You get to play a 3 game set as either Shadow or AiAi. Real fun IMO...I even unlocked some mini game where you can choose Sonic or Amigo and get to hit knock zombies down.

It is a timed demo for 1 or 2 players locally. After about 5 minutes it kicks you back to the menu.

Gameplay is very simplistic. It would probably make a good party game but it seems to have less depth in the gameplay than Virtua Tennis. There is also a big hug yellow star under each character...maybe you can change colors in full game...which I found distracting since it is the same color as the ball. I guess it really doesn't matter because the game has the depth of pong.

There is a couple cool mini games you can play as well. Maybe the best part of the game but you would be hard pressed to get me to invest even $40 for a bunch of mini games - even if they do ooze coolness with classic Sega characters and settings.

If you bleed Sega, have little kids or are looking for a party game that even non-gamers can pick up quickly then it might be worth looking for it on sale. Otherwise it looks like a pass. Real tennis fans should be waiting for TopSpin3

It was fun for a demo, but I couldn't see myself purchasing this one.
