Bottom line, as with all the Hot Shots games (I have had enough golf though, thanks for the change Sony) Hots Shots Tennis is big on fun, end of story. [July 2007, p.63]
A must play for anyone who likes tennis games. Hot Shots Tennis has done for this sport the same things it did for golf – bring out the essence of the sport and leave everything else behind.

All told, it's just a solid, by-the-numbers "Virtua Tennis" clone with a generic cast of Clap Hanz creations. If you really must have a tennis game on your PS2, the bargain basement will serve you far better than this rather apologetic 'will this do?' offering.
In the end, this one poses as a tennis game for beginners, but even tykes will only be mildly amused.
Summary (Known as "Everybody's Tennis" in the UK/EU) Hot Shots Tennis is a fun, accessible sports game that's easy to pick up and play but very hard to put down.
