I won a best of 5 series against the CPU, 3 games to 2.
The biggest knock I have is that you can't move the paddle all the way to the top of the screen, making it impossible to return some shots, which I think was purposely done to prevent games from going on forever. I ended up scoring about 5 consecutive points because the next serve starts from the net and it just got hung up serving to that spot -- I wasn't trying to be cheap, it just happened and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it except wait, hoping it stops serving to that spot. If you also manage to get the ball to go horizontal along the bottom of the screen, you can just sit there forever hitting it back and forth without moving your paddle. I found that about the only way to score against the CPU (other than the top of the screen, cheap way) is to hit the ball with the edge of your paddle, because the CPU doesn't move fast enough for the sharp angle, and really only returns them by chance. It is a definite plus that after a few volleys, the ball does start going faster. Because of this, the game is a little tough, since the window between losing a point and hitting that spot on either side of your paddle is pretty small.
