Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 is a tennis game created by Namco for the PlayStation 2.

Gameplay

The game features many playable modes including Arcade mode and the in depth Pro tour mode in which you create a player and try to become a tennis champion. Other modes include Exhibition, Challenge and Tutorial. There are a range of courts one can play on, including those at the Australian Open (the old Rebound Ace courts), Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. Along with various tennis characters, players can unlock characters from the Soul (Cassandra Alexandra and Raphael Sorel) and Tekken (Heihachi Mishima and Ling Xiaoyu) series.

Reception

Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 has received mixed to positive reviews, with aggregate scores of 76.33% on GameRankings and 74 on Metacritic. Ryan Davis of GameSpot gave the game a 7.5/10, stating "PlayStation 2 owners should find plenty to like about Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2.". IGN's Ed Lewis gave it a solid 8.0/10, giving the closing comment of "Overall, it still isn't the best thing out there, but it's definitely a solid update and holds rather strongly by itself." One specific criticism of the game was that when entering the Davis-Cup styled 'World Tournament' as a player from a small nation, no realistic name generator was available for partners and other team members.

Game notes

Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 was a best-selling game, going platinum. Another tennis video game was released by Namco exclusive to Europe called Roland Garros 2005. It used the same engine as this game.
