    Control issues aside, Sega Superstars Tennis is swimming in clever game references and should be fun for even a casual Sega fan. [Apr 2008, p.89]

    As a happy-go-lucky bit of racket-fuelled froth it'll keep you pleasantly diverted. [June 2008, p.70]

    More than just a cash-in, but not quite perfect either, the title is nevertheless a great outing for a motley crew of Sega characters.

    Fun minigames, but these can't keep the rest of the game afloat. [June 2008, p.83]

    Merely average, but worth a look for Sega fanboys and girls.

    It should be noted that the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii versions offer a superior experience.

    I wonder what Segata Sanshiro would say if he were alive today. He was a commanding force who stood for playing hard until the score topped out or your fingers snapped under the pressure. More than that, he believed in the power of Sega, and so did I.

    It's packed to the brim with content ranging from minigames to tournament modes, and there's always something to do.
    While one might validly think there's too much Sonic representation in comparison to other characters and franchises, there's still a nice balance of characters who nicely represent their respective franchises.

    The challenge mode is filled with fun romps, and one especially great one is Space Harrier. Alongside numerous other ones of course.

    If you like sports games, or hell, just like Sega's IPs in general, then this game is a must have for you. Heavily underrated and undernoted by the majority of the public, or disregarded as the handheld version. When in all reality this is just a fun game to play for hours on end. Highly recommend it to Sega fans of all kinds.    … Expand
