The Game is Being Played on the Apple TV

So, to play a game just select which type of match you want I'm just going to going for a quick match press play match and I'm also going to select amateur because I don't want to look terrible on video so then it asks us to calibrate the phone.

Calibrating the Phone

so what we need to do is hold it out in front of the TV like this point it directly at the television set tap whether you're you're left-handed or right-handed so I'm right-handed there we go Tap Play ready to roll then it shows you uh best way to hold your uh device if you've got the new iPod touch it does recommend using the wrist strap so I'll do my best to demonstrate some of of the uh some of the moves

Making Moves in the Game

so we sort of go upwards to serve yeah we just sort of swipe across like that or across like that or down like that to make the various uh the various shots but as you can see it's pretty pretty responsive there's no sort of you know really noticeable lag in how uh and how the game play is carried out you know it's I'm swinging and it's pretty much just reacting uh as I do it and I have to win that game brilliant so there we go
