Amazon.co.uk Review
If you want to show Tim Henman and the rest how it should be done, you could a lot worse than Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2. The sequel to Sony's popular 2002 title, Pro Tournament 2 includes a slew of famous names including Andy Roddick, Serena Williams, Ana Kournikova, and, yes, Tim Henman (but not Greg Rudeski). It also features all the major tennis tournaments with Wimbledon, the French Open, the US Open and the Australian Open. There're also six game modes, with a four-player (if you have a multi-tap) doubles mode and a Pro Tour Mode where you can create your own character, including controlling their appearance, and play them through a series of matches and championships instead of just pretending to be an existing star. But any tennis game can offer all that. What makes Pro Tournament 2 the best on the PS2 is the simple yet versatile controls that don't overwhelm you with different buttons for every different shot and yet also avoid making things too simple with a one-button-fits-all approach. It may be just another tennis game, but Pro Tournament 2 is the best yet on the PS2 and the next best thing to being there in the summer season. --David Jenkins

Spot on gameplay and just pure fun August 7, 2006
Really good fun, with very realistic gameplay. If you play tennis then the timing and positioning are here just as important to hit that killer shot although the beginner will also be able to hoik it over the net without to much hassle.
The musak is awfull but you can turn it off, I could not find anyway of turning off the between point flyby's of the crowd and players. You can get rid of these just by pressing X at the time though.
It does seem a little confusing that the first player to get to six games wins a set but guess that is just to make it easy for the beginner to comprehend, you can turn on tie breaks in the options screen.
I especially love this game in multiplayer mode, have sat there for hours into the night playing, the only thing that curbs enthusiasm is your ability to time shots as your eyes get heavy!
Great Fun!
 Totally Rubbish! August 25, 2005

If you are looking for a tennis game that is fun to play and keeps you interested for more than 5 minutes, get a different game. The graphics are really terrible. None of the players look at all realistic and the different surfaces are laughable. The different tournament modes were really boring, I wish i hadn't bought this game. If you want a good tennis game, buy Virtua Tennis 2 it is a million times better

If you want a tennis game that has any lastability, good graphics and anything to make it worth playing, then get a different game. I was persuaded by the other reviews to buy this game, don't make the same mistake! Within about 10 minutes of playing this game, i was totally bored! None of the characters look at all realistic, you can't tell one from the other. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! If you want good graphics and lastability then buy Virtua Tennis 2.
 fantastic, probably the best fun a game has offered me! August 4, 2005

what can i say, to start off i watched Wimbledon this year and enjoyed watching it. I find tennis a real good sport, probably the best sport i really like. So i thought about seeing if there were any good games for the PS2 that would give me enjoyment of playing tennis whenever i wanted. I played Topspin on the Xbox, and that was brilliant, i was going after a game like that, but for the PS2 as Topspin was an Xbox game. So i browsed on Amazon for a descent tennis game and straight away came to this one. I was pleased with the amount of good reviews for the game and knew this was the one. And i picked probably the best tennis game ever...This game has totally everything you could possibly want on a tennis game, and loads more. Firstly, people have been complaining about characters. To me, those people are just stupid and dont give credit to the massive ammount of amazing talented players there are on there anyway. Ok, Federer isnt on it, but Andy Roddick is, and hes amazing. So is Henman and Hewitt and Davenport and Serena for the women characters. There are more than enough players to be. I got gripped immediatly to the game straight away, couldnt stop playing it it was that good. I love creating your own character for the pro tour mode on the game. Lots of different clothing and acessories to choose from, and i love playing in tournaments and getting fan mail! totally awesome stuff! I find the controls are very easy to use, and good that there is a tutorial, it helped me out alot and would advise people to start with that first. I even like the way you can do an exhibition match, and choose how many sets and games you want to play, if you want music on and camera angles. It all fits in perfectly and makes a fantastic game, and well done to namco!!
 No Roger Federer July 19, 2005

This is a very enjoyable and you get to play different tornaments throughout the year but there is one problem. There are only 10 male and 10 female player that you can play but the most rediculous thing is that the best tennis player in the world (Roger Federer) is not even in the game.
