    A breath of fresh air and certainly a game any tennis fan or PS2 owner shouldn’t be without.

    Good but not great, Smash Court doesn't need much to evolve into an awesome tennis game.

    Some clumsy colouring on the USA courts also means the ball can often get lost on screen making returns a gamble. Add in waif-like character models and it can often become a chore to keep an eye on the action.

    While Smash Court isn't quite as polished or deep as "Virtua Tennis," there's still plenty of fun to be had with this game.

    The so-so visual and sound package contributes to the middling quality of the game, too.

    This is so pick-up-and-play that it's perfect for first-time gamers. [May 2002, p.102]

    The game seems a bit slow in the response department. [May 2002, p.26]

    I'll try to keep Virtua Tennis out of this. The menu and selection interface is confusing - I don't know how to move through the I'll try to keep Virtua Tennis out of this. The menu and selection interface is confusing - I don't know how to move through the game. A fun game still, I'm just trying to get used to it (I just love Virtua Tennis). What's interesting is that it's littered with common objects from other video games - such was winning camera angles or tennis player photos (kind of like Sould Caliber on Dreamcast). All I'm waiting for now is an improvement in its sequel. I loved Virtua Tennis, but I left him for my new lover, Tennis 2K1.… Expand
