Fun but hard game - honest review

I think I can agree with the rest of the reviewers that this is the better of tennis games for Playstation 2. I have not played Top Spin though. Anyway, Smash Court 2 is very fun to play, it gets your competitive juices flowing, but this game is very difficult to win matches on - even on the easy level. I don't think I suck at this game or at video games in general. I find the player movement on screen is often not as fast as I would like in order to get to the ball. Now I am not an avid real tennis player as it seems from a lot of the other reviewers that they are, and it these people that appreciate this game the most. So perhaps this is why I find this game so hard.

"Are You Kidding; The best tennis Game to date"

Ok Customers,

This game is definately the easiest tennis game I have ever played. I have played rival games such as Topspin and SegaSport tennis and none come 3percent close. The only thing that would give this game 20stars is if it came with online gaming.

Listen yall, Just cause I give this game 5 stars does not mean that it is the best tennis game. I have high standards becuase I am a die hard tennis fan and I feel like the gaming world dont really put their hearts into creating tennis games as they do other sporting games. But to be fair and completely honest this game is what I love to call fair.

There is nothing to complain about in this game when it comes to playing a good game of tennis. You have all the shots the player listen to you and the keys are very easy to master. I could probably beat the game with my feet.

Yall talking about the pro tour mode. It is a little bit more challenging but it is so much fun, and I dont like to cheat and chose the set mode, i think it is much more challengeing to play the pro tour mode in the generic standards.

Yall need to know that a bunch of feminist created this game. This is definately big babes tennis, because the women hits the ball 10 times as hard as the men, and although it says that their serves are weaker it is a lie. The guys hit the shot all awkward and have box bodies, while the girls have the most curvacious and biggest behinds you have ever seen on a woman, and they hit the ball with such style and accuracy, that it looks so real. And they have their animated screams. Hey they definately made this game for people who are more interested in womens tennis like me because I love to play with these girls. I feel the fight more from them than the guys. Especially when I pit Justine and Serena in roland garros. I make sure serena gets the revenge on Justine and double bagel her cheating behind.

The characters looks so real, and the game looks so good visually. You will love this game if you get someone who loves the game to and you both compete against one another. It was meant for friends to compete against one another because the computer players are to easy to beat. And the game is so fair because when you play against someone who knows their game it is the most explosive tennis game you will ever see in your life. Please listen to me and get this game solely for this reason. I think this is the secret power and worth to this game, to play it with another devoted tennis gaming fan. I really hope you enjoy this game. I have been playing it for over 4years now and I never grow bored of it. You will definately not regret this one, and trust me I have regreted all the other tennis games that I have bought but this one is fair, and I know that everyone here knows it. Take it from an extremely diehard tennis player, and tennis gaming fan, that this is a classic and the best tennis game to date.

Good Game

this game is pretty good. but as other reviews have said it is not for the fair weather tennis fan. it takes a lot of patience to actually rise through the rankings. if you think one win will get you to the top,think again. the amazing variety of pro players gives a great custom feel.but there are a few things i really dont like. ina tournament you can't scan through the entire draw and see how the pros are doing,or even to see who your prospective opponents are, in fact, you have to wait for whatever the comouter decides after the second round. another thing i found really disturbing is it does not follow the draws of the pros. i workedmy but off to get to number 2 in the world,then go into the us open thinking that would gaurantee me a decent shot at the semi finals. boy was i wrong. i got the number 1 player inthe world the third round, and the whole rest of the way i had to battle top 10 players before losing in the semis because my chracter was exhausted. this didnt just happen once, but multiple times. this would never happen in the actual tennis world. but, the gameplay itself is amazing and realistic,even for those flaws. it is worth the money

Great!

This game is very fun and addicting. I;m not very good at it yet and it takes a min to master the controls, but its very easy to pick up and play. Graphics are very good and the game play is tough. This is not an easy game. You'll definalty find this game easier if you've played previous tennis titles and the wide range of characters that it has is amazing. The one thing i didn't like about this title is the create your own tennis star. For me this is the bread and butter of a game. I don't know about you, but i like to put myself in the action. There wasn't a whole lot of options to choose from. Once you created yourself and put on your spiffy tennis gear thats all you can wear till you win some torneys and then your able to purchase stuff that you don't really want anyways. Overall though it has little flaws and is a very fun game. Warning if you have high blood pressure this game will shoot it through the roof. Have fun with this one!

Fabulous Tennis Game!

