The goofy gang of Raccoons from the Frogger-inspired arcade game Varmintz Deluxe bring along some friends to challenge on the Tennis court. Shady and company volley, competing for the title of Tennis Titan, while trying to eliminate competitors with clever shots. A traditional tennis format with 2 out of 3 winning sets will be quite familiar to anyone with any tennis background. The ring game presents an additional challenge, requiring you to hit the ball through rings and defeat your opponent during any given volley in order to win the most ring points during a two-minute countdown. In either variation, defeating an opponent unlocks that character making them available to you for game play. Watch out Pete Sampras; Shady, Rubin, Spelvin and Bella have some racket skills to be reckoned with. My only complaint with the game is the characters tend to repeat the same comments frequently, which get monotonous, but game play is definitely fun. Sixty minutes of game play is enough to beat the first two tournament rounds once you master the art of the return.
