About

SEGA Superstars Tennis features classic SEGA characters - including Sonic the Hedgehog and Ulala from Space Channel 5 - plus some of the most unusual courts and outrageous settings ever imagined in a rousing match of tennis. Developed by Sumo Digital (the team behind the enjoyable Virtua Tennis 3), this title features a toal of 15 playable characters (and a host of SEGA icons cheering on from courtside), each with their own over-the-top tennis skills. Courts are SEGA-themed too, with Green Hill Zone and Samba de Amigo's Carnival Park.

    You probably don't believe me, but Sega Superstars Tennis is actually good. It's a damn solid game, with bright and beautiful graphics, simple but fun gameplay and a significant wad of content. While it's certainly not a game you'd be spending weeks playing, it is a definite rental, and the most hardcore of Sega fans might be interesting in picking it up for keeps.

    The shallow on-court action is of most concern to hardcore Sega fans, however. With basic controls and repetitive modes, the quality of play won't hold the attention of experienced sports gamers for more than an hour. Sega Superstars is best viewed as an introductory tennis title that aces the atmosphere but faults on the fundamentals.

    If you're looking to play traditional tennis, then you'll want to stick with Top Spin or Virtua Tennis. But if you want a lighthearted tennis game, enjoy minigames, and have a special place in your heart for the glory days of Sega, then you'll find a lot to like in Sega Superstars Tennis.

    SEGA Superstars Tennis is a great bit of fan service for SEGA's army of die-hard supporters but it's also a highly entertaining game of tennis that almost everyone will get some fun out of. It lacks the depth required of a game that will stand the test of time and live on for months if not years to come, but for simple fun, either alone or with a few mates, SEGA has a winner on its hands.

    Fans of either classic Sega or Virtua Tennis will immediately feel comfortable with this title and find more than enough to satisfy them. Others may become bored with the repetitive mini-games. Regardless, Sega Superstars Tennis is worth a look because although for some the fun may not last, there is still a good time to be had.

    There's no denying that Sega Superstars Tennis relies on its multiplayer to keep the party jumping, with single-player little more than a lonely trek around Sega's candy-coloured museum as easy achievements ping with alarming regularity. Yet the multiplayer is good enough to keep the party going well into the night.
