Due to be released tomorrow for the PSP.

I tried the demo and like it. Anyone else picking this up?

Very solid scores over at metacritic so far. (average of 82 as of this post)

Initial impressions...

Story mode is...slow and rather unimpressive. Get from A to B, play few matches inbetween to gain access to B. After you get to B, play against a boss character; win and the boss character becomes playable. Repeat.

Gamplay is solid. HST reminds me alot of Super Tennis for the SNES, only with current-gen additions (polys rather than sprites, voicework, more animations, etc) and the usual plethora of unlockables.

Maybe not as great as Virtua Tennis: World Tour, but a very enjoyable tennis game.
