Grenade Tennis 2, by Paul Jeffries, is actually one of the best, if not the best klik sport games I have ever played. This game has a one player mode, which most sports games lack; and it also has a two player mode.
This game is more like pong than tennis, but uses rackets instead of paddles (no pun intended), and you can hit the ball in four directions. You can also move your character up and down. The purpose of this game is to hit the grenade to the other side (the edge of the screen), and basically kill the player by reducing his health; which is done by hitting grenades or by a stage hazard (cannons, lava, guns, etc.)
For the two-player mode, there is a lot of variety, including 6 (9, with beating the game and cheats) characters to choose from and around 16 courts to play in. You can also choose how powerful the grenade damage is. The two player mode is nice.
The one-player mode is what makes this game one of the best. It has intelligent A.I., knowing where to hit the ball most of the time (there is a neat trick to get past this). Of course, it's not the best it can be, considering a lot of times they don't even hit the ball, but it's excellent. The cutscenes are humourous, and the game is well thought out.
The graphics are pretty good, considering their "large" sprites. They fit the game well, and his technique of only using one body (maybe two) while changing the face is clever. Of course, that creates the problem that they all look alike, but their faces are different and nicely done.
The music is varied and suits the game a little. It's not the best choice of music, but it does fit the game and the theme of the place. Paul Jeffries should change the main menu's (the one where you choose what you want to do) music, though. The sound is good, there's no overabundance and it fits the game well.
And the gameplay! Well, it's great, even though newbies at the game will get pissed a bit at the bosses (secret characters) and at the controls. But after you play a while the controls are just a little obstacle that isn't so important. Besides, it's probably better with the arrow keys, considering how long it would take to press a button to change direction (aka, press "Enter" to change the direction to the left, then press shift, it'll bounce back and now you need to press "Backspace" to go to the right direction). Other than the controls it has great gameplay.
In conclusion, Grenade Tennis 2 is definitaly worth the download. You will probably have fun with this, especially if you like pong-like games. CHEATS:

Win Adventure Cup- gtngbtr
Win Science Cup- nttllbd
Win both- bldybrll
cheat mode- chtnbstd

Almost Always get a point:
When the other person is serving, put your characters left foot (or foot closest to the left of the screen) on the line. The computer will hit it towards the right. Move towards the right and press shift. The grenade will go past the computer, and register a hit. (Note: Make sure he has his racket to the hit left position).
