Pros
Pro Fun twist on the game of tennis
Selfie Tennis works in an original way where the player will serve the ball to then see themselves teleported to the other side of the net to volley it back. This continues until you miss the ball or make a bad shot. Basically it is a two person game of tennis played all by yourself making each and every shot.
Pro Easily take in game photos of the silly gameplay
While you are playing the game there is an option to take "selfies", this can then be shared with friends or acquaintances through social media.
Pro Amusing characters
You can play as a unicorn, which makes for light hearted and funny gameplay.
Pro Great for demos for beginners
Amazing for people using the Vive for the first time.
Pro Good at showing off VR capabilities
A good test to see what VR and the Vive are capable of but more than a proof of concept due to the available gameplay.
Pro Funny gameplay
Lots of humor is included in the game, making for an enjoyable experience for those that appreciate slapstick.
Pro Comes free with the Vive bundle
Comes free with the Vive bundle, which is a bundle with no additional cost, but has limited stock, so may be difficult to obtain.
Pro Plenty to do
First there are the objectives for each of the 4 jobs available, which usually in total take about two and a half hours to three hours. Once you finish that you get three modes you can add on to any of the jobs, being, bouncy mode, zero g mode, and dollhouse mode. There is also lots of things to mess around with and small things that make it great, such as being able to copy your hand or brain in the copy machine.
Cons
Con Movement is limited
As the player teleports between each side of the court, there is no way to choose what part of the court you teleport to, which can make it difficult to get shots that are near the edge of the court.
Con Somewhat simple for the price
There are no settings to adjust and there is only one goal of the game, to volley the ball back and forth as long as you can. This may not make for a deep enough game for some especially when considering the $20 price tag.
Con Not much replayability
Once each mini game has been played through, there is not much incentive to continue playing. While it does service as a nice proof of concept to show off to friends, the lasting appeal of this game is basically zilch.
Con Really simple gameplay
While the game does require both Vive controllers to be used, more often than not only one will be in use. On top of this the games found within are all simple tasks, such as layering sandwich ingredients one by one or stamping resumes of employees that need fired. Basically all the games within are take object from point A to point B, which many be a bit too simple for some.
