Oh yeh, sorry I meant the actual graphics style is great.  I too love the 
cartoony type artwork.  My only annoyance is the low resolution output 
(maximum 480p IIRC), it looks a bit rubbish when viewed close-up on a big TV 
(as I imagine most people do when playing).

I'm waiting for a better tennis game to come out.  I got totally addicted to 
the Wii Sports tennis game for several months, but it's a bit limited once 
you've mastered the fast serves and spinning the ball - and it gets 
frustrating at times, like when you want to do a backhand shot but it forces 
you to do a forehand so you can't get the angle.
