SEGA Superstars Tennis -- Initial Impression.

While I'm eternally playing Phantasy Star Universe and wrapping up Condemned 2 for the last couple of remaining single-player achievements I'm moving on to my next game. It happens to be SEGA Superstars Tennis for the Xbox 360. What am I expecting with this one? Given the game was developed by Sumo Digital, a rather really good time. SEGA Superstars Tennis is essentially the Virtua Tennis 3 engine with a fresh coat of mascot colored paint. So it should be a good playing game of tennis. I'm also expecting bright and colorful high definition graphics that look great and are really clean. I'm expecting really good music as there are some reported heavy hitters on board arranging classic SEGA tunes. Supposedly Richard Jacques of Jet Set Radio fame has an arrangement of the Space Harrier theme somewhere on the disc. That should prove worth the full price of admission right there. I'm also expecting a wealth of fun and creative mini-games which would be par for the course with Virtua Tennis. There should be a rather large amount of un-lockable items. And of course, to sweeten the deal we should have some fun with the Xbox Live aspects of the game. As always though, time will tell.
