Sixteen fan-favorite SEGA characters from Sonic to NiGHTS are serving up fun in SEGA Superstars Tennis. Multiple madcap mini-games keep the party rolling and up to four friends can challenge each other in tournaments, exhibitions and unlockable special events. With hilarious cameos and comical guest umpires from SEGA's rich gaming history, this fun-filled tennis party promises to be a smashing good time for the whole family. Zany SEGA Characters with Superstar Abilities - Each of the 16 characters has their own superstar alter-ego, which gives them the winning edge on the court. Ten Fantastical Themed Courts - Guest umpires will supervise the action on a wide variety of colorful courts, from Sonic's lush Green Hill Zone to Ulala's galactic Space Channel 5 world, just to name a couple. Four Action-Packed Tournaments - As you slice your way through the competitive tournaments, you will unlock loads of bonus content. Classic Soundtrack - Faithfully recreated in full Dolby Digital 5.1, treasured SEGA tunes will entertain SEGA fans new and old. [Sega]

Official Nintendo Magazine UK
This has overtaken "Wii Sports" as our favourite tennis experience on the Wii. It's great fun even if you're not a Sega fan, but the lack of online is an insult to Wii gamers. [Apr 2008, p.70]

Play Magazine
There's more than enough here to luv for Sega fans big and small. [Apr 2008, p.64]

n-Revolution Magazine UK
A superbly well-rounded piece of family entertainment, and a cut above "Wii Tennis." [Issue#21, p.64]

Nintendo Power
That said, Sega Superstars Tennis is a love letter to Sega fans; if you consider yourself a fan at all, it's a must buy. [Apr 2008, p.85]

If you’re looking for a good game of tennis as well as a great collection of SEGA-based goodness, look no further than SEGA Superstars Tennis.

Game Informer
While the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions include online play and improved graphics, I surprisingly had a lot more fun on the Wii.

NintendoWorldReport
Its mini-games are definitely its highlight but once the novelty of them wears off, you’ll probably want to play the original titles rather than continue playing this one.
74
Cheat Code Central
It's a fun and more complete alternative to Wii Sports tennis. Being able to move the character with the control stick is huge.

Looks and sounds a lot nicer than it plays. [May 2008, p.58]

GameDaily
A decent rental.

Sega Superstars Tennis isn’t the best tennis game out there, especially since the actual tennis isn’t even as close to being as smooth or challenging as something like the Virtua Tennis or Top Spin games, but it can be just as rewarding for Sega fans and those people looking for a simple and fun approach to the sport.

The tennis is merely average, but the challenges and minigames in Sega Superstars Tennis are creatively done and a lot of fun.

EuroGamer
SEGA fans, run don't walk to the shops, but be prepared to give Superstars a few hours before the gameplay starts hugging you as hard as the graphics and sound. Everyone else, dust off Virtua Tennis 3 for a more complete alternative.

N-Europe
A surprisingly good celebration of all things Sega. If you liked Mario Tennis, you'll like this too. Entertaining stuff.

1UP
It's just a shame that, due to Sega's mismanagement of its properties over the last decade or so, Superstars Tennis comes too late to fully resonate with today's gaming audience.
65
PALGN
Sega Superstars Tennis mixes tennis and mini games and unfortunately doesn't really excel at either.
65
Game Chronicles
As long as one is willing to accept the fact that Sega Superstars Tennis is attuned to the younger crowd and does not expect an experience anywhere near as deep as the beloved Virtua Tennis - then Sega Superstars fits the bill.
62
IGN
A passable first entry into a potential new series that still has a lot of untapped potential.
60
Zentendo
The mission mode falls flat due to its repetition -- it takes too long to unlock rewards and the missions are too samey to be very pleasurable.

Wired
I wouldn't recommend that version of Sega Superstars Tennis to anyone who isn't a massive fan of the company. I had high hopes, but with so many simple yet crucial issues here, it looks like we're going to have to wait for the inevitable sequel before truly enjoying our trip down memory lane.

Electronic Gaming Monthly
Entertaining enough at first, but lacking any staying power. [Apr 2008, p.78]

Gamestyle
Ultimately Sega Superstars Tennis is yet another frivolous entry in the Wii Catalogue.
