is a simulation that goes through ups and downs. The graphics feel a bit dated and the ball physics doesn't feel fully convincing, but once you master the control system you'll get some decent satisfaction out of it. Too bad, also, for the lack of content both in terms of modes and prominent tennis players.

So while the current status of Matchpoint: Tennis Championships could use some smoothing out and a few extra features, such as character customizations and an ability to call for review, it’s still a decent Tennis game and I enjoyed my time with it.
Matchpoint Tennis Championship is a good tennis game that will delight the average fan, with very fun matches to play, both alone and in company, thanks to its local or online mode, however, and although it is presented to us as a professional tennis simulator, we already warn you that it is not the definitive tennis simulator, since it has many absences, such as the absence of the absence of doubles matches or the absence of great stars of the sport of the racket, in my opinion, big failures. They have achieved the most difficult part, which is to make a game easy and fun to play, although the rest of the aspects remain to be polished, especially at the graphic level.

It's a shame, but Matchpoint Tennis Championships just didn't quite get there on most aspects of its tennis simulation. A lack of licenced players and UI bugs only compound the core issues with the controls being far too simplistic and repetition setting in extremely quickly.
It might not exactly be a pretty game when it comes to its presentation, nor does it feature the most robust of rosters, but Matchpoint Tennis Championships nails the essentials. With regards to its gameplay, I haven’t played a tennis game like this since the golden days of Top Spin for the original Xbox. As a tennis enthusiast, I was salivating for a game like this for many years. It lets me play and come up with strategies on the fly, just like I’d do in real life. Whether you decide to tackle a career or just play a quick arcade match, Matchpoint Tennis Championships delivers. It’s one grand slam of a game.
Matchpoint - Tennis Championships is not a bad game, it can entertain. But its low difficulty and its excessive need to hold the player by the hand make it quickly lose interest in playing against an AI that does not offer any challenge. Still, if you want a game of tennis, it's not a bad option. There are simply better alternatives, even if they are perhaps less beautiful.
