  1. Sluggish controls, sloppy animations, and the general feeling that you are playing a PSP game through your Xbox 360 make this game fall far behind its competitors.
  2. The game just isn’t fun. The spotty controls, rigid character movement, and frail character creation drag Smash Court into the ground.
  3. Ultimately this is soulless and boring with almost no redeeming features, and the worst tennis game of this generation by some margin.
  4. Ironically, the old Virtua Tennis continues to do the job for me if I need to play a tennis game; this one is at the bottom of the heap.

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

    It is with great difficulty, that with a mere few hours a critic is expected to evaluate a game to which they hardly know. Smash Court Tennis It is with great difficulty, that with a mere few hours a critic is expected to evaluate a game to which they hardly know. Smash Court Tennis 3 is a game which on reflection a lot of reviewers will wish they had not been so hasty to critique. 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. IF the ideal tennis simulation is a game finely balanced between technique, tactics and gameplay, between reality and control then Smash Court Tennis 3 is a game which should have been given a much higher rating than its competitors.
