The aim of Tennis is to hit the ball over the net and past the opponent to score points and win games, sets and matches. The opponent will be trying to do the same, and will attempt to volley the ball back to you. If a player's swing hits the net or if the ball hits the player, then that player gets a fault and the opponent scores. If a player's swing lands outside of the play area on the opponent's side, then that player gets an out and the opponent scores. If a player fails to return a ball before it bounces on the court a second time, then the opponent scores a point. If both players reach 40 points at the same time, then a Deuce is declared, and the players have to play for an advantage.
There are four difficulty levels to choose from, and you can play against a second player by connecting two games with the Game Link cable.
