Having mentioned this in my previous review for Adidas Championship Tie-Break I felt I had to review it next. It is a far better game than Tie-Break and a pretty playable tennis game in its own right. It looks decent and it plays much more straightforward. It's not the best tennis game in the world and the arcade game wasn't particularly much to rave about, but this is a worthy conversion and certainly one of the more playable and nicer tennis games on the Spectrum.

I usally dont go for games viewed from above, the first Tennis game I've played was Match Point, and that is the angle which I'm happier with, so I wasnt' to eager in playing another 2D looking game. But I'm must admit that it is quite enjoyable and very playable. There are better Tennis games out there but Passing Shot is a playable straightforward action game, very worthy of £8.99 that was asked for at the time.

The arcade game is average at best, but the Spectrum port is actually pretty good. Plays really well.
