First outing for Namco Bandai's sport's title on Xbox 360

Namco Bandai's renowned series, Smash Court Tennis 3 is due for release in June 2008 and will feature all of the biggest names from the sport, including Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova.

This will be the first outing of the title on Xbox 360 and Namco Bandai tell us that it will feature highly realistic visuals and a host of gameplay enhancements.

From established stars such as world number one Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Rafael Nadal and Martina Hingis, to rising talents including Italy’s Andreas Seppi and Nicole Vaidisova of the Czech Republic, each player has their own strengths and weaknesses which come into play on the game’s painstakingly rendered courts.

A host of customisation options allows players to choose rackets, shoes, hairstyles, skin tone and clothing to create their own unique star of the courts. New gameplay includes a system which lets all players, no matter what their skill level, benefit quickly from the powerful shots and finely honed skills of the star players.

Gameplay modes include Tutorial, Arcade, Pro-Tour, and Exhibition mode where up to four players can go head to head offline. The game also features an Online mode, which will include doubles matches. In addition to Xbox Live voice chat and rankings, players can take on opponents in online tournaments and in a range of different matches.

I absolutely LOVE tennis games. They're probably almost on par with racing games as my favourite genre.

There's just something about them that makes them so fun to play, and so competitive. I thought Top Spin 2 was awesome, Virtua Tennis 3 was great and Rockstar's Table Tennis, well, that was out of this world.

I'm looking forward to the next set of tennis games. Smart Court Tennis 3 I'm not too sure about as I'm unfamiliar with the series. But Top Spin 3, that's a title I'll be eager to get my hands on.

I remember playing doubles matches on Xbox Live on Top Spin 2, that was just fab. Some of the best multiplayer gaming there is.
