If a game's title had any major bearing on its final score, we'd probably be looking at a rare PG Platinum Award for Tennis in the Face.
Alas, it doesn't, so we're not. But don't let that disappoint you too much, because Tennis in the Face is a pleasantly accomplished - if slightly generic - casual physics-puzzler.
Advantage Pagassi
Perhaps surprisingly, Tennis in the Face has very little to do with tennis.
While the protagonist is one Pete Pagassi, a disgraced tennis champ with a mean serve, the game plays more like Angry Birds than Virtua Tennis Challenge.
Summary
A delightfully silly physics-puzzler that's slightly derivative but highly entertaining
RATING
7/10
