A breath of fresh air and certainly a game any tennis fan or PS2 owner shouldnt be without.
-
80Good 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.
-
Control is natural and fast, and a simple command interface makes Smash Court pure fun to pay. [Mar 2002, p.52]
-
One of the most fun tennis games ever created, hands down.
-
Sadly, the aforementioned stars look a little chunky, due to the odd character models, and move like they've hit the Wimbeldon locker-room buffet one too many times, giving the game a much slower feel than "Virtua Tennis." [Apr 2002, p.74]
-
75Its not as fluid as the "Virtua Tennis" series, but its timed gameplay plus pro player and tournament package make it a solid effort.
-
72While Smash Court isn't quite as polished or deep as "Virtua Tennis," there's still plenty of fun to be had with this game.
-
A hard working tennis game that has lots of guts, but not so much finesse. However, the plusses do outweigh the minuses by quite a bit.
-
70The 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]
-
Compares favorably to "Tennis 2K2" in many respects but lacks its overall level of polish and spot-on controls.
-
67Because it demands a lot of precision during play, sometimes the fun gets lost in the shuffle.
-
60The game seems a bit slow in the response department. [May 2002, p.26]
-
60Namco has blatantly stolen every single positive aspect of Sega's Hitmaker tennis games to create its own, and that's just sad.
