Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip is an arcade tennis game in line with the rest of the Hot Shots games. The game's physics are loose and forgiving, yet still true to the game of tennis. This game refines the gameplay found in 2007's Hot Shots Tennis on the PS2, which was the first introduction of tennis applied to the Hot Shots formula. This is not a serious tennis game; rather, it has colorful characters, wacky locations, and easy controls to understand. The game's controls are simple and easy to pick up for almost anyone (as the Hot Shots games strive to accomplish, but without dumbing down the difficulty or making the game too trivial).
The game uses the PSP's face buttons to dictate the different types of shots when returning a shot: lob, slice, or topspin. Serving is handled in a similar vein. The gameplay has layers of depth for players willing to put the time to understand the game further. This added complexity comes in the form of angling your shots, timing your returns, and moving around the court efficiently.
