    Its slow and boring pace kills what should be some of the best tennis around given the game's lineup of stars.

    The game just isn’t fun. The spotty controls, rigid character movement, and frail character creation drag Smash Court into the ground.

It is a game which is most difficult from the outset to acquaint oneself with, if a gamer is persistent however the gameplay is most fulfilling.
