Tennis can be entertaining for a little while, but it's difficult to recommend when there's a much better option available in Wii Sports' tennis game.

Tennis lets you play a singles match against the CPU, but the only way to play with another person is to team up and challenge the computer in doubles. There's no two-player singles play.