I started playing this game about a month ago and am hugely addicted to it! The best part is the gameplay, which is amazingly realistic. As a tennis player and big fan of the sport, it is a pleasure to have total control over all aspects of gameplay. Contrary to what some reviewers have written, serving is not hard. If you use the directional pad instead of the analog stick, you can place your serve ANYWHERE in the box (down the middle, out wide, deep, shallow). And depending on what button you use, you can hit a power, topspin/kick, slice or slow-ball serve. You should be able to ace the computer even on the hardest level.

As in real tennis, the keys to playing well are movement and timing. You need to position yourself in the right spot to strike the ball, and you need to time your swing. Swing at the right time, and you maximize your power and accuracy; swing a little early or late, and your power and accuracy go down; swing WAY early or late, and you will miss the ball completely. Unlike in other tennis games, where power comes from activating an external meter, power in SCTPT2 comes from hitting the ball at the right time and from the right position.

Another realistic feature of the game is how significantly play changes from surface to surface. On grass, the ball stays low and skids, making it easier to hit aces and harder to return serve. On clay, the ball makes marks on the court, and the slipping and sliding of the players is both visible and audible. The music is a bit annoying, though it can be turned off. I like to play with just the sound effects (grunting, shoe squeaking, ball striking, etc.). Extra features, like a cellphone going off in the crowd and the umpire then asking for silence, are also much appreciated!

The graphics and array of tour professionals are really impressive, though no Federer is dissapointing. The pro tour mode is also pretty cool. With extensive training excercises, a full tournament shedule, pratice matches against top pros, a pro shop where you can buy clothing and racquets, and fan mail, you really feel like you are on tour. And yea, while it would be nice to play more than 3 games per match (you actually do this in the late rounds of big tournaments--up to 6 games in the championship match of a major), that would take too long. If you want to go the distance in an epic 5 set match, feel free in exhibition mode against the computer or a friend.

Playing with friends is a ton of fun. Unfortunately, one of you always needs to play upside down on the far court, which is VERY hard, unintuitive and a little frustrating. Having some sort of split screen, or allowing for two different systems to hook up to each other, would be a big improvement. There is no online play, which too is obviously disappointing.

All in all, SCTPT2 is a great game that can be fun for everyone but is tailor-made for the hard-core tennis fan out there. If that is you, BUY THIS GAME! You won't regret it.

FOR HARDCORE TENNIS FANS ONLY

THIS GAME IS EXCELLENT BUT ITS NOT FOR THE CASUAL TENNIS FANS.GET TOPSPIN IF YOU DONT EAT AND SLEEP TENNIS.SMASHCOURT IS MORE REALISTIC WHICH MAKES IT A LITTLE HARDER THAN TOPSPIN BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE RIGHT IN POSITION TO MAKE A VOLLEY OR RETURN SERVES AND YOU NOTICE THIS A GREAT DEAL IF YOU BEEN PLAYING TOPSPIN AND THEN TRY AND PLAY SMASHCOURT.THIS ISNT A BAD THING IT JUST MEANS THE GAME IS MORE REALISTIC TO ACTUAL TENNIS GAME PLAY AND NOT SO MUCH ARCADE STYLE LIKE TOPSPIN IS.PRO TOUR MODE ISNT HARD LIKE SOME REVIEWERS SAY THEY MUST BE CASUAL TENNIS FANS BECAUSE I BEAT THE TOP 1 RANKED PLAYERS EASILY IN MY FIRST YEAR ON THE TOUR.I MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FINALS OF THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN IN MY FIRST YEAR BEFORE LOSING IN THE FINAL AND THAT WAS MY PLAYER WITHOUT ANY POINTS OR ANY SKILLS ADDED YET.ONLY REASON I DONT GIVE THIS GAME 5 STARS IS BECAUSE IT DOESNT LET YOU PLAY MORE THAN 1 SET ON THE TOUR MODE,AND IT ONLY GOES UP TO 6 GAMES IF YOU REACH THE FINALS.YOU CAN HOWEVER PLAY UP TO 5 SETS AND 6 GAMES IF YOU WANT ON EXIBITION MODE,IT JUST WONT COUNT FOR WINNING A TOURNAMENT.ONLY TENNIS GAME THAT IS AS GOOD AS THIS IN MY OPINION IS SUPER TENNIS FOR SNES BUT THIS ONE GETS THE EDGE BECAUSE OF THE GRAPHICS.
