*Tennis Elbow 2011* delivers an ace, even if you're no Rodger Federer or Rafa
Nadal in real life. What I look for in a game like this is realistic
gameplay, good sound effects, lots of realistic preferences and options and a
decent challenging level of play. Tennis Elbow *delivers on all counts*. The
ball movement, player movements and range of shots are as close to reality as
you'll get on a tennis game on the Mac. However, Tennis Elbow is a bit
*tricky to get started*. The first problem you'll have is configuring the
controls. There's no point even trying to play with the mouse so just go for
the keyboard settings that you can access by clicking "Controls" on the right
menu. More details of Tennis Elbow's*keyboard controls can be found in the
Public Notes* below. Note that in this demo of Tennis Elbow, you can only
choose to play a one off match on one surface but in the full game you have
all professional surfaces. The player sometimes feels a little slow to
respond and there doesn't seem to be any way to make diving shots but overall
the controls feel good. It will take you a few sets just to get used to the
way the player moves in Tennis Elbow. In the full version of Tennis Elbow,
you can go on a World Tour against 3000 players in 300 tournaments evolving
over a period of 36 years, with a complete double-ranking system in Single
and Double competitions. In addition, there are *6 difficulty levels*, each
split in 10 sub-levels with full ATP style ranking system. Finally, the
attention to detail even includes 9 different surfaces : clay, green clay,
grass, hard, blue-green hard, classic synthetic, NewLine synthetic, indoor
hard and indoor synthetic, each with a specific rebound. If you don't want to
play against the computer generated opponents in Tennis Elbow, there is a
*LAN mode* to play against friends elsewhere. The main downside of Tennis
Elbow however is that there are only two configurable characters. It's a
shame the developers didn't have the rights to include the real names of
players but for a small developer, the licensing costs would be too
expensive. *Tennis Elbow 2011 is an excellent tennis game that will have you
going back for more long after you install it.*Download *Tennis Elbow 2011
