NDS Prince of Tennis: Crystal Drive - New Import

Tennis prodigy Ryouma Echizen returns for another rousing game of virtual tennis along with a large cast of characters from the Prince of Tennis phenomenon. Similar to options on other tennis sims, players may choose court type and play singles or doubles as well as set the match length.    For those concerned about playing an action-based tennis game with a stylus, relax. The tennis action in Crystal is still controlled through the D-pad and buttons but trademark Prince of Tennis power smashes are activated by thumping on-screen cues (lower screen) before a timer runs down. The lower screen also keeps track of stats, allows for coach interaction, and checks out the crowd reaction courtside. The action runs close to what we've come to expect from any Prince of Tennis game - quality gameplay, some animated drama related to the source material, and unrealistic super moves that can turn the tide of any match quickly.
