Amiga Format said that Pro Tennis Tour is the better game: "International 3D Tennis is good, but the graphics let it down and, although it plays well, it does not play as well as Ubi Soft’s game." [1] Computer and Video Games concluded: "[...] once mastered, International 3D Tennis offers the best tennis action you're ever likely to experience off court." [6] The Games Machine summarized: "Combining the innovative 3-D with the variety of shots at hand and the sheer playability, International 3-D Tennis is one of the best computer sports games ever, appealing to many more than just tennis players." [7] Your Sinclair summed up: "Nice 3D gameplay, shame about the sluggish speed." [8]
