Pete Sampras Tennis

What a racket


Genre: sports - tennis

Publisher: Sportsmaster

Year: 1994

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Good movement. Ball moves very slowly and dies when it bounces. Your hits aren't strong enough to get it past the opponent or even to get them in a bad position on the court. They can always get to it. Your opponent very rarely doesn't return a volley, so rallies always end with 1) you missing the ball, or 2) someone hits it out of bounds. Half the time you attempt to swing you instead leap for the ball and miss it entirely. Incredibly difficult to score a point.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Exhibition, tournament, tour, and a Neo Geo-style video tutorial


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Presented quite well. Menus are large, attractive, and


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Lovely graphics and sprites. However, the view is too low for my tastes which makes it hard to guage distance. Still, this game looks attractive compared to many other tennis titles.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Nice voice samples. The announcer has an enjoyable British accent and the grunts and hits all sound good.


Overall Score: 46
