Rafa Nadal joins mobile tennis club
Spanish racketeer volleys his way onto phones
What with the weather turning cold, we'd forgotten all about Wimbledon. But despite our patriotic blindness to any other tournaments, the tennis circuit is still going strong, both in real life and on mobile.
And following Gameloft's announcement of Tennis Open 2007, starring Lleyton Hewitt, it's now the turn of piratically-dressed Spanish starlet Rafa Nadal to get his own mobile game, in the aptly-named Rafa Nadal Tennis.
The game offers exhibition, championship and tutorial modes, as well as a secret mini-game where you pay someone to assassinate Roger Federer after realising he's the only thing standing in the way of you and top spot in the rankings. Oh, alright, maybe not that last one.
However, it does have motion-captured graphics, which should suit Rafa's all-action playing style, as well as beefy sound. The game's been developed by Spanish developer Virtual Toys, and is being published outside Europe by GlobalFun, and in Europe by Virtual Toys themselves.
