“Not everything we hoped for from the N64's first tennis game, but an entertaining, jolly little game, nonetheless. One to ponder.”
“Centre Court is a sturdy tennis game, with an attractive multiplayer. It’s a long, looooong way from being perfect, but, well, it's a good first effort.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Nintendo 64 version.
Before you buy
The PAL cart is the dearer release, and loose and complete copies are priced at about the same level. The Japanese Let's Smash release is a separate release and costs much less loose and noticeably less complete, so it is the better value if you can read the menus. Fake risk is low.
